XXVIII,378,(8) pp. Edition in 8vo published in the same year as the 4to edition; with armorial bookplate of colonel Cooper. - In 1783 the East India Packet Antelope under command of Henry Wilson, ran onto a reef near one of the Palau Islands, a previously unexplored group, and was wrecked. The crew reached shore and were well treated by the natives. From the wreck they built a small boat which they managed to get to Macao, taking with them Prince Lee Boo, the son of king Abba Thule. Lee Boo soon died of smallpox in England. Captain Wilson allowed Keate (1729-97) to write a faithful account of the events from Wilson's journals and communications.

Includes a vocabulary of the Pelew language. - A fine copy of the rare Dublin edition.Hill 907; Huntress 107C; Cox II, 302-303; Howgego p.1105. [Boeknr.: 21857 ]

Le Papin was one of the vessels destined to form the French squadron on the coast of Africa for the suppression of the slave trade, and was on her way to Senegal, intending to call at Mogador. 'I have this moment heard from the office of the British consul of the total wreck on the coast, between Azmoor and Mazagan, of another French man of war steamer, of 650 tons burden, and 140 horse power. The details are very shocking, and the number of lives lost are 77, including the captain and all the officers. with the exception of one midshipman. The newly appointed French consul to Mogador is numbered among the victims. Exactly one half of those on board the unfortunate vessel were drowned, the other half were saved under circumstances which reflect the highest credit on the British and French consul at Mazagan. Mr. Redman, for it was to his prompt arrival at the spot, and his energetic persuasion of the Moors to assist him, that the survivors owe their lives' (Shipping Gazette). [Boeknr.: 33254 ]

SHIPWRECK OF THE ADDER. VERSLAG aan den koning van het onderzoek naar de vermoedelijke oorzaken waaraan de zeeramp van ZR.MS. Rammonitor 'Adder' moet worden toegeschreven. Uitgebragt door de commissie, benoemd bij 's konings besluit van 21 Julij 1882. 's Gravenhage, Algemeene Landsdrukkerij, 1882.Large 8vo. Original printed boards. With folding plate depicting the Adder and folding plate depicting the probable location of the wreck. II,181 pp. The Adder was a Dutch ram monitor who sank on the North Sea off the coast of Scheveningen on Wednesday evening 5 July 1882. All 66 people on board were killed. The wreck was never recovered.There was a lot of criticism because it was delayed until Saturday before sending a ship to locate the Adder, while the monitor was expected to be in Hellevoetsluis on Wednesday afternoon. This exceptionally slow course of action on the part of the Navy Department has been heavily criticized. A monitor was a relatively small warship which was neither fast nor strongly armored but carried disproportionately large guns. They were designed for shallow waters and served as coastal ships and used by some navies from the 1860s.Added 11 newspaper clippings from 1882-1883 on the shipwreck, including 1 of the Bataviaasch Handelsblad.Cat.

Eene waare geschiedenis. Door hem zelven beschreeven. Gesterkt met een certificaat van dan heer Sevettenham, commandant van het Engelsch fort St. Marc des Apalaches. Amsterdam, Petrus Conradi, 1771.20th century cloth. Woodcut vignette on titel-page. 132 pp. Dutch translation of: Naufrage et aventures de Pierre Viaud, natif de Bordeaux, capitaine de navire, histoire véritable. Bordeaux 1768. - This book tells the extraordinary story of a French seaman who sailed from Bordeaux in February 1765 as mate in the Aimable Suzette, Captain St. Crie, bound for the West Indies. Forced by illness to remain on the small island of St. Louis, off the coast of Saint-Domingue (Haiti), Viaud enters into a partnership with a Haitian resident, monsieur Desclau, to trade goods to Louisiana. They hire a vessel, the Tigre, Captain La Couture, and sail with sixteen passengers and crew on 2 January 1766. During the voyage the ship springs a leak, and on 16 February 1766 runs aground and breaks up on an island off the coast of Florida. Viaud's account of his adventures somehow fell into the hands of the French scholar Jean Gaspard Dubois-Fontanelle who published it at Bordeaux in 1768. Exacly how much is the work of Fontanelle himself is uncertain, but it was an instant bestseller and became one of the most reprinted and translated works of the 18th century. After many years of debate and indecision, the basic framework (at least) of Viaud's account is now regarded as truthful (Howgego V, p.474-474). 'Probably the story of cannibalism accounted for the popularity of this narrative' (Huntress 80C). - Viaud's story became a bestseller in Europe and is still important for its early description of Florida.Not in Tiele or Cat.
