The Adventure Of Elizabeth Morey, of New York

'The Adventure Of Elizabeth Morey, of New York' is a short story written by Louis Becke. The story begins early one morning in October, 1804, when the American ship Union sailed in through Sydney Heads, and dropped anchor in the Cove. She was last from Tongatabu, the principal island of the Friendly Group. As soon as she had been boarded by the naval officer in charge of the port, and her papers examined, the master stated that he had had a very exciting adventure with the Tongatabu natives, who had attempted to cut off the ship, and that there was then on board a young woman named Elizabeth Morey, whom he had rescued from captivity among the savages.
