About this ebook
"My Adventures During the Late War" by Donat Henchy O'Brien is a personal memoir of the author. He was a British Royal Navy officer. O'Brien served as a midshipman during the French Revolutionary Wars and commanded a troop-carrying vessel during the Anglo-Russian invasion of Holland. He was afterward appointed acting lieutenant and served as a master's mate on the frigate Hussar. While returning to England in 1804, the ship was wrecked on the Île de Sein, and O'Brien and other crews were captured by the French. O'Brien was imprisoned in France but escaped in 1808 and reached a British vessel at Trieste. He later wrote this book about all of his experiences.
