| Remarks | "Reynolds had become a convert to Symmes' theory that the earth is hollow. Symmes' idea was accepted as possible by some respected scientists of the time. ... Over time, Reynolds became willing to accept the possibility that the theory was wrong ... Reynolds garnered support from private sources and the expedition sailed from New York City in 1829. With much danger, the expedition reached the Antarctic shore and returned north, but at Valparaiso, Chile, the crew mutinied and set Reynolds and another man on shore. In 1832, the United States frigate "Potomac" under Commodore John Downes arrived. ... Reynolds joined Downes as his private secretary for the trip and wrote a book about the experience.""
