Alexander Selkirk as mate received 800 prize money. Harris (voyages, etc.) makes the following comments on the voyage: It has been universally allowed by such as are proper judges of such expeditions that there never was any voyage of this nature so happily adjusted, so well provided in all respects, or in which the accidents that usually happen in Privateers were so effectually guarded against. This he attributes to the abilities of the gentlemen Of Bristol, and remarks that it was owing to this expedition that the spirit of privateering in the South Seas was not totally lost 'in Eng land.
