Report of Marooning

(1. Captain Name) Captain Dampier Marooned (2. Castaway) Samuel Huxford at St. Jago (now (3. City Name) Sao Tiago) in the (4. Island Name) Cape Verde Islands where he died three months later 'partly with hunger'. Dampier, while commander of the (5. Ship Name) Roebuck, had also marooned his First Lieutenant.

"Mr Huxford begg'd of him not to be so barbarous as to turn him Ashore amongst a parcel of Banditties and Negro's ; but desired him to let him lye in the Long-boat ; or he would be contented to go before the Mast, rather than go ashore amongst a Parcel of Heathens."
