Did any convicts escape from the First Fleet?
During the actual voyage of the First Fleet, only one convict tried to get away. On 3 June 1787, the fleet arrived at Santa Cruz, Tenerife in the Canary islands, to take on board fresh water, vegetables and meat. Phillip and the chief officers were entertained by the local governor, while one convict tried unsuccessfully to escape. He was apprehended, and placed on a separate ship with only female convicts so that he could not collude with the other men to make a second attempt. Once the First Fleet arrived in Australia, many convicts attempted to escape. However, in the early years, there was nowhere for them to escape to. Some believed that they could reach China simply by walking. There were many tales of their bones lying scattered in the Australian bush. Lack of communication and understanding between whites and Aborigines caused some escaped convicts to be killed by Aborigines. Some returned to the colony, exhausted and dehydrated, completely unprepared for the harsh conditions encountered in the Australian bush.
