THe eighteenth, perceiuing of all our fifteene men in the Flyboate there remained but fiue, which by meanes of the former mischance, were able to stand to their labour: and that the the Admirall meant not to make any haste for England, but to linger about the Island of Ter∣cera for purchase: the Flyboate departed for England with letters, where we hoped by the help of God to arriue shortly: but by that time we had continued our course homeward about twen∣ty dayes, hauing had sometimes scarse and variable windes, our fresh water also by le••king almost consumed, there arose a storme at Northeast, which for sixe dayes ceased not to blowe so exceeding, that we were driuen further in those sixe then we could recouer in thirteene daies: in which time others of our saylers began to fall very sicke and two of them dyed, the weather al∣so continued so close, that our Mast••r sometimes in foure dayes together could see neither sunne nor starre, and all the beuerage we could make, with stinking water, dregs of beere, and lees of wine which remayned, was but three gallons, and therefore now we expected nothing but famine to perish at Sea.
