The melancholly narrative of the distressful voyage, and miraculous deliverance of Captain David Harrison, of the sloop, peggy Of new-york, on his voyage from Fyal, one of the western islands, to New-York. Who having lost all his sails in a long series of hard weather, and entirely exhausted his provisions, lived two and forty days, without receiving the least food, till he was happily relieved by the humanity of Capt. Evers, of the susanna, in the Virgina trade.- In this narrative the expedients which Capt. Harrison and his men made use of for their subsistence are particulary set forth, who twice cast lots for their lives, and were to have killed the second man on the very morning they were providentially taken up.- The whole being authenticated in the strongest manner, by repeated depositions. Before the Right Hon. George Nelson, Esq. lord-mayor of the city of London.
