Foreword by Prof. Dr. Alan Ewert
"/ regard it as the foremost task of education to insure the survival of these
qualities: an enterprising curiosity; an undefeatable spirit; tenacity in pursuit;
readiness for sensible self-denial; and above all, compassion." Kurt Hahn
WhenKurtHahn made this statement in the early 1900's, he was not just suggesting
this for students in the United Kingdom or Westem Europe, but, by implication,
all students, everywhere. For, is it possible, that any society across the globe, will
long flourish without the above qualities being instilled in its young people? And
hence a fundamental question emerges for school systems and individual teachers
alike, how can meaningful learning experiences be created for students that
address all the pedagogical domains of the physical, emotional, intellectual, and
psychological? Moreover, how can school systems move from an overemphasis
on producing students who are only really successful at passing tests and instead
contribute to the development of well-rounded citizens willing to show leadership
and the qualities articulated by Kurt Hahn?
Like everywhere, secondary schools in Hong Kong are also faced with these
very issues, namely, how to develop an educational system that teaches to the
''whole student" rather than simply focusing on the recital of facts and figores,
numbers and data, all of which are important but often seem strangely divorced
from the rest of their life. In a sense, passing tests and getting good grades often
fall into the "necessary but insufficient" conundrum. Fink (2003) makes two
points that have a connection to the issue of effective learning. First, he suggests
that high quality learning is absolutely essential to high quality living, and in this
case, the learning comes first, rather than the other way around. Second, effective
educational programs are becoming more important in various societies because
the issues that student face are necessitating new perspectives, knowledge, and
skills.
And this is where the concept of "experiential education" comes into play. In her
study, Dr. Cheung describes the spread of experiential education as a complement
to the more traditioual curriculum structure within the Hong Kong secondary
school system. In addition, she provides a more specific context of experiential
11
education, namely, that of adventure-based programs, by postulating that these
types of activities and experiences can add a much needed dimension to the school
curriculum. The hope and, indeed, expectation, of incorporating experiential and
adventure-based programs into educational learning environments lies in their
ability to positively influence both the spiritual and personal development of
the adolescent population. Dr. Cheung has attempted to discover if this is being
accomplished in the secondary school systeru of Hong Kong and if it is even
possible to integrate individual characteristics such as self-concept and spiritual
growth while nested in a highly collective culture and society.
Using a case study design, Dr. Cheung uses six data collection methods to
triangulate on the question of how effective experiential education is in the Hong
Kong school systeru. In addition, using different contextual and conceptual layers
of data provided an insightful aspect of the data analysis. Findings from this
study suggest that the use of experiential and adventure-based learning activities
presented a positive and beneficial enhancement to the school curriculum. Thus,
whether in theory or in praxis, the use of experiential education can and does
make a difference in the personal growth and development of the individual-a
necessary ingredient if societies are to achieve the full potential oftheir population.
Perhaps Kurt Hahn captured the essence of the porpose of Dr. Cheung's study, in
his stateruent, "We are all better than we know; if only we can be brought to
realize this, we may never be prepared to settle for anything less."

Foreword by Prof. Dr. Annette Scheunpflug
Experiential educational programs, in the last ten years, have been back intensively
in vogue, which probably would have never been imagined by the protagonists of
the reform pedagogy about one hundred years ago. The possibilities of achieving
self-awareness, personal development, group experiences, experiences of the
natore and spiritnal experiences have obviously been perceived as a special
attractive offer, dealing with rapid social change. Whether such offer meets the
expectations, however, often remains unclear.
13
• This work is one of the fewest studies worldwide that has analyzed the
effects of experiential programs on personal development at two-time-points in a
pre-post design, and thus, it was able to ascertain the effects.
• The author has taken a thorough holistic approach in attending the concept of
personal development, whereby spiritual dimension has been explicitly taken into
account. This is noteworthy, since this dimension is undoubtedly underdeveloped
in the public consideration of experiential educational activities overall at present.
This stody will become a core text not only for further studies on experiential
education, but also for those that relate to spiritual education in Asia and all over
the world.

Due to space constrain, the book is a shortened version of the 41 O-page-
thesis. In particular, some data collection methods and the corresponding findings
have been reluctantly omitted. Nevertheless, details of the shortened part can
always be referred to in the original dissertation.
Having accomplished writing the dissertation, first and foremost, I'd like to
express my sincere gratitude to Ms. Prof. Dr. Annette Scheunpfiug, my priucipal
supervisor, for her continuous support and guidance throughout the PhD process,
and not least, also for encouraging me to take part in the ECER (Finland) and
AEE (USA) conferences to give presentations of my studying topics. I wish to
thank my second supervisor, Mr. Prof. Dr. Thomas Eberle, for reviewing my final
work. My thanks also go to my examiner, Mr. Prof. Dr. Manfred Pimer.
I am grateful to Evangelischer EntwickJungsdienst e.V. (EED) for
granting me a scholarship and the colleagues of the scholarship desk for
supporting me to complete this doctoral study. Also, the cheering atmosphere at
the university department, at Rieneck and in ZILL encouraged me to persist till
the end. The intercultural exchange was something more than what I can learn
only from reading. A sincere thank-you is credited to Rev. L. Y. Lee of Livingstone
Lutheran Church (HKMLC) for his support. Moreover, I own debts of gratitude to
many, but especially to Dr. K.-H. Miihlhaus, Mr. Y.P. Lee, Ms. K.M. Ng and Mr.
Y.K. Lam, who generously gave me their support in cross-checking data, proof-
reading and editing my work.
Duriug this study I have been away from my homeland, working on the dissertation
alone in Germany. I wish to extend my warmest appreciation to my family
and friends for their ceaseless love. In particnlar, I want to thank my husband,
Solomon, for all his "absent" companionship that he has given me duriug the
years in which I have been working on this thesis, especially that he has become
my long-distance interlocutor in front of his computer to discuss, to think-with
and to talk with me about the topics of my stody.
For every blessing, great or small, my Lord, to you I give thanks for all!

1 Introduction
Since the end of the 1990slthe beginning of the 2000s, it appears that adventure-
based programs have been increasingly connected to the secondary school
context in Hong Kong. One can see that when walking around the secondary
schools in Hong Kong and making little inspection, people can find rock
climbing walls and highllow-beams are set on some of the external walls of
the mainstream school buildings and in their sport grounds. These are usually
some facilities of adventure-based tasks/activities. The other evidence is that it
is easy to see that there are often banners (e.g. of size 4 m x 6 m) that surround
the school buildings, on which one can see photos describing that students
were backpacking and hiking, rafting, etc., and one can see the words such as
"adventure-based program" ~~), "life-wide learning" (~::I:Jfl'l~~), "all-
round development" (~.A.fflG,5t). Does it seem like that adventore-based tasks!
activities are in frequent use and there is a connection between adventure-based
programs to learning and personal development?
This introduction chapter will introduce the focus of this research. A clear purpose
and design can be found in section 1.4. Nevertheless, the intention of this chapter
is not to explain immediately every concept in detail, but to elicit the relation of
the research focus to the Hong Kong context (section l.l and 1.2). In fact, what
has experiential education/adventure-based practice to do with the adolescents of
Hong Kong at school (section 1.3)?

1.1 Import of experientioi education
20
understood as an adventure (Duden Deutsches Universalworlerbuch, 200 I),
and it may also be explicated to have further meaning in different contexts (see
Schenz, 2007). Thus, instead of "Erlebnispiidagogik", "AbenteueIpiidagogik"
is used (e.g. Senninger, 2000). An adventure is also an incident that is as
exciting and impressive as "Erlebnis". Moreover, an adventurous incident is
often an extraordinary, unpredictable and risky happening (Duden Deutsches
Universalworlerbuch, 200 I), which implies possible occurrence of danger that
may/can result in serious physical and emotional injury (cf. Ziegenspeck 1990,
p.81). In the German-speaking room, "gewonnene Kenntnis bei praktischer
Arbeit oder durch Wiederholen einer Sache" is the explanation of "Erfahrung"
(Duden Deutsches Universalworterbuch, 2001), which has similar meaning in
the English-speaking world. Experience, the German translation of"Erfahrung",
refers to ''the knowledge or skill that you have gained through doing something
s
for a period of time." (Oxford Advanced Learner Dictionary, 2000). Experience
can be considered as the sum of knowledge and skills gained from ordinary
incidents as well as knowledge and skills gained from one piece of extraordinary
"Erlebnis".
The Chinese understanding of "~lii&" and "mlii&" can be translated into
the English word "experience", which is actually more similar to the German word
"Erfahrung" than "Erlebnis". The Chinese understanding of experience denotes
first-hand knowledge and skills that have been acquired in practical settings after
a long period of learning.
Even the word "experience", with which experiential education is talking about can
be (slightly) differently understood in different languages/cultural backgrounds
(see chapter 2 for a lucid account for the understanding of experiential education
and its framework), it takes time to differientiate these concepts. Then, why does
it seem like experiential education, especially adventure-based practice, is finding
its way to adolescents in the school context of Hong Kong?
Starting from 2000s, noticeably the Education Bureau of Hong Kong (EOB) has
begun to adopt using adventure-based programs in the secondary school context.
The Reform Proposal of the EDB states that the enhancement of an all-round
development of adolescent in the mainstream school education is important
(Reform Proposal, EOB, 2000; Progress Report, Education Commission (EOB),
2006). It looks possible that adventure-based programs have been taken as one of
21
the preventive and/or remedial measures for promoting the personal development
of students, particularly the development of their non-academic aspects, such as
promoting their self-concept, enhancing their self-caring-ability, promoting their
emotional stability, and strengthening their sense of resilience, etc. (cf. JiliIj)§!i1J!,
2010; JliI!;jjJiff, 2010). Particularly, when the general public has been complaining
about the poorly developed personal quality of Hong Kong adolescents except
that they orient strongly to economic striving (Chan, 2004; Law, 2004a; Law,
2004b; JjSI!I:E!E, 2011).' What is certain is that Hong Kong students have been
well-known to be examination-oriented and grade-achieving (cf. PISA 2006
results;' Progress Report, Education Commission (EDB), 2006, p.39), but
their non-academic development, for example, their ability of understanding
themselves and seeking personal goals, making way out of some confusing values
and ambivalent views with regard to crime, sex,' and even the meaning of life'
are in great worry (Cheung, 2006; Koo, Kam & Choi, 2003; Youth Research
Centre, 20IOa). They have been described as generation of the materially rich
but heartfully empty. Many teenagers have outwardly mature appearance but
are inwardly naive (jilj)§!i1J!, 2010; JliI!;jjJiff, 20\0). Teenagers in Hong Kong are
containers of different kinds of knowledge, but many of them have emotional and
spiritual problems, some have inadequate sense of social/global right and duty,
some lack discerning ability to drug, sex/relational and other delinquent issues
as well as lack the identification with a persoual reason for an individual life
orientation (Sun & Shek, 2010; Dimmock, 1998; il'1i~q~, 2005; §;k.!i1J!,2007a;
JliI!;jjJiff, 20 I 0).
What is more, there are studies, reporting that some teenagers are often
feeling confused, self-doubt and even feeling suicidal predominantly because of
study pressure at schools. 7 In fact, it is observed that the age group from IS
to 24 has the highest rate of attempted suicide in Hong Kong. Also, people in
this late adolescence group, who have the idea of attempting suicide, usually
study conducted by Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups (Feb to Apr, 2009).
7 See http://www.am730.comhk/textlarticle.php?article=55817.1astretrieved 12.06.2011.

display a negative life orientation. 8 This age group has a higher probability than
other age groups to show multiple personal problems, including financial, mental
health, relationship, study problem and family issues (Lee, Wong, Chow, &
McBride-Chang, 2006; Yip & Law, 2008).' In essence, adolescents are generally
found unable to acquire an autunomous, independent and self-assured self-
understanding, just like a gigantic liner is traveling without a rudder.
Whether or not these problems of some nowadays' teenagers of Hong Kong are to
be dealt with through the use of experiential education/adventure-based practice
is already a question; least tu say whether these programs have a real impact on
its participants and observably, this has not been investigated in Hong Kong. If,
the use of experiential education/adventure-based practice would be connected tu
the promotion of the personal development of the Hong Kong adolescents, what
function has it fulfilled in the school context of Hong Kong?
8 There were two cases of Hong Kong teenage students committing suicide which happened in
January 2009 (04.01.2009 & 06.01.09). The second one took place less than 48 hours after the
first one had taken place, both were due to stress of study and examination. These two suicide
cases were striking to Hong Kong (cf. 1JIl¥ll • 09.01.2009· (-mtf;.=':.=':I1!I!I!!E r !3cffl*1lll

Federation of Education Workers (fiIl1t) showed that 46.5% of 617 primary and secondary
school teacher interviewees had problems of sleeplessness because of teaching stress; and ca.
4% had thought about committing suicide (sooxlll!l¥ll • 08.01.2009· (f.I1fl1iE:iJ:k 4%ltilii

23
In earlier times, there were debates that adolescent development could
have been predominately determined either by the nature, for example, in terms
of genetic determination and heredity, or the nurture, for instance, education
and socialization. The Chinese sayings, "~:7C" (author's translation: The
nurture can win over what the nature has given) and "::='jJ!i5i::J\ +" (author's
translation: what constitutes the three-year-old has determined the eighty-year-
old) also display the nature-nurture controversy. The contemporary developmental
scientists, however, agree to the mutually influential relation between the natural
and nurturing conditions which interact to foster the systematic formation
of human beings across the life span (Baltes, Lindenberger, & Staudinger,
1998; Elder, 1998; Lemer & Steinberg, 2009). In order to respond flexibly to
environmental stimulation, people should better be empowered to flexible
mobility/self-movement and self-regulation for the sake of maintenance, survival
and reproduction of life, human beings develop co-evolutionarily with their
context across the life span (Lemer & Steinberg, 2009).
A human being is, on the one hand, a product, and an active producer of
his or her ontogeny, on the other. Dynamic collabomtions between the action of
a human being and the feedback of the context, which allow a continual coping
mechanism, are believed to make life possible. According to Brandstaedter (2006),
the reciprocal process of "action-feedback-self-organization-further-action"
brings forth human development (Brandtstiidter, 2006). A personal development,
in other words, is an outcome of the process in which a self reflects on one's
interaction to understand the present status and hislher behavior towards the
context in which (s)he is in, and wholhow (s)he would like to be in the coming time
for the sake of a good coping with the circumstances. Sometimes, the striving for
development can be intentional. But sometimes, self development, "as the result
of person-environment transaction," can be a functional mther than an intentional
one (Brandtstiidter, 2006, 826). A personal development does not take place only
once and then cease, Elder (1998) further stated a human development takes place
continuously in network of shared relation with changing times and places. An
individual, embedded and shaped by historical times, constructs continuously also
his or her own development through making choices and taking actions within the
constraints and opportunities of history and social circumstances (Elder, 1998).
Development is necessary and functional for human beings. Many educators
have always paid attention in exploring factors/conditions, which may enhance,
or otherwise hinder, the development of individuals.
24
education to inspire his students to realize their full potential, because he believed
in the Greek poet Pindar's saying: ''There is more in you than you think" (Cheung,
2007, p.3)! Hahn believed that the younger generation does not become indolent
according to fate. Young people actually ''have the joy of movement [and] an
enterprising curiosity. They are ready for sensible self-denial. They dream ahead.
They have a faithful memory, and, above all, great compassion".10 Hahn believed
that it is a matter of whether adults can bring them into a fitting environment
or refreshing experience, in which young people may discover that ''they are
more than they can think of' - ''plus est en vous" (Cheung, 2007, p.14) ." Hahn
perceives that there is an intrinsic need for the young people to develop their full
potential. According to the teenager's potential, Hahn arranged special learning
environment for them (Beard & Wilson, 2006; Eberle, 2010b; Kolb & Kolb,
2009; *tfI~ & ¥)Jj(_, 2002, etc.).
10 Hahn's words in the "Address given at Maidstone in 1962", quoted by McLachlan, see 1970, p.7.
11 ''Grow to be who you are" or ''Wcrde, der du bist!" is a saying from Pindar. See Hahn, 1934, 224.
25
he began to employ the nature, especially the sea as the new "classroom" to help
youngsters gain individual insights in how they relate to themselves, to others, and
to the external context, thus developing character (Hahn, 1947). Hahn discovered
that adventurous expeditions can "build up the [watchmen's] virtues, vigilance,
endurance, victorious patience, coolness in danger, resourcefulness and decision"
(Hahn, 1947). For Hahn, the sea as an adventure-inherent element does not only
imply a learning environment of danger and challenge, but it is ''where ever-
present potential threat required ever mobilized resources of [rescuing service]"
(Brereton, 1970, p.57), which impell people to live in a just and a commpassionate
way. In Hahn's conceptual framework, the restoration of spiritual awareness and
spiritual strength to committing to justice and compassion is of all importance
(Hahn, 1965b).
What experiential education in its initial emergence has (been intended to)
fulfill(ed) might look different than what it has/can fulfill(ed) in the Hong Kong
context. In this research, one postulate is that experiential educationladventure-
based practice connects to the enhancement of personal development of the Hong
Kong adolescents.
In the Hong Kong context, late adolescence is a detennining phase. For instance,
late adolescents usually become leaders of the junior youth in the school context.
Their leadership and social capabilities will be put into tests because they are
seemingly the more mature students in comparing to the junior stodents at
schools. If they don't take this challenge and try exercising their talents at schools,
building up their sense of efficacy, they might end up getting frustrated about
their own strength and weakness. Also, they are about to give serious thoughts
to their further study subjects and career path. There is a need for them to get
aware of and be able to tell their own selves where they want to go and what they,
occupationally, want to become. Such determination has to be, at the same time,
cautiously made and tenderly suited to their personality, interest and (life) mission.
If they don't take this decision-making personally and carefully, but just get into
any path that is expected from them, without their full and true commitment to it,
there might be a danger that they gradually get doubtful about their life purpose
and meaning and get dissatisfied with what they wonld be working on, even when
it wonld become a success.
26
Personal development, for these late adolescents, would mean the
nourishment of oneself for the sake and benefit of oneself. The nourishing process
can be seen as the bridge of the gap between the present state, in wbich individuals
are, and the becoming state, in wbich they look forward to be in. If individuals
cannot get aware of such present and becoming states, they hardly find ways to
bridge the gap, getting themselves nourished and getting their full potential out
to respond to the external challenges. Self-understanding is therefore essential for
this gap bridging (cf. Bandura, 1994; Bandura, 2006).
In Hong Kong, teenagers will likely be confronted most severely with identifying
themselves and making decisions. This is not easy for them because of all the
seemingly contradictiog voices from their parents, the global cultural influences
and their own wishes (Dimmock, 1998; Luk-Fong & Brennan, 2004; Zhang,
2005). After 150 years of British colonial govemance, the global, especially the
English-speaking, cultore has grafted onto the living of people in Hong Kong.
The educational system, namely, the school context, can reflect the crossbreeding
cultore of both the distant and the predominant local Chinese values and beliefs.
As many educational policies are imported from the British and American
perspectives, there exists clashing between many seemingly integrated hut
actually competing notions of the various cultures. As a result, in dealing with
the inconsistent cultural valueslbeliefs and practices, adolescents have a lot of
confusion in understanding themselves (see more on 5.3).
Among all the confusions, it is obvious to see the difficulty for teenagers
to position themselves as ouly a fragment of or as an intergrated part to the whole
in bighly-efficient-<ifflnanding society. Ideally, the sense ofwortbiness is believed to
come from the essence of the whole being, but when young people observe that more
values are actusl\y given to a particular fragmented area, like academic performance,
it is likely that they will get confused about the bighly-clairned value given to a
success coming, not from only a fragment, but from the whole. In fact, each piece of
fragmented area cannot stand on its own when it belongs to a system, for each piece is
interacted with one another. One may understand this with a complete jigsaw picture
that is actusl\y composed of many small pieces. The picture will not be completed if
even one small jigsaw piece is lost. It would be important for late adolescents to see
the value of development as a whole in a balanced way" (cf. Reform Proposal, EDB,
2000; for discussion on findings, see section 5.3.1.3).
27
Moreover, it is imaginable that teenagers would have to leam to
identify themselves not only as interdependent individuals; they also need to
identify themselves as independent individuals. Living in a city like Hong
Kong, whereby the lifestyle may be modernized, following many global trends.
However, the underlying mentality is still very Chinese - collective. It is common
to see people, particularly young people, get frustrated by often being expected
to be submissive to authorities, on the one hand, and being expected to be
independently decisive, on the other. In fact, there are times, when people need
to think and act interdependently, and there are also times, when people need to
think and act independently. The interdependent and the independent self do not
necessarily contradict with each other. However, it would be a learning process
for adolescents to find out when and how they would consider a decision, an
action and a responsibility collectively andlor independently (for discussion on
findings, see section 5.3.1.2).
Last but not lease, it would be foreseeable to see adolescents who will
have to leam to orient themselves and their life according to their values and
belief. In Hong Kong, a rich materialistic life has been heavily emphasized, just
like other cosmopolitsn cities. People generally have to face the confrontation
with their own value and belief system, conceming the questions like "what is
worth for one's life" and "what a person is seeking". Late adolescents will not be
spared from this struggle, particularly when they are at the developmental phase
of searching for life orientation, life meaning and life purpose. If they would only
equate what belongs to ''this worldly" to what may goes beyond, then they may
hardly come to realize there is the possibility that things can be mysteriously
linked together and an individual can be at the same time, self to - self, other
and transcendence - relevant. One central aspect of spirituality is the experience
of humility, in which an individual may be able to recognize the presence of
other beings (things/human beings). These, the whole, all together, can generate
something more than only one individual can bring forth. Therefore, life may be
taken in a very different way, when adolescents may be able to aware of not only
being materialistic, but also being spiritual (for further explication of the concept
"spirituality", see section 2.4.2.4; discussion on findings, see section 5.3.1.1).
In the Hong Kong context, where there is no official religion, it is common that
Hong Kong Chinese practices rituals and observes a variety of Chinese traditioua1
values and beliefs. These may find their traces back to the main Chinese religions,
but the religiosity of these Chinese religions do not exhibit itself as most of the
other monotheist andlor polytheist religions do. This non-religiosity may be
understood as something that is spiritual and transcendental. The spiritual is
28
found to relate to life issues, to values and beliefs that will lay their influences
on life matters and to ritual practices that also construct life patterns to certain
extent (fur further explication of the concept "spiritoality", see section 2.4.2.4;
discussion on findings, see section 5.3.1.1). In this regard, as it is believed that
it is the intention of adventure-based practice/programs to provide opportunities
for participants to explore and develop their values and beliefs that immediately
connect to their life issues, the implicit characteristics of the spiritual dimension
of the program participants is supposed to come up to the surface.
More specifically, Griffin and LeDuc (2009) found out that adventure programs
showed its catalytic effect to adolescents' spiritual growth. These stodies
highlighted different aims, which experiential education strove toward, which,
in general, entailed enhancing of self-confidence, social relationship, youngsters'
sense of responsibility and sense of compassion. This resembled the original
proposed goals of one of the key founders of those programs, Kurt Halm (Hahn,
29
1965a; Hahn 1965b). Many researchers show that adventure-based programs
generally lay influence on participants' self-development (Shek and Sun, 20 I 0).
Seeing the frequent use of adventure-based program in Hong Kong but seeing
that there is not yet a scientific and an extensive study on the phenomenon of this
trend, there is a need to comprehend what is really going on for the adolescents
in schools. As shown by some researches, the investigation supposes that the
adventure-based programs would also have certain impact on the participants'
perception to their self-concept and self-efficacy. Moreover, such programs
are often used to establish successful team work/spirit. Then, the participants'
view to learning climate may be changed. This is also one consideration in the
investigation.
In view of the situation in Hong Kong, the study set out to achieve two aims.
First, it is the intention of the study to be the first empirical research to establish a
30
current phenomenal picture of adventure-based programs in the secondary school
context of Hong Kong. It has hypothesized that participants, by taking part in the
programs, will acquire a stronger belief in their self-concept, self-efficacy (cf.
Hattie, Marsh, Neil and Richards, 1997; etc.), will have an improved view in the
learning climate and participants will reflect deeper upon their life issue, which
is regarded to be concerned with the spiritual dimension (Griffin & LeDuc, 2009;
etc.). Secondly, based on the phenomenal picture, the study attempts to interpret
what functions the adventure-based programs have fulfilled in connection with
the Hong Kong context, with regard to, particularly, the spiritual dimension and
concept of individuality (section 2.3 will further clarify more clearly with the
research question).
By means of a case study methodology, it will try to answer the research questions.

[618] The Argyllshire highlanders had joined Huske at
Falkirk on January 16th, and were present at the battle the
following day. Their colonel was John Campbell, younger, of
Mamore (1723-1806). In 1745 he was lieut.-colonel of the 54th
Regiment, but he commanded the Argyll Highlanders (militia)
throughout the Scottish campaign, and was present at Falkirk
and Culloden. He succeeded his father (see ante, p. 259) as
5th Duke of Argyll, 1770. He is best known to fame as the
husband of the beautiful Elizabeth Gunning, widow of the 6th
Duke of Hamilton, and as the host of Dr. Johnson and Boswell
at Inverary in 1773.
[619] At Prestonpans (21st September) seventy-seven
officers were taken prisoners. Some of these were allowed
entire freedom on parole, but a large portion of them had been
interned in Perthshire: they were kindly treated, and had given
their parole. In December a considerable number had been
removed to Glamis Castle, in Forfarshire, and to Cupar, Leslie,
Pitfirran, Culross, and St. Andrews in Fife. They were living
quietly in these places when about the second week in
January their retreats were raided and they ‘were forcibly
hurried off by a great number of people in arms and disguised,
whom they could not resist, and carried by the same violence
to Edinburgh.’ (Scots Mag., viii. 43.) Thirty-one officers arrived
at Edinburgh on 19th January, and Grossett was sent next day
to recover those mentioned in the text.

[632] This is that Thomas Smith who, in 1728, for an act of
consummate audacity acquired vast fame, became for a while
the darling of the British nation, and in the Navy received the
nickname of ‘Tom of Ten Thousand.’ Although only junior lieut.
of H.M.S. Gosport, while in temporary command he forced the
French corvette Gironde to lower her topsail as a salute to the
British flag when passing out of Plymouth Sound. For this
exploit he was summarily dismissed the service on the
complaint of the French ambassador, but, according to
tradition, was reinstated the following day with the rank of
post-captain (see Thackeray’s Roundabout Papers, No. 4, ‘On
Some Late Great Victories’). Modern investigation has
somewhat qualified the dramatic story of the reinstatement,
but not of the initial act. Smith was naval commander-in-chief
in Scotland from February 1746 to January 1747 when he
became rear-Admiral; in 1757, Admiral of the Blue. He
presided at the court-martial which condemned Admiral Byng.
He died 1761.
To those interested in Jacobite history his memory should
ever be cherished as the benignant guardian, if jailer, of Flora
Macdonald. When Flora was first made prisoner in Skye in the
second week of July, she was taken on board the ship of the
merciless Captain Ferguson (ante, p. 244), in which she was
detained for three weeks. Luckily for her, General Campbell
was also on board and treated Flora with great kindness. The
general handed her over to Commodore Smith, with whom she
remained a prisoner until her arrival in London in the middle of
November, a period of three and a half months. Home, in his
History, says that ‘this most worthy gentleman treated Flora
not as a stranger, nor a prisoner, but with the affection of a
parent.’ Bishop Forbes tells the same story: he ‘behaved like a
father to her, and tendered her many good advices as to her
behaviour in her ticklish situation.’ Smith permitted Flora to go
ashore in Skye to see her mother. When lying in Leith roads
he presented her with a handsome suit of riding clothes and
other garments, as well as an outfit for a Highland maid who
had hurriedly left Skye to accompany the lady in her captivity.

[648] Interesting information on the raising of Fairburn’s
men is given by the French envoy, writing to the French
Foreign Minister: Lady Mackintosh, he says, ‘a bien été imitée
par une autre fort jolie personne de son âge, nommée Barbe
Gourdon, femme de Mekensie de Ferbarn, le plus
considérable des vassaux et des parens de milord Seaforth.
Celle-cy n’a pas banni son mari; mais, malgré luy, elle a vendu
ses diamants et sa vaisselle pour lever des hommes. Elle s’en
a ramassé cent ciquante des plus braves du païs, qu’elle a
joint à ceux de miladi Seaforth, sous la conduite de son beau-
frère.’
This ‘beau-frère’ may mean Kenneth, her husband’s
brother, or it may mean Barisdale who was married to her
husband’s sister. Young Lentron in the List of Persons
concerned in the Rebellion is termed a schoolboy. I find no
mention of this Barbara Gordon in the Mackenzie clan history.

family of moss troopers; b. 1702; served in the Spanish army,
1722-38, when he returned to Scotland; was aide-de-camp to
Lord George Murray and titular aide-de-camp to the Prince;
the best staff officer the Jacobites possessed. Captured in May
in the Braes of Angus; tried for his life, and in vain pleaded his
Spanish commission; sentenced to death but reprieved;
released in 1748; died a lieut.-col. in the Spanish service 1751.
(Leishman, A Son of Knox, p. 20.) Ker wrote an account of the
operations in the last two months of the campaign, printed in
The Lyon, i. 355.
[658] This statement of Daniel’s is opposed to all reliable
evidence, and the note in the Drummond Castle MS. is
correct. The desire of his enemies was to throw the blame of
the disaster on Lord George Murray. Even the Prince seems to
have talked himself into a similar belief (see post, p. 240). The
responsibility lay on Prince Charles himself, as is told in the
Introduction.
