It
was
during
the
night
of
the
26th
or
27th
of
June
,
1862
,
that
the
Britannia
,
disabled
by
a
six
days
'
storm
,
struck
against
the
rocks
of
Maria
Theresa
.
The
sea
was
mountains
high
,
and
lifeboats
were
useless
.
My
unfortunate
crew
all
perished
,
except
Bob
Learce
and
Joe
Bell
,
who
with
myself
managed
to
reach
shore
after
twenty
unsuccessful
attempts
.
"
The
land
which
received
us
was
only
an
uninhabited
island
,
two
miles
broad
and
five
long
,
with
about
thirty
trees
in
the
interior
,
a
few
meadows
,
and
a
brook
of
fresh
water
,
which
fortunately
never
dried
up
.
Alone
with
my
sailors
,
in
this
corner
of
the
globe
,
I
did
not
despair
.
I
put
my
trust
in
God
,
and
accustomed
myself
to
struggle
resolutely
for
existence
.
Bob
and
Joe
,
my
brave
companions
in
misfortune
,
my
friends
,
seconded
me
energetically
.
"
We
began
like
the
fictitious
Robinson
Crusoe
of
Defoe
,
our
model
,
by
collecting
the
planks
of
the
ship
,
the
tools
,
a
little
powder
,
and
firearms
,
and
a
bag
of
precious
seeds
.
The
first
few
days
were
painful
enough
,
but
hunting
and
fishing
soon
afforded
us
a
sure
supply
of
food
,
for
wild
goats
were
in
abundance
in
the
interior
of
the
island
,
and
marine
animals
abounded
on
the
coast
.
By
degrees
we
fell
into
regular
ways
and
habits
of
life
.
"
I
had
saved
my
instruments
from
the
wreck
,
and
knew
exactly
the
position
of
the
island
.
I
found
we
were
out
of
the
route
of
vessels
,
and
could
not
be
rescued
unless
by
some
providential
chance
.
I
accepted
our
trying
lot
composedly
,
always
thinking
,
however
,
of
my
dear
ones
,
remembering
them
every
day
in
my
prayers
,
though
never
hoping
to
see
them
again
.
"
However
,
we
toiled
on
resolutely
,
and
before
long
several
acres
of
land
were
sown
with
the
seed
off
the
Britannia
;
potatoes
,
endive
,
sorrel
,
and
other
vegetables
besides
,
gave
wholesome
variety
to
our
daily
fare
.
We
caught
some
young
kids
,
which
soon
grew
quite
tame
.
We
had
milk
and
butter
.
The
nardou
,
which
grew
abundantly
in
dried
up
creeks
,
supplied
us
with
tolerably
substantial
bread
,
and
we
had
no
longer
any
fears
for
our
material
life
.
"
We
had
built
a
log
hut
with
the
DEBRIS
of
the
Britannia
,
and
this
was
covered
over
with
sail
cloth
,
carefully
tarred
over
,
and
beneath
this
secure
shelter
the
rainy
season
passed
comfortably
.
Many
a
plan
was
discussed
here
,
and
many
a
dream
indulged
in
,
the
brightest
of
which
is
this
day
realized
.
"
I
had
at
first
the
idea
of
trying
to
brave
the
perils
of
the
ocean
in
a
canoe
made
out
of
the
spars
of
the
ship
,
but
1,500
miles
lay
between
us
and
the
nearest
coast
,
that
is
to
say
the
islands
of
the
Archipelago
of
Pomotou
.
No
boat
could
have
stood
so
long
a
voyage
.
I
therefore
relinquished
my
scheme
,
and
looked
for
no
deliverance
except
from
a
divine
hand
.
"
Ah
,
my
poor
children
!
how
often
we
have
stood
on
the
top
of
the
rocks
and
watched
the
few
vessels
passing
in
the
distance
far
out
at
sea
.
During
the
whole
period
of
our
exile
only
two
or
three
vessels
appeared
on
the
horizon
,
and
those
only
to
disappear
again
immediately
.
Two
years
and
a
half
were
spent
in
this
manner
.
We
gave
up
hoping
,
but
yet
did
not
despair
.
At
last
,
early
yesterday
morning
,
when
I
was
standing
on
the
highest
peak
of
the
island
,
I
noticed
a
light
smoke
rising
in
the
west
.
It
increased
,
and
soon
a
ship
appeared
in
sight
.
It
seemed
to
be
coming
toward
us
.
But
would
it
not
rather
steer
clear
of
an
island
where
there
was
no
harbor
.
