		HMS Sirius was about 500t and had 20 five pound guns; the post captain was Captain Hunter.
		This is a sad story for us to read today but both Collins and Hacking were men of their times, and perhaps Henry felt he was (or indeed perhaps he really was) in mortal danger.
		His account was, that, being in the woods, a stone was thrown at him from one of two natives whom he perceived behind him, and that on looking about he found dispersed amoung the trees a number that could not be less than forty.
