-island, and hearing his name was Lucas, he had made
bold to apply to him for his assistance, as he was very well acquainted
with his brother, Mr. Lucas, of Brampton. Mr. Lucas asked him, if he
could tell him whom his brother married; he replied, Mrs. Mary Tristam.
Do you know Huntsham? Yes, replied he, and Mr. Beer, who first courted
Mrs. Tristam. And how many children has my brother? To this likewise
Mr. Carew answered very exactly; and Mr. Lucas, being convinced by this
of his being no imposter, bid him come in, telling him, he expected his
youngest brother there in three weeks time. He was entertained here very
generously, and at his departure Mr. Lucas gave him two guineas.

From thence he went through Seabrake and Seaford to New London, which is
situated on a river called the Thames. The first branch of which river
goes by the name of Glass river, the next branch by that of Russel's
Delight, and the third by that of Indian river. There is a small river
which falls into the sea at Manchester. The trade of ship building
flourishes here. He now inquired if there were none of the name of Davy

he told them that Sir John Davy was dead, and his eldest son also, who
had left two sons; that the youngest brother, Humphrey Davy, was then
living at Creedy-house, and the little boys somewhere about Exeter. Then
they gave him two letters to give to Mr. Humphrey Davy; after which, each
gave him a guinea, with recommendations to one Justice Miller and Captain
Rogers, who was bound for England. Justice Miller received him very
kindly, with whom he agreed to take a run to England for ten gallons of
rum, ten pounds of sugar, ten pounds of tobacco, and ten pipes.

Captain Rogers having taken in his lading, which consisted of rice,
tobacco, and pipe staves, set sail with a fair wind from New London, and
run to Lundy in a month and three days. Nothing happened material on
their voyage, and the sailors passed this time very joyfully, having so
favourable a gale; but our hero, who knew that fortune, like a common
jilt, often puts on the fairest smiles when she is about to discard you,
thought it prudent to provide against her slippery tricks as
