Affecting narrative of the sufferings of six soldiers : who deserted from the garrison of St. Helena, in an open boat, with only a small quantity of bread and water. After being driven about at sea, for near a month, they were forced, by dreadful sufferings & hunger to draw lots which of them should kill himself to preserve the rest from starving. And they were forced to eat human flesh.
