This translation begins (Chancellor):
"Charleston, September 27th, 1869.—It is high tide, and three o'clock in the afternoon when we leave the Battery-quay; the ebb carries us off shore, and as Captain Huntly has hoisted both main and top sails, the northerly breeze drives the "Chancellor" briskly across the bay."
The translation continues (Martin Paz):
"The sun had just sunk behind the snowy peaks of the Cordilleras, and, although the beautiful Peruvian sky was being covered by the veil of night, the atmosphere was clear and refreshing in its balmy coolness."
- The half-title page has "The Survivors of the Chancellor;" over "and" over "Martin Paz.".
- The title page has "The" over "Survivors of the Chancellor" over "Diary of J. R. Kazallon, Passenger". It also states "Translated from the French by Ellen Frewer". There is no art credit. The first set of images are signed Riou. The images match those of the original French and are credited as such.
- The list of illustrations is broken into two parts, headed "The Survivors of the "Chancellor."" and "Martin Paz".
- The novel opens on page 1 with the title "The Survivors of the Chancellor." over "Diary of J. R. Kazallon, Passenger.", with both titles appearing as page headers (left and right). It is closed with the statement "End of the Chancellor".
- The novella is titled "Martin Paz." with a footnote that states ""Martin Paz" is one of M. Verne's earliest works. Previous to the publication of "Cinq Semaines en Ballon" the author had made his début in a volume (published under the general title of "Docteur Ox") containing "Maître Zacharias","Un Hivernage dans les Glaces," "Un Drame dans les Airs," and "Martin Paz."
Jules Verne had not then adopted the style which has since rendered his name famous; but it is interesting to note how these first essays already indicated the germs of that genius which has made his works a spécialté in our literature. For this reason they merit being preserved. - J. Hetzel."
