Philip Ashton

Philip Ashton (1702-1746) stayed as a castaway on uninhabited Roatan Island in the Bay of Honduras for 16 months in 1723/1724. His memoirs about his solitary stay (published in book form in Boston in 1725) were not believed by everyone; some people believed the book was a novel in the style of ''Robinson Crusoe''. However, unlike Robinson Crusoe, Ashton was genuine; he was born in Marblehead, Massachusetts in 1702 and married twice in his lifetime.〔Edward E. Leslie, "Desperate Journeys, Abandoned Souls", 1988, pp.107–8〕
== Castaway life ==
In June 1722, Ashton was captured by pirates while fishing near the coast of Shelburne, Nova Scotia. In the ''Boston News Letter'' of 9 July 1722, Ashton was listed as being one of those captured by the pirate Edward Low.〔 As Ashton refused to co-operate with the pirates, he was often threatened. He managed to escape in March 1723 when the pirates landed at Roatán Island in the Bay Islands of Honduras, hiding in the jungle until the pirates decided to depart without him. He survived for 16 months, in spite of many insects, tropical heat and alligators. In the beginning he seems to have eaten only fruit, because he only had his hands to collect food; he could not kill any animal. He had no equipment at all until he met another castaway, an Englishman. A few days later the Englishman "went out but he never returned." The Englishman left behind a knife, gunpowder, tobacco and more. Ashton could now kill tortoises and crayfish and make fires to have hot meals. Ashton was finally rescued by the ''Diamond'', a ship from Salem, Massachusetts.
