This was the ship Cabot, of New York,
Captain Low. She was bound to Manilla, from across the Pacific, and
George did seaman's duty in her until her arrival in Manilla, when
he left her, and shipped in a brig bound to the Sandwich Islands. From
Oahu, he came, in the British brig Clementine, to Monterey, as
second officer, where, having some difficulty with the captain, he
left her, and coming down the coast, joined us at San Pedro. Nearly
six months after this, among some papers we received by an arrival
from Boston, we found a letter from Captain Low, of the Cabot,
published immediately upon his arrival at New York, and giving all the
particulars just as we had them from George. The letter was
published for the information of the friends of George, and Captain
Low added, that he left him at Manilla to go to Oahu, and he had heard
nothing of him since.
George had an interesting journal of his adventures in the Pelew
Islands, which he had written out at length, in a handsome hand, and
in correct English.
