24mo, 14.5cm, the ater (and scarce) American edition, 68p., in the original blind decorated cloth, two small punctures on the spine, faint damp stain on the top of the first three leaves, a very good sound copy (ds1). ~ Huntress 22.7c. The Kent was sailing from the Downs for Bengal and China, carrying officers, soldiers, crewmen, women and children, and other private passengers. It caught fire during a storm in the Bay of Biscay; eighty-one of those on board perished; the others were rescued by other ships in the area, including the timely arrival of Captain Cook on the Cambri. The author was a member of the Thirty-First Regiment, which was aboard ship.
