In 1783, the East India Company packet, the Antelope was wrecked in the Pelew Islands (now Pelau or Belau in the western Carolines, in Micronesia). Captain Henry Wilson and his crew developed unusually amicable relations with the Palauan inhabitants and participated in expeditions against their enemies. They were able to recover a great deal from the wreck and to build a new vessel, with which they sailed to Macau after a stay of just over three months. They took with them Lee Boo, who became a figure of fashionable interest in London. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Minor quibbles aside, I'm glad that this edition was published, and recommend Keate's book to anyone with an interest in late 18th-century travel narratives. ( )
