General note"The public may rely on the truth of the proceeding narrative of the shipwreck and sufferings of D. Foss, who is now living with his relatives in Elkton, Maryland, and has deposited in the Philadelphia Museum the oar, which he so highly prized, and on which he kept a reckoning of the number of days he passed on the dreary island."
