Through Spain and Portugal (Classic Reprint) by Ernest Peixotto (Paperback / softback, 2016)

Excerpt from Through Spain and Portugal It was a gay ship's company indeed after thirteen drowsy days together on tropic seas. By chance we met some friends from Chile and had a merry time that evening at the captain's dinner where every one made speeches and danced afterward at a costume ball, given in the huge white-and-gold saloon. Next afteron (a record trip, I believe) we raised land at about four o'clock, and I heard some Brazil ians near me murmur, tierra Portuguese - their motherland. First faint and blue on the brilliant water, this land gradually took shape and became a definite hill, nay, a mountain, a jagged, purple silhouette against the sky - a shape that has guided many a weary mariner safe to port and many an intrepid discoverer home from visions of new lands beyond the sea.
