 Maquinna required Jewitt to learn the Nuu-chah-nulth language, and told him that the ship "Boston" was taken in response to several depredations committed by earlier American and Spanish visitors.Jewitt was rescued in 1805 by Samuel Hill, captain of the brig "Lydia".The "Narrative" also describes an earlier, less fortunate, group of European slaves who were eventually sentenced to death by Maquinna after they attempted to escape to the lands of the Tla-o-qui-aht (Clayoquot) whose chief was Maquinna's rival, Wickaninnish.
