Is that the part were Dana gets off the ship and works for a while with a crew collecting hides? It's been a while since I read the book.

Yes, that's the one. I first read it when I lived in San Diego. He also worked on the shore in San Diego boiling chunks of whale into oil. It was interesting reading his descriptions of the coast and comparing it to how it's changed. When he returned to Boston his brother went to CA, married a Spanish landowners daughter. That's Dana, Dana Point is named after.
