Paperback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Narrative of Captain James Fawckner's Travels on the Coast of Benin, West Africa The Narrative commences from the 28th of June, 1825, (the period of my leaving Bad agry, ) but it will be necessary perhaps to inform the reader, that for some time previous to this I had-been engaged on the coast of Africa. I therefore subjoin a brief account of what transpired from the period of my leaving England up to the time of the commencement of the Narrative, the loss of the ship, &c. After leaving England, the vessel I had the command of, the Nymph, was frozen up in Amsterdam for three months; at length we sailed with a cargo of general goods for the Cape of Good Hope.
