FSM History

HMS Sphinx rescues the Norna castaways, firing on Uman (MicSem list) or razing Fefan villages (Hezel).

What happened

HMS Sphinx came looking for the Norna’s crew and found four of them off Tol, whose people had sheltered them and were rewarded with gifts of cloth. The ship also picked up castaways on Nama and Losap. The two sources differ on the punishment: the MicSem list says the British fired on Uman, destroying houses and canoes, while Hezel says they razed villages and burned war canoes on Fefan.
