The hardships he endur'd for above 20 days, 'till he arriv'd at the island of St. Nicholas, from whence he was blown off to sea (before he could get any sustenance) without his boat and biggest boy, whom he had sent ashore; and after four days of difficulty and distress, was shipwreck'd on the unfrequented island of St. John, where, after he had remained near two years, he built a vessel to bring himself off. With a particular and curious description and draught of the Cape de Verd islands; their roads, anchoring places, nature and production of the soils; the kindness and hospitality of the natives to strangers, their religion, manners, customs, and superstitions, &c. Together with observations on the minerals, mineral waters, metals, and salts, and of the nitre with which some of these islands abound.
