The Narrative of the Honourable John Byron, Commodore in a Late Expedition round the World: Containing an Account of the Great Distresses Suffered by Himself and his Companions on the Coast of Patagonia, from the Year 1740, till their Arrival in England,

First published in 1768, this dramatic account by naval officer John Byron (1723–86) recounts the five harrowing years it took to get home after the wreck and mutiny of HMS Wager in 1741. Aboard the Beagle on Darwin's voyage, the book also influenced Don Juan by the author's grandson.
