A
sketch
of
my
travels
since
I
left
my
Uncle
Anthony
-
my
cause
for
doing
so
I
had
better
keep
it
for
quietness,
but
I
had
very
good
reason
to
my
thinking…..
I
resolved
to
face
the
world
for
a
better
place,
but
a
worse
I
knew
I
could
not
meet with.
On
Sunday
30th
April
(1826)
I
went
out
for
a
walk,
and
returning
about
9
o’clock
and
finding
the
door
locked
I
came
away
and
resolved
to
leave
Whittle
in
Lancashire
I
went
to
Preston
in
the
same
County
it
was
about
11
o’clock.
I
got
into
a
stable
for
the
purpose
of
taking
rest.
The
kind
farmer
gave
me
a
good
supper
and
told
me
I
should
not
fear,
I
would
take
no
harm.
I
laid
me
down
and
covered
me
with
three
or
four
bundles
of
straw.
Next
morning,
1st
May
1826
I
left
the
farmhouse
and
through
the
day
I
look
around
me
in
Preston.
About
1
o’clock
I
left
Preston
and
got
on
the
Lancaster
Road
for
Lancaster.
I
laid
me
down
about
11
o’clock
in
a
barn
between
Preston
and
Lancaster.
In
fear
of
the
farmer
hearing
me,
I
got
out
about
2
o’clock
the
next
morning
the
2nd
of
May
and
meeting
with
a
friend
who
gave
me
a
part
of
his
breakfast
I
told
him
that
I
was
looking
for
work.
He
took
me
to
a
publick
house
in
Lancaster
and
gave
me
a
part
with
him.
I
then
went
through
Lancaster
and
between
Lancaster
and
Skipton I slept all night in a haystack.
On
the
3rd
of
May
in
Leeds
I
went
in
a
field
a
slept
about
3
hours
on
my
way
to
a
smalll
village.
I
slept
at
the
side
of
some
brick
hills
in
Seacroft
all
night.
I
stopped
there
all
Sunday
the
4th
June
1826
and
on
the
5th
June
went
to
York
through
Tadcaster
and
in
a
barn
outside
of
York
I
slept
on
a
stool.
I
suppose
it
was
the
milk
stool.
On
the
morning
of
the
6th I came to York again and thinking to enlist.
I
went
to
a
soldier
of
the
2nd
Queens.
He
told
me
I
was
too
low.
Then
I
came
away
not
knowing
what
to
be
at.
I
tried
to
get
work
but
could
not
get
any.
I
then
came
out
of
York
and
on
my
way
back
to
Leeds
I
thought
I
had
better
enlist.
I
got
into
Leeds
about
5
o’clock
and
meeting
with
a
traveller
he
told
me
he
would
find
a
man
who
would
enlist
me,
so
I
went
with
him
about
7
o’clock.
I
was
enlisted
to
the
60th
Rifles
and
not
being
tall
enough
I
was
the
next
day
the
7th
June
handed
over
to
Sergeant
Clough
for
the
35th
Regiment.
I
was
then
inspected
by
the
Medical
gentleman
or
Surgeon
at
Horse
Bks.
Iwas
attested
th
same
evening
at
6pm
for
the
35th
Regiment.
I
then
being
a
soldier
I
got
a
billet

The

of
the

then
relieved by the 28th Depot and whent to Forton Barracks.
I
stopt
there
under
orders
for
the
West
indies
on
the
2nd
Decr 1826. Embarkes aboard the Marshall Bennett for to Spit
Head
we
remained
at
Spit
Head
until
the
15th
on
account
of
the
wind
being
so
much
against
us
when
on
the
15th
it
blew
fair
for
us
and
we
set
sail.
We
saw
Madeira
about
the
9th
day
or
26th
December,
where
we
was
becalmed.
For
three
days
we
sailed
then,
without
metting
anything
particular
unitl
the
17th
January
1827
and
about
midday
hearing
a
gun
fire
thought
we
was
going
to
be
attacked
with
a
pirot.
Our
captain
orderd
all
the
men
to
be
armed
ready
in
number
about
180
men,
80
and
20
men
belonging
to
the
35th
and
80
men
belonging
to
the
27th
and
20
men
belonging
to
the
60th
Rifles,
but
unfortunately
it
turned
out
to
be
a
Franch
brig
that
was
sinking,
2
or
3
of
their
hands
had
taken
the
jolly
boat
to
sea
and
left
the
others
inside
her,
which
of
course
would
soon
have
sunk
in
the
deep.
Our
Captain
aild
hear
and
hearing
what
she
was
the
first
mate
and
about
six
other
sailors
went
on
board
her,
among
those
six
were
the
carpenter
was
one.
Our
captain
of
course
came
back
to
his
own
vessel,
the
Marshall
Bennett,
and
laid
to
all
night.
Her
crew,
all
of
them
came
on
board
and
left
the
vessel
to
the
first
mate
and
six
men.
However
next
morning
there
was
a
little
hope.
They
had
got
the
water
cleared
off
the
deck.
Next
day,
I
believe
there
was
only
two
foot
of
water
between
the
decks.
Our
Captain,
considering
her
then
safe,
told
the
firstmate
to
steer
for
St
Vincent,
he
said
he
would
steer
for
Barbadoes.
We
then
parted
and
arrived
in
Barbadoes
harbour
or
Carlish
Bay
in
West
Indies
on
Saturday
27th
January
1827.
We
laid
in Barbadoes Harbour unitl 23rd January.
The 60th Rifles went on shore in Barbadoes, but no other, on
the 23rd at 8pm.
Sailed for St Lucia on the 24th.
Early on the morning of the 25th passed close by Pigeon Island
Anchored in St. Lucia Harbour at half past ten a.m. 25th
January 1827, and disembarked in the afternoon at 3pm, the
same day.
I
was
then
attached
to
the
Light
Infantry
Company
a
week,
and
then
put
to
No.3
(company)
-
had
been
broken
up
before
the
arrival
of
this
detachment
and
of
course
the
company
was
formed
again.
The
whole
of
this
80
troops
was
confined
to
Barracks
for
two
years.
At
first,
during
my
first
year
in
the
West
Indies
I
did
not
know
of
anythink
worth
notice
occurred.
It
was
a
very
sickly
season
and
I
suppose
about
20
of
the
80
men
soon
became
no
more
in
the
world.
Thank
god
I
never
had
any
sickness
worth
notice
up
to
my
first
Christmas
Day
in
St
Lucia
and
on
the
25th
December
1827
I
was
cook
for
my
second
and
last
time
in
No.3
Compy
previous
to
my
promotion
commencing

1828.
I
was
apppinted
to
Lance
Corporal
in
No.3
Company
and
this
being
the
first
step
of
promotion,
I
endeavoured
to
keep
it.
There
was
four
more

the
same
time,
viz:
Bootheroyd,
J.
Sweeden
and
W.
Sweeden,
Renshaw,
of
these
the

is
the
only
one
that

This

since
been
reduced
from

After
doing

until
the
12th
April1928
at
St.

I
was
appointed

I
was
orderd to Pigeon Island on the 12th to relieve Sgt. Naylor

was
now

to
the
Grenadiers

act
as
Sergt.
I
was

I

I
was
made

1828,
and
on
the
2nd
October
1828
sent
to
St.
Lucia
to
do
duty
as
before
with
my
Company.
In
this
year
there
was
a
gret
scarsity
of
water.
The
military
labourer
was
ordered
to
fetch
water
about
three
miles
from
the
barracks
for
the
troops,
but
nothing
particular
happened
in
my
time
in
St.

I
was
appointed
Sergeant

No,2
Company

On

Our

The
Sergts
of
the
27th
gave
a

I
think
both

the
best
compys
that
I
ever met with in the Army.
On 29th June a pass to Bridgetown.
On the 1st July a letter from my sister dated 29th.
On

King’s
House
Guard
I
saw
the
flagstaff
hoisted
up
by
the
military
labourers.
It
is
about
30
feet
high
and
just
opposite the King’s House. It is attended by two of the Artillery.
The

read

on
the

for
Portsmouth
England.
Received
a
letter
from
John
Greenhalgh
of
the
First
Royal
Regiment
of
Trinidad
on
the
18th August 1830.
On
the
1st
October
appointed
hospital
Sergent
in
place
of
Sgt
Rice
who
took
my
company
duty
but
had
very
little
charge
of
the
hospital,
AST
Murry
had
all
the
charge
and
everything
himself.
Of course I had very little to do with anything at that time.
On
the
9th
of
December
I
began
courting
with
a
servant
of
the
Commanding
Officer’s
Lady,
and
asked
leaf
to
marry
on
the
24th
January
1831.
I
was
married
on
the
5th
May
in
my
own
room
or
quarters
at
the
Hospital.
Her
maiden
name
was
Jane
Brown a native of Whitby in Yorkshire, England.
On
the
11th
of
August
a
dreadful
hurricane
came
on
about
2am
and
the
wind
blew
so
strong
as
all
the
hospital
fell
in.
Also
every
house
that
stood
on
the
Island
was
either
unroofed
or
totally
blown
to
the
ground.
I
suppose
the
soldiers’
barracks
was
about
the
strongest
buildings
on
the
island,
except
the
King’s
House
and
these
were
all
blown
down.
The
houses
of
the
town
principally
consisted
of
wood
-
of
course
these
were
soon
blown
away,
but
I
do
not
kbnow
that
it
was
so
safe
in
a
brick
house,
for
it
even
blew
the
trees
of
the
island
up
by
the
roots.
For
instance,
about
five
large
Tamrin
trees
were
blown
down
in
the
Hospital
yard.
A
good
many
of
the
men
escaped
under
them.
The
Regiment
on
the
11th
August
1831
pitched
large
tents
and
stoped
in
them

the
