An Authentic Narrative of the Shipwreck and Sufferings of Mrs. Eliza Bradley, the Wife of Captain James Bradley of Liverpool, Commander of the Ship Sally Which was Wrecked on the Coast of Barbary, in June, 1818.

Fairfield, Washington: Ye Galleon press, 1985. An exciting, early, and popular work, by a strong and courageous woman. Mrs. Bradley, along with her husband and his crew, were captured by desert Arabs after a shipwreck off Morocco. She endured six months of captivity and was ultimately ransomed by the British Consul. Unfortunately, according to Huntress, "This narrative is almost certainly spurious, another in the succession "Captivity and Sufferings of Mrs. Mary Velnet" and "Captivity and Sufferings of Maria Martin" having been extracted "directly" from Riley's narrative, "Sufferings in Africa." Nonetheless, Mrs. Bradley's book has wormed its way into the imaginations of generations and is now a part of shipwreck literature. See Huntress 202C. Bound in brown boards with gilt lettering. Fine condition. . 22.5 cm. 99 pp. Duotone frontispiece and illustrations.
