a.d. THE ENGLISH VOYAGES 



IS77- 



The seventeenth of September we sounded, and had 

 forty fadome, and were not farre off the lands end, finding 

 branded sand with small wormes and Cockle shells, and 

 were shotte betweene Sylley and the lands ende, and 

 being within the bay, we were not able to double the 

 pointe with a South and by East way, but were faine 

 to make another boord, the wind being at Southwest and 

 by West, and yet could not double the point to come 

 cleere of the lands end, to beare along the channel : 

 and the weather cleered up when we were hard aboord 

 the shore, and we made the lands end perfit, and so put 

 up along Saint Georges chanel. And the weather being 

 very foule at sea, we coveted some harborough, because 

 The arrival of our steerage was broken, and so came to ancor in Padstow 

 the Aide at X02i c\ i n Cornewall. But riding there a very dangerous 

 Cornwall roa de, we were advised by the countrey, to put to Sea

 was nothing but present perill where we roade : where-

 whence we were againe driven, being but an open roade, 

 where our Anker came home, and with force of weather 

 put to Seas againe, and about the three and twentieth 

 Our comming of September, arrived at Milford Haven in Wales, which 

 to Milford being a very good harborough, made us happy men, that 

 we had received such long desired safetie. 



About one moneth after our arrivall here, by order 



from the Lords of the Counsell, the ship came up to 



The arrhall Bristow, where the Ore was committed to keeping in the 



of the Gabriel Castel there. Here we found the Gabriel one of the 



Barkes, arrived in good safetie, who having never a man 



within boord very sufficient to bring home the ship, after 



the Master was lost, by good fortune, when she came 



upon the coast, met with a ship of Bristow at sea, who 



conducted her in safety thither. 



The Michael Here we heard good tidings also of the arrivall of the 



"SirthaVu* other Barke called the Michael > in the North P arts > which 

 was not a little joyful unto us, that it pleased God so 



to bring us to a safe meeting againe, and wee lost in
