Description

The Blenden Hall, an East Indiaman of 450 tons burden, under charter to John Company, left London for Bombay in May, 1821, and some two months later, after a comparatively uneventful passage, went ashore and became a total loss on uninhabited Inaccessible Island, one of the Tristan Da Cunha group. The Blenden Hall carried numerous passengers, and it is more a tribute to good fortune than to any conspicuous display of seamanship on the part of the captain and officers of the doomed-vessel that, out of eighty-five souls -- passengers and crew -- eighty-two, including Captain Greig, struggled ashore from the wreck, and established themselves on the rocky and inhospitable island that had, for once, belied its name. Although shipwreck is no amusing matter to those who directly participate in so unpleasant an experience, the story of the survivors of the Blenden Hall, during their three-and-a-half months' enforced sojourn on Inaccessible Island, is a decidedly humorous story. Passengers and crew behaved throughout more like a company of congenital and quarrelsome lunatics than responsible and, in some instances, educated persons. Surely a more cantankerous set of castaways have never before or since rendered their own lives and the lives of their companions in misfortune intolerable to them by reason of their incessant bickering, petty follies and deceits.
