Taking to boats, the survivors, including Captain Fraser and his wife Eliza, headed south in a bid to reach the settlement at Moreton Bay. Several days later and with the crew mutinous, they beached on what is now named Fraser Island, resorting eventually to walking their way south. After some early encounters with local Aborigines, they were taken, stripped naked, and made to work. Captain Fraser was speared, finally dying of his wounds some days later. Eliza Fraser and the First Mate, Brown, finally escaped with the assistance of one of the natives. Eliza was eventually delivered to a rescue party, her story gaining her worldwide sympathy and notoriety.
