The vessel was wrecked io St Helena Bay, on tba west cssat of Africa, aod all but nine of tbe crew lost. Tbe remainder ;made tbeir way to Cape Town, where the ex-soldier common ced a prolonged debauch. Be was finally arrested, imprisoned, and at last hired by tbe authorities lo a Dutch farmer, by whom in company with several Hottentots, he waa employed iu tending cattle.

After almost incredible suffering, he rp ached tbe coast aod put to sea io aa epei boat, intending to reach the main land. Be was picked up by a vessel bound for Cape Town and carried back.
