About this book

On 19 February the East Indiaman Kent sailed from the Downs for Bengal and China with 641 people aboard, among them soldiers of the 31st regiment with their wives and children. Sir Duncan MacGregor, who sailed in her, tells what followed in a letter to a friend, beginning with the gale that struck in the Bay of Biscay at the end of the month. The ship was lost there by fire in 1825. A note added when he was in his 94th year sees Providence at work in the events.
