NORTH WEST COAST OF AMERICA, ' 359 



ON-the Belvidere's arrival in England, they brought an ^ ^^^ p* 

 Sidiion againft their captain in the court of Common Pleas, ' — ?f~-^ 

 which was tried on the 15th December 1788, before Lord December. 

 Loughborough and a fpecial jury, when a verditS: was given 

 in favour of captain Greer. 



Berry had been an old offender in the navy and 

 on board the Granby Eaft Indiaman, captain Johnfon, 



1777. 



SOON after my arrival at Canton I took an opportunity 

 of paying a vilit to Mr, Cox, an Englifh gentleman refi- 

 dent there ; and I was much furprifed to fee my old friend 

 Tyaana, whom the reader may recollect I met with at 

 Atoui, on my fecond vifit to the Sandwich Iflarids. Ty- 

 aana immediately recolle^led me; and fo feniibly was he 

 affedied with the interview, that he clafped his arms about 

 me in the moft affe(5ling manner, reclined Jiis head on 

 my fhoulder, tears ran unheeded down his cheeks, and 

 it was fome time before he became calm and compofed 

 enough to utter the name of his old acquaintance Popote ; 

 but when the firil tranfports of joy, which fo unexpedied 

 a meeting excited, had a little fubfided, he feemed happy 

 in making every enquiry that could pleafe or afford fatif- 

 fadlion refpedting his friends at the Sandwich Ifiands ; and 

 on my enquiring how he came to China, 1 found that captain 

 Mears had touched at Atoui in his paffage from the coaft 

 of America to China, and Tyaana exprefling a wifh to 

 accompany the captain to Pretane, he had taken him on 



board
