In 1812 the British ship ''Isabella'', captained by George Higton , is shipwrecked off Eagle Island (part of the Falkland Islands ). Most of the crew are rescued by the American Sealer ''Nanina'', commanded by Captain Charles Barnard. However, realising that they would require more provisions for the expanded number of passengers, Barnard and a few others went out in a party to retrieve more food. During his absence the ''Nanina'' was taken over by the British crew and left them on the island. Barnard and his party were finally rescued in November of 1814 . In 1829 Barnard wrote ''A Narrative of the Sufferings and Adventures of Capt. Charles Barnard'' detailing the happenings. REFERENCES
