Sufferings in Africa, by Captain James Riley

[nokom]

Anyone read it? Its an amazing book. Just have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Riley_(Captain) that explains it all pretty well. Its quite a powerful book. Its quite old also.

sorry nokom -i don't have the time for the link - could you perhaps gives us a strap line or brief summary of the content in less than say, 3 or 4 lines or so, as a taster?

Best, BB

I should I suppose. I am a lazy one Anyway, it was wrote in 1817 (old eh?) Well. His ship wrecks in Africa and he is taken as a slave. They are all treated badly. Well long story short, Seti Hamet, comes to their camp and buys them. Hes a real nice guy Anyway, they all go 900 miles without any food surviving on what they find. Well, I won't spoil the ending. It is a true story written as it happened, so the thing sounds quite disperate.
