 Following the close of the 1891 County Championship , Hewett was part of Lord Hawke 's party which toured North America , playing six matches in the United States of America and two in Canada . Sammy Woods wrote that Hewett , along with Charles Wreford @-@ Brown and George Ricketts , became very seasick on the journey there . The first two matches were first @-@ class fixtures against the Gentlemen of Philadelphia . Hewett scored 30 and 49 in the first , an eight wicket loss which Woods blamed on taking place too soon after their arrival , claiming the team " had hardly found our land @-@ legs . " The first match had yielded an aggregate of 861 runs , the second contained only 352 , of which Hewett scored 10 and 29 . His captain , Lord Hawke , was the only other batsman to reach double figures in both innings as the touring side won by four wickets . None of the remaining fixtures on the tour had first @-@ class status , and not all were eleven @-@ a @-@ side contests . Hewett scored 113 against the sixteen man All New York on Staten Island , a match in which he was standing in as captain due to Lord Hawke being ill . Woods rated Hewett , along with Lord Hawke and Brown , as the best batsmen on the tour .
