Gracious God, grant that we may be at length blessed by your return I but, alas ! the Pandora's people have been long expected, and are not even yet arrived. Should any accident have happened, after all the miseries you have already sufi'ered, the poor gleam of hope with which we have been lately indulged, will render our situation ten thousand times more in- supportable than if time had inured us to your loss. I send this to the care of Mr. Hayward, of Hackney, father to the young gentleman yo...u so often mention in your letters while you were on board the Bounty, and who went out as third lieu- tenant of the Pandora — a circumstance which gave us infinite satisfaction, as you would, on entering the Pandora, meet your old friend. On discover- ing old Mr. Hayward's residence, I wrote to liim, as I hoped he could give me some information respecting the time of your arrival, and in return he sent me a most friendly letter, and has promised Chap. IV. ] THE OPEN-BOAT NAVIGATION-. 135 tliis shall be given to you when you reach Eng- land, as I well know how great must be your anxiety to hear of us, and how^ much satisfaction it will give you to have a letter immediately on your return.
