The _Childe Harold_ was fallen in with by a large heavily armed Portuguese man-of-war, thirty leagues west of the island of Tristan d’Acunha. She had been wrecked aloft in a gale; the convicts were in terrible distress, they were short of water, they had wantonly wasted the ship’s stock of provisions. The commander of the Portuguese ship perceiving the vessel’s character sent a number of armed men on board, and then, strangely enough, towed her for a supply of fresh water to Tristan d’Acunha, where both ships arrived three weeks after the departure of the _Old Stormy_ from that island. The transport was then conveyed to Table Bay, refitted, placed in charge of a new captain and officers along with a strong crew, and despatched on her voyage to Hobart Town, where she safely arrived. How the ringleaders were punished has not been ascertained. The long-boat, containing Captain Sutherland, Captain Barrett, the soldiers, women and children, was fallen in within seven or eight degrees north latitude, and the people, who were all in good health in spite of great sufferings from exposure--one death only, a child, having happened--were carried round the Horn before there occurred an opportunity to tranship and send them home. But the quarter-boats in which the seamen had been sent adrift were never accounted for. This, then, is the true sequel of the extraordinary adventures of the remarkable young woman who has been styled in this narrative of her experiences Marian Johnstone.
