The vessel, set sail from Jamaica in 1696, the ship was wrecked in a storm off the east coast of Florida, landing near Jupiter Island, about 20 miles north of present day West Palm Beach. The party after getting safely ashore, was seized by Indians, and stripped of their clothing and other possessions. The Indians made no effort to kill or enslave them, but let them proceed some 200 miles to St. Augustine, where they were befriended by the Spaniards, who then sent them on their way to Charleston, and eventually to Philadelphia. One of the most popular of 18th century captivity narratives.
