Several authors named James Frew as the youngest member of the expedition, and the story is told that Stuart delayed the start of the expedition so that Frew might celebrate his 18th birthday. That story is not correct – Billiatt was the youngest member. If the expedition was delayed, it was to celebrate Frews 21st birthday.
