A Biscuit With A History At London's Missionary Voyage

Captain James Wilson, a former boy who led the Advertiser to conversion, steered the Duff to Cape Har before a gale battered it.

The tale was published after Mr T Chapman paid £2000 to the London Missionary Society for the copyright and gave a portrait of the ship and crew.
