In the brilliant daughter of the Duke de Noirmoutier, heiress of a name mixed up with all the struggles of that epoch, we behold a last survivor of the Regency, and the dramatic vicissitudes of a life devoted to the pursuit of political power, have blinded the mental vision of posterity to the grandeur of a work of which that eminent woman was the principal instrument.

It was too evident, that if the raft had had more occupants, the lad was the only survivor.
Gowles faithfully recorded, as will be seen, in his missionary narrative. Gowles found himself alone, the sole survivor, and bestriding the mast in the midst of a tempestuous sea.
