At the beginning of 1815, Samuel Hill, a sea captain, calculated that he had lost $7,000 since the beginning of the war of 1812. To repair his fortunes, he undertook the command of the Ophelia on a speculative voyage from Boston to Chile, China and return. On his return, after an absence of 20 months, he embarked almost immediately on a second and similar voyage in the Packet. On this voyage three trips were made from Chile to China. the Packet returned to Boston after a voyage of four years, eleven months and 24 days.

Informative accounts of proceedings and places visited on the voyages outlined above. On the first voyage, Hill visited or sighted the following Pacific Islands: Juan Fernandez, Galapagos, Hawaii, Ebon Atoll, Aranuka (Gilbert Islands), Santa Ana and Bougainville (Solomons), New Britain, New Ireland, the Admiralty Islands and Mapia. The accounts of Hawaii, Bougainville and Mapia are especially interesting. On the second voyage, Hill was in Hawaii on three occasions. He also landed on Agrigan in the Marianas. Otherwise he generally kept clear of the islands.
