In the early spring of 1694 a vessel from Madagascar put into Charlcston harbor in distress, badl.v buttered from an encounter with a storm. The captain of the disabled vessel having received numerous kindnesses at the- hands of Latigfave Thomas Smith, then one of Charleston's foremost citizens, on leaving presented him with a small bag of rough rice, which he advised the landgrave to plant in a moist spot ami note the result.
