The Narrative of Walter Hartright

Early in the summer of 1850 I and my surviving companions left the wilds and forests of Central America for home. Arrived at the coast, we took ship there for England. The vessel was wrecked in the Gulf of Mexico⁠—I was among the few saved from the sea. It was my third escape from peril of death. Death by disease, death by the Indians, death by drowning⁠—all three had approached me; all three had passed me by.
