You must know I was taken prisoner with Captain Wicks in the ship 'Louisa' of Providence in 1820 and detained by his lordship until the Spanish were driven from Peru. I was well treated by Cochrane....I was well acquainted with Commander King and Capt. Robert Fitzroy of the English surveying expedition....".rnrnNote: Vice-Admiral Robert FitzRoy FRS was an English officer of the Royal Navy and a scientist. He achieved lasting fame as the Captain of HMS Beagle during Charles Darwin's famous voyage, FitzRoy's second expedition to Tierra del Fuego.
