Description: Bristol. Printsetters. 1994. First Edition. Octavo. Softcover. Very Good. Good. 193 pages, text in English. Pictures in black and white. This book covers the voyages of a tiny schooner specially built for St Helena in 1814. She was too small from the start, and the wrong shape for the South Atlantic, but nevertheless had many adventures during the 15 years she served the island - travelling to the cape, the west coast of Africa and even to Rio de Janeiro. She brought live animals to feed the troops during and after Napoleon's captivity.
