ABSTRACT
Mr Bradford, on his arrival, immediately hastened to London, and from thence wrote to my uncle, my father’s elder brother, who in consequence of the late calamity was become my natural guardian, to ask his directions how he was to dispose of me. The answer he received expressed my uncle’s wish that I should be brought to him without delay, and added a request that my preserver would have the goodness to accompany me. These directions were no sooner known, than they were carried into execution; and, at the end of the second day from our leaving London, we reached / in safety the place of our destination, which lay immediately on the verge of the sea, on the shores of the English channel.
