Following Matthew Flinders' circumnavigation of the Australian continent, his first task was to report on his findings to the authorities in New South Wales. He did so, filling in the information on the southern coast and informing them of the possibilities of settlement there.After this, he was returning to England when he was shipwrecked, in 1803. He sheltered with his crew (and his cat Trim) for two months in tents on islands. When some ships finally came to rescue Flinders, he chose to go aboard the small schooner Minikinrather than go aboard a larger, sturdier ship. The Minikinstarted to leak and Flinders was forced to take shelter on a French island, where he was taken for a spy. At that stage, Flinders was unaware that England and France were at war.The French kept Flinders prisoner for almost seven years. When he was finally released, he returned to England (June 1810), but his years of improsinment had taken their toll, and he was in very poor health. He penned an account of his voyages, entitled A Voyage to Terra Australis, which was published in July 1814, just one day before he died.
its because his ship sailed in poor conditions and he needed to repair it so we went to France but he had no idea that England and France were at war so when he got there they thought he was a spy and put him in jail he was in jail for about 7 years and then he was released. the old answer "because he was a bad man" is wrong
Matthew 5:3, "blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven", is part of a passage known as the beatitudes. This is believed to come from the hypothetical 'Q' document. The equivalent verse in Luke is at Luke 6:20, but Luke speaks of "the poor", not the poor in spirit.Normally, Luke is believed to follow 'Q' more faithfully than Matthew, meaning that the original text should be "the poor" and we should wonder why Matthew altered this from a reference to poverty to an unclear statement. The next verses refer to "those who mourn" and "the meek", so Matthew probably had a similar meaning for "the poor in spirit".However, this passage could be an exception where Luke was the evangelist who changed the original, given Luke's emphasis on the virtues of poverty. However, the order in Luke tends to confirm Luke's "the poor" as the original text. If "the poor in spirit" is, in fact, original to 'Q', we need to look at what 'Q' was trying to say.Either way, we may never really know what Matthew meant by verse 5:3. The best we can do is accept the theological preference for relating "the poor in spirit" to "the meek".

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of God" can be found in Matthew 5:3. It is part of a list called the Beattitudes.
The quotes from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount' that are called 'the Beatitudes' can be found at: Matthew 5:1-12. The term comes from the Latin word 'beati', which means "happy" and is the basis for the word "beatitudes"(or happinesses).
