Excerpt from Debenham's Vow, Vol. 2 of 3 De Benham was off the next day to Squillace, a distance of ten miles by the coast. There he waited upon the British consul, and busied himself with inquiries as to the ways and means by which the Fairy Queen might be got afloat again. He consulted the harbour-master, and several ship-owners and shipping agents, about the chartering of a vessel for the transport of the cargo, but he found no ship-builder in the place, and only a ship-builder could relaunch the Fairy Queen. Unsuccessful, therefore, at Squillace, he had no resource but to go to Reggio on the western coast, some eighty or ninety miles distant. Finding himself a mere mark for every kind of extortion at Reggio, he crossed over to Messina. But it seemed to him that, wherever he went, news of his purpose had gone before him.
