While in hiding on the outskirts of the convict settlement, he discovers a small hut occupied by a very young woman named Isabella Rosson who revives him with soup when he is on the verge of collapse. Starving, as food supplies from England dwindle, John is seen stealing two apples from a soldier’s tent and is on the run to escape punishment. Sent to Port Jackson on the First Fleet, nine-year-old John Hudson is the youngest convict sentenced to transportation.
