Book Description
Excerpt from West African Islands The island of St. Helena was discovered in 1501 by a Portuguese explorer, who seems to be called, indifferently, Joao de Nova Gallego, Juan de Nova Castilla, Juan de Nova, or John de Niva, according to the taste of the writer. It was then densely wooded, and its shores abounded with seals and turtle, but he made no attempt to colonise it, and the first inhabitants of the island were some deserters, who were put on shore from a Portuguese ship, some fifteen years after its discovery.
