Eric J. Dolan recounts how Charles Barnard offered the Isabella castaways a humanitarian deal — rescue in exchange for salvage rights — despite learning the War of 1812 had begun. However, the arrival of HMS Nancy, commanded by Lieutenant D'Aranda, transformed the rescue into a military confrontation, as D'Aranda seized the Nanina as a prize of war and marooned Barnard and four others on the islands. For 534 days the men survived using only their wits, with Barnard's dog Scent bravely hunting wild hogs to provide essential food. (3)
