European Survivors
Five people were spared in the massacre: Ann Morley and her baby, in a cabin; Apprentice Thomas Davis (or Davison), hidden in the hold; the second mate; and two-year-old Betsy Broughton, taken by a local chief who put a feather in her hair and kept her for three weeks before rescue. The mate was killed and eaten when his usefulness in making fish-hooks was exhausted.

Famous quotes containing the words european and/or survivors:
“Assassination is the perquisite of princes.”
—19th-century European court cliché.
“I believe that all the survivors are mad. One time or another their madness will explode. You cannot absorb that much madness and not be influenced by it. That is why the children of survivors are so tragic. I see them in school. They don’t know how to handle their parents. They see that their parents are traumatized: they scream and don’t react normally.”
—Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)
