Popping at the Raven in Paternoster-Row, and at the Printing Press under the Royal-Exchange, Cornhill, 1711.

This is the first published version of Captain John Deane's narrative. It was brought out in 1711 by the Captain's brother, Jasper, who owned the
Nottingham Galley
and, with Charles Whitworth, the cargo. Jasper rushed it to press in order to protect his interests and to counter the first mate, Christopher Langman, who brought out his own version (which follows) later in the year. None of the manuscripts has survived.
