During the voyage from Coupang to Batavia Edwards narrowly escaped a second shipwreck. The _Rembang_ was dismasted on a lee shore in a cyclone, and, but for the exertions of the English seamen, would assuredly have been stranded, the Dutch sailors, who, says the facetious Hamilton, "would fight the devil should he appear to them in any other shape but that of thunder and lightning," having taken to their hammocks. At Samarang, as already related, Edwards found the tender, which he had long given up for lost, and the price she fetched enabled the crew to purchase decent clothing. Heywood afterwards asserted that no clothing was given to the prisoners but what they could earn by plaiting and selling straw hats. They were miserably housed, when on board the _Rembang_, and kept in rigid confinement both at Batavia, and on the _Vreedemberg_, in which they made the voyage to the Cape. At Batavia Edwards divided his men among three Dutch vessels homeward bound, but at the Cape he removed his own contingent into H.M.S. _Gorgon_, and arrived at Spithead on June 18th, 1792. Two days later the ten mutineers were transferred to H.M.S. _Hector_, Captain Montague, and the convicts were sent to Newgate. The court martial, which did not assemble until September 12th, lasted five days, with the result that Norman, Coleman, Mackintosh and Byrne were acquitted, and Heywood, Morrison, Ellison, Burkitt, Millward and Muspratt were condemned to death, the two first being recommended to mercy. On October 24th Heywood and Morrison received the King's pardon, and both re-entered the Navy, Heywood to retire in 1816, when nearly at the head of the list of captains; Morrison to go down in the ill-fated _Blenheim_ in which he was serving as gunner. Muspratt also was pardoned, but the three others were hanged on board the _Brunswick_ in Portsmouth Harbour on October 29th, 1792. Thus ended a voyage that, for adventure and discovery, deserves a high place in the history of maritime enterprise in the Pacific. Voyages take their rank from the scientific attainments and literary ability of the men who record them, and the _Pandora_, unlucky in her fate as in her ill-omened name, was scarcely less unfortunate in her historian. B. T. FOOTNOTES: [10-1] Mr. Louis Becke, "The Mutineers." [24-1] The _Gorgon_ also carried Lieut. Clark, of the Royal Marines, whose journal of the voyage to Botany Bay and Norfolk Island in 1789 throws a very interesting light upon the early days of the colony. Unfortunately the journal says very little of the _Gorgon's_ voyage home. CAPTAIN EDWARDS' REPORTS. "_Pandora_ in Sta Cruz Bay, Teneriff, 25th November, 1790. [R 28 Dec. and Read.] SIR,
