Strona 267 - Seringapatam into the minister's budget : here, however, being nearly smothered, he made a violent effort ; and before we could turn about to assist him, he was up to his neck in tar-water. He was twice, after this, in danger of being lost in the Southern Ocean ; but an African slave-vessel took him up each time, and landed him, some how or other, at Nootka Sound.
