The Narrative of Captain David Woodard and Four Seamen, Who … Surrendered Themselves Up to the Malays, in the Island of Celebes [&c. Ed. by W. Vaughan]

This true story of survival on the high seas is a thrilling and harrowing tale of adventure and endurance. When Captain David Woodard and his crew of four were shipwrecked near the island of Celebes, they found themselves at the mercy of a group of hostile Malays. What follows is a breathtaking account of the crew's escape from captivity, their struggles to find food and shelter on a deserted island, and their eventual rescue by a passing British ship. Written in vivid and compelling prose, this book is a testament to the indomitability of the human spirit.
