SHIPWRECK AND SUFFERINGS

OF

Mrs. ELIZA BRADLEY.

I WAS born in Liverpool (Eng.) ⚫ of creditable ⚫ parents, in the year 1783—in the year 1802, at the age of 19, I was married to Capt. JAMES BRADLEY, my present husband. Who, having been bred to the seas, was possessed of no other means of support, and knew no other way to obtain a livelihood; hence, my endeavors, after our marriage, to induce him to pursue some other occupation, attended with less dangers, proved unfortunately ineffectual. In May 1818, my husband was appointed to the command of the ship Sally, bound from Liverpool to Teneriffe ⚫: and I having expressed a wish to accompany him on a former voyage to Madeira ⚫, he insisted on my accompanying him this.—
