W Bradley

""The Wreck of the Nisero and Our Captivity in Sumatra"" is a historical account written by W. Bradley in 1884. The book details the harrowing experience of the crew of the Nisero, a British merchant ship that was wrecked off the coast of Sumatra in 1863. The survivors were taken captive by the natives of the island and held prisoner for several months. Bradley's narrative provides a vivid description of the crew's ordeal, including their struggles to survive on the island, their encounters with the local people, and their eventual rescue by a British naval vessel. The book also delves into the cultural and political landscape of Sumatra at the time, shedding light on the complex relationships between the native tribes and the European colonizers. Overall, ""The Wreck of the Nisero and Our Captivity in Sumatra"" is a gripping tale of survival and adventure, offering readers a fascinating glimpse into a little-known corner of the world during a tumultuous period in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
