"The crew and passengers of the above ship fell into the hands of the Arabs, a few days after their shipwreck, among whom unfortunately was Mrs. Bradley, who after enduring incredible hardships during six months captivity (five of which she was separated from her husband and every other civilized being) she was fortunately redeemed out of the hands of the unmerciful barbarians by Mr. Willshire, the British Consul resident at Mogadore."

"The narrative of the captivity and sufferings of the unfortunate Mrs. Bradley, is allowed by all those who have perused it to be the most affecting that ever appeared in print-- yet, by the blessings of God, this amiable woman endured deprivation and hardship with incredible fortitude-- in a barbarous land, she became a convert to the religion of a blessed Redeemer.
