The last voyage of the worshipfull M. Thomas Candish esquire, intended for the South sea, the Philippinas, and the coast of China, with 3. tall ships, and two barks: Written by M. Iohn Iane, a man of good obseruation, imployed in the same, and many other voyages.

THe 26. of August 1591. wee departed from Plimmouth with 3. ••all ships, and two barkes, The Galeon wherein M. Candish went himselfe being Admiral, The Roebucke viceadmirall whereof M. Cocke was Captaine, The Desire Rere-admirall whereof was Captaine M. Iohn Dauis (with whom and for whose sake I went this voyage) The Blacke pinnesse, and a barke of M. A∣drian Gilbert, whereof M. Randolfe Cotton was Captaine.

* 1.1The 29. of Nouember wee fell with the bay of Saluador vpon the coast of Brasil 12. leagues on this side Cabo Frio, where wee were becalmed vntill the second of December: at which time wee tooke a small barke bound for the Riuer of Plate with sugar,* 1.2 haberdash wares, and Negros. The Master of this barke brought vs vnto an yle called Placencia thirtie leagues West from Cabo Frio,* 1.3 where wee arriued the fift of December, and rifled sixe or seuen houses inhabited by Portugales. The 11. wee departed from this place, and the fourteenth we arriued at the yle of S. Sebastian:* 1.4 from whence M. Cocke and Captaine Dauis presently departed with The Desire and the blacke pinnesse, for the taking of the towne of Santos. The 15. at euening we anckered at the barre of Santos, from whence we departed with our boates to the towne: and the next mor∣ning about nine of the clocke wee came to Santos, where being discouered, wee were inforced to land with 24. gentlemen, our long boat being farre a sterne, by which expedition wee tooke all the people of the towne at Masse both men and women, whom wee kept all that day in the Church as prisoners. The cause why master Candish desired to take this towne was to supply his great wants: For being in Santos,* 1.5 and hauing it in quiet possession, wee stood in assurance to supply all our needes in great abundance. But such was the negligence of our gouernour master Cocke, that the Indians were suffered to carry out of the towne whatsoeuer they would in open viewe, and no man did controll them: and the next day after wee had wonne the towne, our prisoners were all set at libertie, onely foure poore olde men were kept as pawnes to supply our wants. Thus in three dayes the towne that was able to furnish such another Fleete with all kinde of ne∣cessaries, was left vnto vs nakedly bare, without people and prouision.

Eight or tenne dayes after master Candish himselfe came thither, where hee remained vntill the 22. of Ianuary, seeking by increatie to haue that, whereof we were once possessed. But in con∣clusion wee departed out of the towne through extreeme want of victuall, not being able any lon∣ger to liue there, and were glad to receiue a fewe canisters or baskets of Cassaui meale; so that in euery condition wee went worse furnished from the towne, then when wee came vnto it. The 22. of Ianuary we departed from Santos, and burnt Sant Vincent to the ground.* 1.6 The 24. we set saile, shaping our course for the Streights of Magellan.

The seuenth of February we had a very great storme, and the eight hour Fleet was separated by the fury of the tempest. Then our Captaine called vnto him the Master of our ship, whom hee found to be a very honest and sufficient man, a••d conferring with him he concluded to goe for Port Desire, which is in the Southerly latitude of 48. degrees; hoping that the Generall would come thither, because that in his first voyage he had found great reliefe there. For our Captaine could neuer get any direction what course to take in any such extremities, though many times hee had intreated for it, as often I haue heard him with griefe report. In sayling to this port by good chance we met with The Roe-bucke, wherein master Cocke had endured great extremities, and had lost his boate, and therefore desired our Captaine to keepe him company, for hee was in very desperate case. Our Captaine hoi••ed out his boate, and went abord him to know his estate, and re∣turning

turning tolde vs the hardnesse thereof, and desired the Master and all the company to be carefull in all their watches not to loose The Roe-bucke, and so wee both arriued at Port Desire the sixth of March.* 1.7

The 16. of March The Blacke pinnesse came vnto vs, but master Gilberts barke came not, but returned home to England,* 1.8 hauing their Captaine abord the Roe-bucke without any proui∣sion more then the apparell that hee wore, who came from thence abord our ship to remaine with our Captaine, by reason of the great friendship betweene them. The 18. the Galeon came into the road, and master Candish came into the harborough in a boat which he had made at sea; for his long boat and light-horseman were lost at sea, as also a pinnesse which he had built at Santos:* 1.9 and being abord The Desire he tolde our Captaine of all his extremities, and spake most hardly of his company, and of diuers gentlemen that were with him, purposing no more to goe abord his owne ship, but to stay in The Desire. We all sorrowed to heare such hard speaches of our good friends; but hauing spoken with the gentlemen of the Galeon wee found them faithfull, honest, and reso∣lute in proceeding, although it pleased our Generall otherwise to conceiue of them.

The 20. of March we departed from Port Desire, master Candish being in The Desire with vs. The eighth of April 1592. wee fell with the Streights of Magellan,* 1.10 induring many furious stormes betweene Port Desire and the Streight. The 14. we passed through the first Streight. The 16. we passed the second Streight being ten leagues distant from the first. The 18. we dou∣bled Cape Froward, which Capelieth in 53. degrees and ½. The 21. wee were inforced by the fury of the weather to put into a small cooue with our ships, 4. leagues from the said Cape, vpon the South shoare, where wee remained vntil the 15. of May. In the which time wee indured ex∣treeme stormes, with perpetual snow, where many of our men died with cursed famine, and mise∣rable cold, not hauing wherewith to couer their bodies, nor to fill their bellies, but liuing ••y mus∣kles, water, and weeds of the sea, with a small reliefe of the ships store in meale sometimes. And all the sicke men in the Galeon were most vncharitably put a shore into the woods in the snow••, raine, and cold, when men of good health could skarcely indure it, where they ended their liues in the highest degree of misery, master Candish all this while being abord the Desire. In these great extremities of snow and cold, doubting what the ende would be, he asked our Captaines opinion, because he was a man that had good experience of the Northwest parts, in his 3. seuerall discoue∣ries that way, imployed by the marchants of London. Our Captaine tolde him, that this snowe was a matter of no long continuance, and gaue him sufficient reason for it, and that thereby hee could not much be preiudiced or hindered in his proceeding. Notwithstanding he called together all the company, and tolde them, that he purposed not to stay in the Streights, but to depart vpon some other voyage, or else to returne againe for Brasil. But his resolution was to goe for the Cape of Buena Esperança. The company answered, that if it pleased him, they did desire to stay Gods fauour for a winde, and to indure all hardnesse whatsoeuer, rather then to giue ouer the voy∣age, considering they had bene here but a smal time, and because they were within fourtie leagues of the South sea, it grieued them now to returne; notwithstanding what hee purposed, that they would performe. So hee concluded to goe for the Cape of Buena Esperança, and to giue ouer this voyage. Then our Captaine, after master Candish was come abord The Desire from tal∣king with the company, tolde him, that if it pleased him to consider the great extremitie of his estate, the s••endernesse of his prouisions, with the weakenesse of his men, it was no course for him to proceed in that newe enterprize: for if the rest of your shippes (said hee) bee furnished answe∣rable to this, it is impossible to performe your determination: for wee haue no more sailes then mastes, no victuals, no ground-tackling, no cordage more then is ouer head, and among seuentie and fiue persons, there is but the Master alone that can order the shippe, and but foureteene say∣lers. The rest are gentlemen, seruing men, and artificers. Therefore it will be a desperate case to take so hard an enterprize in hand. These perswasions did our Captaine not onely vse to master Candish, but also to master Cocke. In fine vpon a petition deliuered in writing by the chiefe of the whole company, the Generall determined to depart out of The Streights of Magellan, and to returne againe for Santos in Brasil.

So the 15. of May wee set saile, the Generall then being in the Galeon.* 1.11 The eighteenth wee were free of the Streights, but at Cape Froward it was our hard hap to haue our boat sunke at our sterne in the night, and to be split and sore spoiled, and to loose all our ores.

The twentieth of May being thwart of Port Desire, in the night the Generall altered his course, as we suppose, by which occasion wee lost him:* 1.12 for in the euening he stood close by a winde to seaward, hauing the winde at Northnortheast, and wee standing the same way, the winde not altering, could not the next day see him: so that we them perswaded our selues, that hee was gone

for Port Desire to relieue himselfe, or that hee had sustained some mischance at Sea, and was gone thither to remedy it. Whereupon our Captaine called the Generals men vnto him, with the rest, and asked their opinion what was to bee done. Euery one sayde, that they thought that the Generall was gone for Port Desire. Then the Master being the Generals man, and care∣full of his masters seruice, as also of good iudgement in Sea-matters, tolde the company howe dangerous it was to goe for Port Desire, if wee shoulde there misse the Generall: for (saide hee) wee haue no boate to lande our selues, nor any cables nor anckers that I dare trust in so quicke streames as are there: yet in all likelyhood concluding that the Generall was gone thither, wee stayed our course for Port Desire, and by chance mette with the Blacke pinnesse, which had like∣wise lost the Fleete, being in very miserable case: so wee both concluded to seeke the Generall at Port Desire.

* 1.13The sixe and twentieth day of May we came to Port Desire, where not finding our Generall, as we hoped, being most s••enderly victualled, without sailes, boate, ores, nailes, cordage, and all o∣ther necessaries for our reliefe, wee were strooken into a deadly sorrow. But referring all to the prouidence and fatherly protection of the Almightie, wee entered the harbour, and by Gods fa∣uour sound a place of qui••t roade,* 1.14 which before wee knewe not. Hauing mored our shippe with the pinnesses boate, wee landed vpon the South shore, where wee found a standing poole of fresh water,* 1.15 which by estimation might holde some tenne tunnes, whereby wee were greatly comfor∣ted. From this poole wee fet more then fortie tunnes of water, and yet we left the poole as full as wee found it. And because at our first being in this harbour wee were at this place and found no water, we perswaded our selues that God had sent it for our reliefe. Also there were such ex∣traordinary low ebbes as we had neuer seene, whereby wee got muskles in great plentie.* 1.16 Like∣wise God sent about our shippes great abundance of smelts, so that with hookes made of pinnes euery man caught as many as hee coulde eate: by which meanes wee preserued our ships victu∣als, and spent not any during the time of our abode here.

Our Captaine and Master falling into the consideration of our estate and dispatch to goe to the Generall, found our wants so great, as that in a moneth wee coulde not fitte our shippe to set saile. For wee must needes set vp a Smiths forge, to make boltes, spikes, and nayles, besides the repairing of our other wants. Whereupon they concluded it to bee their best course to take the pinnesse, and to furnish her with the best of the company, and to goe to the Generall with all expedition, leauing the shippe and the rest of the company vntill the Generals returne; for hee had vowed to our Captaine, that hee would returne againe for the Streights, as hee had tolde vs. The Captaine and Master of the pinnesse being the Generals men were well contented with the motion.

* 1.17But the Generall hauing in our shippe two most pestilent fellowes, when they heard of this de∣termination they vtterly misliked it, and in secret dealt with the company of both shippes, vehe∣mently perswading them, that our Captaine and Master would leaue them in the countrey to bee deuoured of the Canibals, and that they were mercilesie and without charitie: whereupon the whole company ioyned in secret with them in a night to murther our Captaine and Master, with my selfe, and all those which they thought were their friendes. There were markes taken in his caben howe to kill him with muskets through the shippes side, and bullets made of siluer for the execu••ion, if their other purposes should faile. All agreed hereunto, except it were the bote-swaine of our shippe, who when hee knew the matter, and the slender ground thereof, reue••led it vnto our Master, and so to the Captaine. Then the matter being called in question, those two most mur∣therous fellowes were found out, whose names were Charles Parker and Edward Smith.

The C••ptaine being thus hardly beset in perill of famine, and in danger of murthering, was constrained to vse lenitie, and by courteous meanes to pacif••e this furie; shewing, that to doe the Generall seruice, vnto whom he had vowed faith in this action, was the cause why hee purposed to goe vnto him in the pinnesse, considering, that the pinnesse was so necessary a thing for him, as that hee could not bee without her, because hee was fearefull of the shore in so great shippes. Whereupon all cried out with cursing and swearing, that the pinnesse should not goe vnlesse the shippe went. Then the Captaine desired them to shewe themselues Christians, and not so blas∣phemously to be haue themselues, without regard or thankesgiuing to God for their great deliue∣rance, and present sustenance bestowed vpon them, alleaging many examples of Gods sharpe pu∣nishment for such ingratitude; and withall promised ••o doe any thing that might stend with their good liking. By which gentle speaches the matter was pacified, and the Captaine and Master at the request of the company were content to forgiue this great treachery of Parker and Smith, who after many admonitions concluded in these wordes: The Lord iudge betweene you and mee:

which after came to a most sharpe reuenge euen by the punishment of the Almightie. Thus by a generall consent it was concluded not to depart, but there to stay for the Generals returne. Then our Captaine and Master, seeing that they could not doe the Generall that seruice which they de∣sired, made a motion to the companie, that they would lay downe vnder their handes the losing of the Generall, with the extremities wherein we then stoode: whereunto they consented, and wrote vnder their hands as followeth.

The testimoniall of the companie of The Desire touching their losing of their Generall, which appeareth to haue beene vtterly against their meanings.

THe 26 of August 1591 wee whose names bee here vnder written, with diuers others depar∣ted from Plimmouth vnder M. Thomas Candish our Generall, with 4 ships of his, to wit, The Galeon, The Robuck, The Desire, and The Black pinnesse, for the performance of a voy∣age into The South sea. The 19 of Nouember we fell with the bay of Saluador in Brasil. The 16 of December we tooke the towne of Santos, hoping there to reuictuall our selues, but it fell not out to our contentment. The 24 of Ianuary we set saile from Santos, shaping our course for The Streights of Magellan. The 8 of Februarie by violent stormes the sayde fleete was parted: The Robuck and The Desire arriued in Porte Desire the 6 of March. The 16 of March The Black pinnesse arriued there also: and the 18 of the same our admirall came into the roade•• with whom we departed the 20 of March in poore and weake estate. The 8 of Aprill 1592 we entred The Streights of Magellan. The 21 of Aprill wee ankered beyond Cape Froward, within 40 leagues of The South sea, where wee rode vntill the 15 of May. In which time wee had great store of snowe, with some gustie weather, the wind continuing still at Westnorthwest against vs. In this time wee were inforced for the preseruing of our victuals, to liue the most part vpon mus∣kles, our prouision was so slender; so that many of our men died in this hard extremitie. Then our General returned for Brasil there to winter, & to procure victuals for this voyage against the next yeere. So we departed The Streights the 15 of May. The 21 being thwart of Port Desire 30 leagues off the shoare, the wind then at Northeast and by North, at fiue of the clock at night lying Northeast, wee suddenly cast about lying Southeast and by South, and sometimes Southeast: the whole fleete following the admirall, our ship comming vnder his lee shot ahead him, and so fra∣med saile fit to keepe companie. This night wee were seuered, by what occasion wee protest wee know not, whither we lost them or they vs.* 1.18 In the moruing we only saw The Black pinnesse, then supposing that the admirall had ouershot vs. All this day wee stoode to the Eastwards, hoping to find him, because it was not likely, that he would stand to the shoare againe so suddenly. But mis∣sing him towards night, we stood to the shoareward, hoping by that course to finde him. The 22 of May at night we had a violent storme, with the winde at Northwest, and wee were inforced to hull, not being able to beare saile, and this night we perished our maine tress••etrees, so that wee could no more vse our maine top-saile, lying most dangerously in the sea. The pinnesse likewise receiued a great leake, so that wee were inforced to seeke the next shoare for our reliefe. And be∣cause famine was like to bee the best ende, wee desired to goe for Port Desire, hoping with seales and penguins to relieue our selues, and so to make shift to followe the Generall, or there to stay his comming from Brasil. The 24 of May wee had much winde at North. The 25 was calme, and the sea very loftie, so that our ship had dangerous foule weather. The 26 our fore-shrowdes brake, so that if wee had not beene neere the shoare, it had beene impossible for vs to get out of the sea. And nowe being here mored in Port Desire, our shroudes are all rotten, not hauing a running rope whereto wee may trust, and being prouided onely of one shift of sailes all worne, our top-sailes not able to abide any stresse of weather, neither haue wee any pitch, tarre, or nailes, nor any store for the supplying of these wantes; and wee liue onely vpon seales and muskles, ha∣uing but fiue hogsheads of porke within bourd, and meale three ounces for a man a day, with wa∣ter for to drinke. And forasmuch as it hath pleased God to separate our fleete, and to bring vs into such hard extremities, that only now by his mere mercy we expect reliefe, though otherwise we are hopelesse of comfort, yet because the wonderfull workes of God in his exceeding great fauour to∣ward vs his creatures are farre beyond the scope of mans capacitie, therefore by him we hope to haue deliuerance in this our deepe distresse. Also forasmuch as those vpon whom God will bestow the fauour of life, with returne home to their countrey, may not onely themselues remaine blame∣lesse, but also manifest the trueth of our actions, wee haue thought good in Christian charitie to lay downe vnder our hands the trueth of all our proceedings euen till the time of this our distresse.

Giuen in Port Desire the 2 of Iune 1592. Beseching the almightie God of his mercie to deli∣uer vs from this miserie, how or when it shall please his diuine Maiestie.

After they had deliuered this relation vnto our captaine vnder their handes, then wee began to trauell for our liues, and wee built vp a smiths forge, and made a colepit, and burnt coles, and there wee made nailes, boltes, and spikes, others made ropes of a peece of our cable, and the rest gathered muskles, and tooke smeltes for the whole companie. Three leagues from this harbo∣rough there is an Isle with foure small Isles about it, where there are great abundance of ••eales, and at the time of the yeere the penguins come thither in great plentie to breede.* 1.19 Wee concluded with the pinnesse, that she should sometimes goe thither to fetch seales for vs; vpon which condi∣on wee would share our victuals with her man for man; whereunto the whole companie agreed. So wee parted our poore store, and shee laboured to fetch vs seales to eate, wherewith wee liued when sineltes and muskles failed: for in the nepe streames wee could get no muskles. Thus in most miserable calamitie wee remained vntill the sixt of August, still keeping watch vpon the hils to looke for our Generall, and so great was our vexation and anguish of soule, as I thinke neuer flesh and blood endured more. Thus our miserie dayly increasing, time passing, and our hope of the Generall being very colde, our Captaine and Master were fully perswaded, that the Gene∣rall might perhaps goe directly for The Streights, and not come to this harborough: whereupon they thought no course more conuenient then to goe presently for The Streights, and there to stay his comming, for in that place hee could not passe, but of force wee must see him: whereunto the companie most willingly conse••ted, as also the Captaine and Master of the pinnesse; so that vpon this determination wee made all possible speede to depart.

* 1.20The sixt of August wee set saile, and went to Penguin-isle, and the next day wee salted twentie hogsheads of seales, which was as much as our salt could possibly doe, and so wee departed for The Streights the poorest wretches that euer were created. The seuenth of August towarde night wee departed from Penguin-isle, shaping our course for The Streights, where wee had full considence to meete with our Generall. The ninth wee had a sore storme, so that wee were con∣strained to hull, for our sailes were not to indure any force. The 14 wee were driuen in among certaine Isles neuer before discouered by any knowen relation, lying fiftie leagues or better from the shoare East and Northerly from The Streights:* 1.21 in which place, vnlesse it had pleased God of his wonder••ull mercie to haue ceased the winde, wee must of necessitie haue perished. But the winde shifting to the East, wee directed our course for The Streights, and the 18 of August wee fell with the Cape in a very thicke fogge; and the same night we ankered ten leagues within the Cape. The 19 day wee passed the first and the second Streights.* 1.22 The 21 wee doubled Cape Froward. The 22 we ankered in Saluage cooue, so named, because wee found many Saluages there: notwithstanding the extreme colde of this place, yet doe all these wilde people goe naked, and liue in the woods like Satyrs, painted and disguised, and flie from you like wilde deere. They are very strong, and threw stones at vs of three or foure pound weight an incredible distance. The

24 in the morning wee departed from this cooue, and the same day we came into the Northwest reach, which is the last reach of the Streights.* 1.23 The 25 we ankored in a good cooue, within four∣teene leagues of the South sea: in this place we purposed to stay for the General, for the streight in this place is scarce three miles broad, so that he could not passe but we must see him. After we had stayed here a fortnight in the deep of Winter, our victuals consuming, (for our Seals stunke most vily, and our men died pitifully through cold and famin, for the greatest part of them had not clothes to defend the extremitie of the winters cold) being in this heauie distresse, our captaine and Master thought it the best course to depart from the Streights into the South sea, and to go for the Isle of Santa Maria, which is to the Northward of Baldi••ia in 37 degrees & a quarter, where we might haue reliefe, and be in a temperate clime, and there stay for the Generall, for of necessity he must come by that Isle. So we departed the 13 of September, & came in sight of the South sea.* 1.24 The 14 we were forced backe againe, and recouered a cooue 3 leagues within the streights from the South sea. Againe we put foorth, & being 8 or 10 leagues free of the land, the wind ri∣sing furiously at Westnorthwest, we were inforced againe into the streights only for want of sails; for we neuer durst ••eare saile in any stresse of weather, they were so weake: so againe we recoue∣red the cooue three leagues within the streights, where we indured most furious weather, so that one of our two cables brake, whereby we were hopeles of life. Yet it pleased God to calme the storme, and wee vnriued our sheates, tackes, halliers, and other ropes, and mored our ship to the trees close by the rockes. We laboured to recouer our ankor againe, but could not by any means, it lay so deepe in the water, and as we thinke cleane couered with oaze. Now had we but one an∣kor which had but one whole Flouke, a cable spliced in two places, and a piece of an olde cable. In the middest of these our troubles it pleased God that the wind came faire the first of October; whereupon with all expedition wee loosed our morings, and weighed our ankor, and so towed off into the chanel; for wee had mended our boate in Port Desire, and had fiue oares of the pinnesse. When we had weighed our ankor, we found our cable broken, onely one strand helde: then wee praysed God; for we saw apparantly his mercies in preseruing vs. Being in the chanel, we riued our ropes, & againe rigged our ship, no mans hand was idle, but all laboured euen for the last gaspe of life. Here our company was deuided; some desired to go againe for Port Desire, and there to be set on shore, where they might trauell for their liues, and some stood with the Captaine & Master to proceed. Whereupon the Captaine sayd to the Master: Master, you see the wonderfull extre∣mitie of our estate, and the great doubts among our companie of the truth of your reports, as tou∣ching reliefe to be had in the South sea: some say in secret, as I am informed, that we vndertake these desperate attempts through blind affection that we beare to the General. For mine owne part I plainely make knowen vnto you, that the loue which I bare to the Generall caused mee 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to enter into this action, whereby I haue not onely heaped vpon my head this bitter calamity now present, but also haue in some sort procured the dislike of my best friends in England, as it is not vnknowen to some in this company. But now being thus intangled by the prouidence of God for my former offences (no doubt) I desire, that it may please his diuine Maiestie to shew vs such mercifull fauour•• that we may rather proceed, then otherwise: or if it be his wil, that our mortall being shal now take an ende, I rather desire that it may bee in proceeding then in retur∣ning. And because I see in reason, that the limits of our time are now drawing to an end, I do in Christian charity intreat you all, first to forgiue me in whatsoeuer I haue bin grieuous vnto you; secondly that you wil rather pray for our General, then vse hard speeches of him; and let vs be ful∣ly perswaded, that not for his cause & negligence, but for our own offences against the diuine Ma∣iesty we are presently punished; lastly, let vs forgiue one another and be reconciled as children in loue & charity, and not think vpon the vanities of this life: so shall we in leauing this life liue with our glorious redeemer, or abiding in this life, find fauour with God. And now (good master) for as∣much as you haue bin in this voyage once before with your master the general, satisfie the cōpany of such truths, as are to you best knowen; & you the rest of the generals men, which likewise haue bin with him in his first voyage, if you heare any thing contrary to the truth, spare not to reprooue it, I pray you. And so I beseech the Lord to bestow his mercy vpon vs. Then the master began in these speeches: Captain, your request is very reasonable, & I referre to your iudgment my ho∣nest care, & great pains taken in the generals seruice, my loue towards him, & in what sort I haue discharged my duety, from the first day to this houre. I was commanded by the general to fol∣low your directions, which hitherto I haue perfourmed. You all knowe, that when I was ex∣treamely sicke, the General was lost in my mates watch, as you haue well examined: si••hens which time, in what anguish and griefe of minde I haue liued, God onely knoweth, and you are in some part a witnesse. And nowe if you thinke good to returne, I will not gaine say it:

but this I assure you, if life may be preserued by any meanes, it is in proceeding. For at the Isle of Santa Maria I doe assure you of wheate, porke, and rootes enough. Also I will bring you to an Isle,* 1.25 where Pelicans bee in great abundance, and at Santos wee shall haue meale in great plenty, besides all our possibilitie of intercepting some shippes vpon the coast of Chili and Peru. But if wee returne there is nothing but death to be hoped for: therefore doe as you like, I am ready, but my desire is to proceede.* 1.26 These his speeches being confirmed by others that were in the former voyage, there was a generall consent of proceeding; and so the second of October we put into the South sea, and were free of all land. This night the winde began to blowe ve∣ry much at Westnorthwest, and still increased in fury, so that wee were in great doubt what course to take: to put into the Streights wee durst not for lacke of ground-tackle: to beare sayle wee doubted, the tempest was so furious, and our sayles so bad. The pinnesse came roome with vs, and tolde vs that ••hee had receiued many grieuous Seas, and that her ropes did e∣uery houre fayle her, so as they could not tell what shift to make: wee being vnable in any sort to helpe them, stood vnder our coarses in view of the lee-shore, still expecting our ruinous end.

The fourth of October the storme growing beyond all reason furious, the pinnesse being in the winde of vs, strake suddenly ahull, so that we thought shee had receiued some grieuous sea, or sprung a leake, or that her sayles failed her, because she came not with vs: but we durst not hull in that vnmercifull storme, but sometimes tried vnder our maine coarse, sometime with a had∣dock of our sayle, for our ship was very lee ward, and most laboursome in the sea. This night wee lost the pinnesse, and neuer saw her againe.* 1.27

The fift, our foresayle was split, and all to torne: then our Master tooke the mizzen, and brought it to the foremast, to make our ship worke, and with our spritsaile we mended our fore∣sayle, the storme continuing without all reason in fury, with haile, snowe, raine, and winde such and so mighty, as that in nature it could not possibly be more, the seas such and so lofty, with con∣tinuall breach, that many times we were doubtfull whether our ship did sinke or swimme.

The tenth of October being by the accompt of our Captaine and Master very neere the shore, the weather darke, the storme furious, and most of our men hauing giuen ouer to trauell, we yeel∣ded our selues to death, without further hope of succour. Our captaine sitting in the gallery ve∣ry pensiue, I came and brought him some Rosa solis to comfort him; for he was so cold, that hee was scarce able to mooue a ioint. After he had drunke, and was comforted in heart, hee began for the ease of his conscience to make a large repetition of his forepassed time, and with many grie∣uous sighs he concluded in these words: Oh most glorious God, with whose power the mightiest things among men are matters of no moment, I most humbly beseech thee, that the intoll••rable burthen of my sinnes may through the blood of Iesus Christ be taken from me: and end our daies with speede, or shew vs some mercifull signe of thy loue and our preseruation. Hauing thus en∣ded, he desired me not to make knownen to any of the company his intollerable griefe and anguish of minde, because they should not thereby be dismayed. And so suddenly, before I went from him, the Sunne shined cleere; so that he and the Master both obserued the true eleuation of the Pole, whereby they knew by what course to recouer the Streights. Where withall our captaine and Master were so reuiued, & gaue such comfortable speeches to the company, that euery man reioy∣ced, as though we had receiued a present deliuerance. The next day being the 11 of October, we saw Cabo Deseado being the cape on the South shore (the North shore is nothing but a company of dangerous rocks, Isles, & sholds.) This cape being within two leags to leeward off vs, our ma∣ster greatly doubted, that we could not double the same: wherupon the captain told him: You see there is no remedy, either we must double it, or before noon we must die: therfore loose your sails, and let vs put it to Gods mercy. The master being a man of good spirit resolutely made quicke dispatch & set saile. Our sailes had not bene halfe an houre aboord, but the footrope of our foresaile brake, so that nothing held but the oylet holes. The seas continually brake ouer the ships poope, and flew into the sailes with such violence, that we still expected the tearing of our sayles, or ouer-setting of the ship, and withall to our vtter discomfort, wee perceiued that wee fell still more and more to leeward, so that wee could not double the cape: wee were nowe come within halfe a mile of the cape, and so neere the shore, that the counter-suffe of the sea would rebound against the shippes side, so that wee were much dismayed with the horror of our pres••nt ende. Bee∣ing thus at the very pinch of death, the winde and Seas raging beyond measure, our Ma∣ster veared some of the maine sheate; and whether it was by that occasion, or by some cur∣rent, or by the wonderfull power of God, as wee verily thinke it was, the ship quickened her way, and shot past that rocke, where wee thought shee would haue shored. Then betweene the cape and the poynt there was a little bay; so that wee were somewhat farther from the shoare••

and when we were come so farre as the cape, wee yeelded to death:* 1.28 yet our good God the Father of all mercies deliuered vs, and wee doubled the cape about the length of our shippe, or very little more. Being shot past the cape, we presently tooke in our sayles, which onely God had preserued vnto vs; and when we were shot in betweene the high lands, the wind blowing trade, without a∣ny inch of sayle, we spooned before the sea, three men being not able to guide the helme, and in sixe houres wee were put fiue and twenty leagues within the Streights, where wee found a sea an∣swerable to the Ocean.

In this time we freed our ship from water, and after wee had rested a little, our men were not able to mooue; their sinewes were stiffe, and their flesh dead, and many of them (which is most la∣mentable to bee reported) were so eaten with lice, as that in their flesh did lie clusters of lice as big as peason, yea and some as big as beanes. Being in this miserie we were constrained to put into a cooue for the refreshing our men. Our Master knowing the shore and euery cooue very perfectly, put in with the shore, and mored to the trees, as beforetime we had done, laying our ankor to the seaward. Here we continued vntill the twentieth of October; but not being able a∣ny longer to stay through extremitie of famine, the one and twentieth we put off into the chanell, the weather being reasonable calme: but before night it blew most extreamely at Westnorth∣west. The storme growing outragious, our men could scarcely stand by their labour; and the Streights being full of turning reaches we were constrained by discretion of the Captaine and Master in their accounts to guide the ship in the hell-darke night, when we could not see any shore, the chanell being in some places scarse three miles broad. But our captaine,* 1.29 as wee first passed through the Streights drew such an exquisite plat of the same, as I am assured it cannot in any sort be bettered: which plat hee and the Master so often perused, and so carefully regarded, as that in memorie they had euery turning and creeke, and in the deepe darke night without any doubting they conu••yed the ship through that crooked chanell: so that I conclude, the world hath not any so skilfull pilots for that place, as they are: for otherwise wee could neuer haue passed in such sort as we did.

The 25 wee came to an Island in the Streights named Penguin-isle, whither wee sent our boate to seeke reliefe, for there were great abundance of birds, and the weather was very calme; so wee came to an ankor by the Island in seuen fadomes. While our boate was at shore, and we had great store of Penguins, there arose a sudden storme, so that our ship did driue ouer a breach and our boate sanke at the shore. Captaine Cotton and the Lieutenant being on shore leapt into the boate, and freed the same, and threw away all the birdes, and with great difficultie recouered the ship: my selfe also was in the boate the same time, where for my life I laboured to the best of my power. The ship all this while driuing vpon the Ice-shore, when wee came aboord, we hel∣ped to set sayle, and weighed the ankor; for before our comming they could scarse hoise vp their yardes, yet with much adoe they set their fore-coarse. Thus in a mighty fret of weather the seuen and twentieth day of October wee were free of the Streights, and the thirtieth of Octo∣ber we came to Penguin-isle being three leagues from Port Desire,* 1.30 the place which wee purpo∣sed to seeke for our reliefe.

When wee were come to this Isle wee sent our boate on shore, which returned laden with birdes and egges; and our men sayd that the Penguins were so thicke vpon the Isle, that shippes might be laden with them; for they could not goe without treading vpon the birds, whereat we greatly reioiced. Then the captaine appointed Charles Parker and Edward Smith, with twenty others to go on shore, and to stay vpon the Isle, for the killing and drying of those Penguins, and promised after the ship was in harborough to send the rest, not onely for expedition, but also to saue the small store of victuals in the shippe. But Parker, Smith, and the rest of their faction suspec∣ted, that this was a deuise of the Captaine to leaue his men on shore, that by these meanes there might bee victuals for the rest to recouer their countrey: and when they remembred, that this was the place where they would haue slaine their Captaine and Master, surely (thought they) for reuenge hereof will they leaue vs on shore. Which when our Captaine vnderstood, hee vsed these speeches vnto them: I vnderstand that you are doubtfull of your security through the peruersenesse of your owne guilty consciences: it is an extreame griefe vnto me, that you should iudge mee blood-thirstie, in whome you haue seene nothing but kinde conuersation: if you haue found otherwise, speake boldly, and accuse mee of the wrongs that I haue done: if not, why do you then measure me by your owne vncharitable consciences? All the company know••th indeed, that in this place you practized to the vtmost of your powers, to murther me and the master causeles, as God knoweth, which euil in this place we did remit you: & now I may conceiue with∣out doing you wrong, that you againe purpose some euill in bringing these matters to repetition:

but God hath so shortned your confederacie, as that I nothing doubt you: it is for your Masters sake that I haue for borne you in your vnchristian practizes: and here I protest before God, that for his sake alone I will yet indure this iniury, and you shall in no sorte be preiudiced, or in any thing be by me commanded: but when we come into England (if God so fauour vs) your master shall knowe your honesties; in the meane space be voide of these suspicions, for, God I call to wit∣nes, reuenge is no part of my thought. They gaue him thanks, desiring to go into the harborough with the ship, which he granted. So there were ten left vpon the Isle, and the last of October we entred the harborough.* 1.31 Our Master at our last being here hauing taken carefull notice of euery creeke in the riuer, in a very conuenient place, vpon sandy daze, ran the ship on ground, laying out ankor to seaward, and with our running ropes mored her to stakes vpon the shore, which hee ha•• fastened for that purpose; where the ship remained till our departure.

The third of Nouember our boat with water, wood, and as many as shee could cary, went for the Isle of Penguins: but being deepe, she durst not proceede, but returned againe the same night. Then Parker, Smith, Townelend, Purper, with fiue others, desired that they might goe by land, and that the boate might fetch them when they were against the Isle,* 1.32 it being scarce a mile from the shore. The captaine bade them doe what they thought best, aduising them to take weapons with them: for (sayd hee) although we haue not at any time seene people in this place, yet in the countrey there may be Sauages. They answered, that here were great store of Deere, and O∣striches; but if there were Saluages, they would deuoure them: notwithstanding the captaine caused them to cary weapons, calieuers, sworoes, and targets: so the sixt of Nouember they de∣parted by land, and the bote by sea; but from that day to this day wee neuer heard of our men.* 1.33 The 11 while most of our men were at the Isle, onely the Captaine and Master with sixe others being left in the ship, there came a great multitude of Saluages to the ship,* 1.34 throwing dust in the ayre, leaping and running like brute beasts, hauing vizards on their faces like dogs faces, or else their faces are dogs faces indeed. We greatly feared least they would set our ship on fire, for they would suddenly make fire, where at we much maruelled: they came to windward of our ship, and set the bushes on fire, so that we were in a very stinking smoke: but as soone as they came within our sho••, we shot at them, & striking one of them in the thigh they all presently fled, so that we neuer heard nor saw more of them. Hereby we iudged, that these Canibals had slaine our 9 men. When we c••nsidered what they were that thus were slaine, and found that they were the principall men that would haue mur••h••red our Captaine & Master, with the rest of their friends, we saw the iust iudg••ment of God, and made supplication to his diuine Maiesty to be merciful vnto vs. While we were in this harborough, our Captaine and Master went with the boat to discouer how farre this riuer did run,* 1.35 that if neede should enforce vs to leaue our ship, we might know how farre we might go by water. So they found, that farther then 20 miles they could not go with the boat. At their returne they sent the boate to the Isle of Penguins; whereby wee vnderstood that the Penguins dry••d to our hearts content, and that the multitude of them was infinite. This Penguin hath the shape of a bird, but hath no wings, only two slumps in the place of wings, by which he swimmeth vnder water with as great swif••nes as any fish. They liue vpon smelts, whereof there is great a∣bundance vpon this coast: in eating they be neither fish nor flesh: they lay great egs, and the bird is of a reasonable bignes, very neere twise so big as a rucke. All the time that wee were in this place, we fared passing well with egs, Penguins, yong Sea••es, yong Gulles, besides other birds, such as I know not; of all which we had great abundance. In this place we found an herbe called Scuruy grasse,* 1.36 which wee fried with egs, vsing traine oyle in stead of butter. This herbe did so purge y^e blood, that it tooke away all kind of swellings, of which many died, & restored vs to perfect health of body, so that we were in as good case as whē we came first out of England. We stayed in this harbour vntil the 22 of December,* 1.37 in which time we had dried 20000 Penguins; & the Cap∣taine, the Master, and my selfe had made some salt,* 1.38 by laying salt water vpon the rocks in holes, which in 6 daies would be kerned. Thus God did feed vs euē as it were with Manna frō heauen.

The 22 of December we departed with our ship for the Isle, where with great difficulty, by the skilful industry of our Master we got 14000 of our birds, and had almost lost our captaine in labouring to bring the birds aboord: & had not our Master bene very expert in the set of those wic∣ked tides, which run after many fashions, we had also lost our ship in the same place: but God of his goodnes hath in all our extremities bene our protector. So the 22 at night we departed with 14000 dried Penguins, not being able to fetch the rest, and shaped our course for Brasil. Nowe our captaine rated our victuals, and brought vs to such allowance, as that our victuals might last sixe moneths;* 1.39 for our hope was, that within sixe moneths we might recouer our countrey, though our sailes were ve••y bad. So the allowance was two ounces & a halfe of meale for a man a day,

and to haue so twise a weeke, so that 5 ounces did serue for a weeke. Three daies a weeke we had oile, three spoonfuls for a man a day; and 2 dayes in a weeke peason, a pint betweene 4 men a day, and euery day 5 Penguins for 4 men, and 6 quartes of water for 4 men a day. This was our al∣lowance; wherewith (we praise God) we liued, though weakly, and very feeble. The 30 of Ia∣nuary we arriued at the Ile of Placencia in Brasil,* 1.40 the first place that outward bound we were at: and hauing made the sholde, our ship lying off at sea, the Captaine with 24 of the company went with the boat on shore, being a whole night before they could recouer it. The last of Ianuary at sun-rising they suddenly landed, hoping to take the Portugales in their houses, & by that meanes to recouer some Casaui-meale, or other victuals for our reliefe: but when they came to the hou∣ses, they were all razed, and burnt to the ground, so that we thought no man had remain••d on the Iland. Then the captaine went to the gardens, & brought from thence fruits & roots for the com∣pany, and came aboord the ship, and brought her into a fine creeke which he had found out, where we might more her by the trees, and where there was water, and hoopes to trim our caske. Our case being very desperate, we presently laboured for dispatch away; some cut hoopes, which the coopers made, others laboured vpon the sailes and sh••p, euery man trauelling for his life, & still a guard was kept on shore to defend those that laboured, euery man hauing his weapon likewise by him. The 3 of February our men with 23 shot went againe to the gardens, being 3 miles from vs vpon the North shore, and fetched Cazani-roots out of the ground, to relieue our company in∣stead of bread; for we sp••nt not of our meale while we staied here. The 5 of February being mun∣day, our captaine and master hasted the company to their labour; so some went with the Coopers to gather hoopes, and the rest laboured aboord. This night many of our men in the ship dreamed of murther & slaughter:* 1.41 In the morning they reported their dreames, one saying to another; this night I dreamt, that thou wert slaine; another answered, and I dreamed, that thou wert slaine: and this was general through the ship. The captaine hearing this, who likewise had dreamed ve∣ry strangely himselfe, gaue very streight charge, that those which went on shore should take wea∣pons with them, an•• saw them himselfe deliuered into the boat, & sent some of purpose to guard the labourers. All the foren••one they laboured in quietnesse, & when it was ten of the clocke, the heat being extreme, they came to a rocke neere the woods side (for al this countrey is nothing but thick woods) and there they boyled Cazaui-roots, & dined: after dinner some slept, some washed them∣selues in the sea, all being stripped to their shirts, & no man keeping watch, no match lighted, not a piece charged. Suddenly as they were thus sleeping & sporting, hauing gotten themselues into a corner out of sight of the ship, there came a multitude of Indians & Portugales vpon them, and slew them sleeping: onely two escaped, one very sore hurt, the other not touched, by whom we vn∣derstood of this miserable massacre: with all speed we manned our boat, & landed to succour our men; but we found them slaine, & laied naked on a ranke one by another, with their faces vpward, and a crosse set by them: and withall we saw two very great pinnesses come from the riuer of Ie∣nero very ful of men; whom we mistrusted came from thence to take vs: because there came from Ienero souldiers to Santos, when the Generall had taken the towne and was strong in it. Of 76 persons which departed in our ship out of England, we were now left but 27, hauing lost 13 in this place,* 1.42 with their chiefe furniture, as muskets, caliuers, powder, & shot. Our caske was all in decay, so that we could not take in more water then was in our ship, for want of caske, and that which we had was maruellous ill conditioned: and being there mored by trees for want of cables and ankers, we still expected the cutting of our morings, to be beaten from our decks with our owne furniture, & to be assayled by them of Ienero: what distresse we were now driuen into, I am not able to expresse. To depart with 8 tunnes of water in such bad caske was to sterue at sea, & in staying our case was ruinous. These were hard choises; but being thus perplexed, we made choice rather to fall into the hands of the Lord, then into the hands of men: for his e••ceeding mercies we had tasted, & of the others cruelty we were not ignorant. So concluding to depart, the 6 of Fe∣bruary we were off in the chanell, with our ordinance & small shot in a readines, for any assalt that should come, & hauing a small gale of winde, we recouered the sea in most deepe distresse. Then bemoning our estate one to another, and recounting ouer all our e••tremities, nothing grieued vs more, then the losse of our men twise, first by the slaughter of the Canibals at Port Desire, and at this Ile of Placencia by the Indians and Portugals. And considering what they were that were lost, we found that al those that conspired the murthering of our captaine & master were now slain by saluages, the gunner only excepted. Being thus at sea, when we came to cape Frio,* 1.43 the winde was contrary; so that 3 weekes we were grieuously vered with crosse windes, & our water consu∣ming, our hope of life was very small. Some desired to go to Baya, & to submit themselues to the Portugales, rather then to die for thirst: but the captaine with faire perswasions altered their

purpose of yeelding to the Portugal••s. In this distresse it pleased God to send vs raine in such plenty, as that we were wel watered, & in good comfort to returne. But after we came neere vnto the sun, our dried Penguins began to corrupt,* 1.44 & there bred in thē a most lothsome & vgly worme of an inch long. This worme did so mightily increase, and deuoure our victuals, that there was in reason no hope how we should auoide famine, but be deuoured of these wicked creatures: there was nothing that they did not deuoure, only yron excepted: our clothes, b••ots, shooes, hats, shirts, stockings: and for the ship they did so eat the timbers, as that we greatly feared they would vndoe vs, by gnawing ••hrough the ships side. Great was the care and diligence of our captaine, master, and company to consume these vermine, but the more we laboured to kill them, the more they in∣creased; so that at the last we could not sleepe for them, but they would eate our flesh, and bite like Mosquitos. In this wofull case, after we had passed the Equinoctiall toward the North, our m••n began to fall sick of such a monstrous disease, as I thinke the like was neuer heard of: for in their ankles it began to swell; from thence in two daies it would be in their breasts, so that they coul•• not draw their breath, and then fell into their cods; and their cods and yardes did swell most grie∣uously, and most dreadfully to behold, so that they could neither stand, lie, nor goe. Wh••reupon our m••n grew mad with griefe. Our captain with extreme anguish of his soule, was in such wo∣full case, that he desired only a speedie end, and though he were scarce able to speake for sorrow, yet he perswaded them to patience, and to giue God thankes, & like dutifull children to accept of his chastisem••nt. For all this diuers grew raging mad, & some di••d in most lothsome & furious paine. It were incredible to write our misery as it was: there was no man in perfect health, but the cap∣taine & one boy. The master being a man of good spirit with extreme labour bore out his griefe, so that it gr••w not vpon him. To be short, all our men died except 16, of which there were but 5 able to mooue. The captaine was in good health, the master indifferent, captaine Cotton and my selfe swolne and short winded, yet better then the rest that were sicke, and one boy in health: vpon vs 5 only the labour of the ship did stand. The captaine and master, as occasion serued would take in, and heaue out the top-sailes, the master onely attended on the sprit-saile, and all of vs at the capsten without sheats and tacks. In fine our miscrie and weaknesse was so great, that we could not take in, nor heaue out a saile; so our top-saile & sprit-sailes were torne all in pieces by the wea∣ther. The master and captaine taking their ••urnes at the helme, were mightily distressed and mon∣strously grieued with the most wofull lamentation of our sick men. Thus as lost wanderers vpon the sea, the 11 of Iune 1593. it pleased God, that we arriued at Bear-hauen in Ireland,* 1.45 and there ran the ship on shore: where the Irish men helped vs to take in our sailes, and to more our ship for flooting: which sl••nder paines of theirs cost the captaine some ten pounds before he could haue the ship in safetie. Thus without vic••uals, sailes, men, or any furniture God onely guided vs in∣to Ireland, where the captaine left the master and three or foure of the company to keepe the ship; and within 5 dayes af••••r he and ce••taine others had passage in an English fisher-boat to Padstow in Cornewall. In this maner our small remnant by Gods onely mercie were preserued, and re∣stored to our coun••rey, to whom be all h••nour and glory world w••thout end.
