At Stanford-le-Hope, in Essex, aged 46, Mr. George Evans. He was on-board the unfortunate Grosvenor East-Indiaman, when she was wrecked on the coast of Caffraria, on the 4th of August 1782; and was one of the few who, after experiencing, during a journey of 117 days across the deserts of that inhospitable country, unparalleled hardships, arrived at their native country. He is supposed to have survived that catastrophe the longest of any that of those dreadful sufferers. He was the first man who humanely volunteered to go back as guide to the detachment sent by the Governor of the Cape to endeavour to discover any other of the unfortunate sufferers who might continue wandering about in that desolate country. |
