They rowed for 66 days and arrived in Dutch West Timor. They were sent back to England in 1792, where they stood trial. Mary was pardoned having served the full sentence, went back to Cornwall and died after 1794.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see esteemed author Judith Cook standing confidently at the Fowey Hotel in Cornwall during October 1993. The occasion marks the launch of her latest book, "To Brave Every Danger" which delves into the extraordinary life of Mary Bryant, an infamous eighteenth-century highway woman and convicted felon born in Fowey. Mary's gripping tale unfolds as she was transported to Botany Bay, Australia with her convict husband, children, and other prisoners. Miraculously escaping their captors in an open boat, they embarked on a treacherous journey that lasted a staggering 66 days until they reached Dutch West Timor. Returning to England in 1792 for trial after their daring escape, Mary faced judgment alongside her fellow fugitives. However, due to serving her full sentence and displaying immense bravery throughout their harrowing voyage home, she received a pardon. She returned to her beloved Cornwall but sadly passed away sometime after 1794. Judith Cook herself was a prolific writer whose literary repertoire extended beyond historical accounts like Mary Bryant's story. Her previous works included books on Shakespeare and successful stage adaptations of two renowned Daphne du Maurier novels. Born in 1933 and leaving behind an indelible mark upon the world of literature upon her passing in 2004; Judith Cook's dedication to storytelling shines through this photograph captured by Jonathan Barker. It immortalizes not only a momentous book launch but also pays homage to both local history and remarkable women
