While in prison the groups case was taken up by the biographer and lawyer, James Boswell. After Marys' release Boswell provided her with a pension of £10 until his death in 1795.
On the voyage back to England, William and both of Mary's children perished of fever.
After landing on Timor island the Bryants and their crew claimed to be shipwreck survivors. Later on the group was discovered to be British convicts, apparently after William became drunk and confessed in the process of bragging. To avoid an international incident they were sent back to Britain to stand trial, travelling first on a Dutch ship (the Rembang) to Batavia in the company of survivors of HMS Pandora, a British ship sent to capture the Bounty mutineers, thereafter travelling from Batavia to Cape Town on the three Dutch VOC ships Vredenburg, Hoornwey and Horssen (carrying Mary Bryant and her daughter Charlotte, arriving there on 19 March 1792, and later from Cape Town in the company of Royal Marines returning from Sydney on the HMS Gorgon.
"Will: I don't know that I can get us across. Mary Bryant: Of course you don't, it's a risk, but you've gone from Cornwall across to Spain - the same distance, you said it yourself, and you'll be the one to get us to Timor. Will: I didn't exactly do that - sail across to Spain, I didn't exactly do that. I can read a chart better than a book, I can hug a coastline, feel a boat around rocks, but I've never taken a boat outside of land in my life, and I don't intend to now. Listen to it, it's our last stroke of luck and its telling us to stay here. Mary Bryant: Then why did you say...? Will: Don't you know me by now?"
"Clarke: Wilfulness is the root of all sin. Each of us has a daily battle to rein ourselves in, and you - you were the test I failed, twice."
