Hortop, Job.

Owing to a scarcity of food, Sir John Hawkins, in October, 1568, put 100 men ashore on the Mexican coast, and abandoned them to their fate. All but two were killed by the Indians, or died of starvation. One of the two—David Ingram—made his way on foot from Mexico to the St. John's River, New Brunswick, where he was rescued by a French vessel. The other—Job Hortop —made his way to the city of Mexico, and eventually reached England in 1590.
