And in Sea causes to have as assistants, Christopher 

 Hall and Charles Jackman, being both very good Pilots, 

 and sufficient Mariners, whereof the one was chiefe Pilot 

 of the Voyage, and the other for the discoverie. From 

 the place of our habitation Westward, Master Selman was 

 appointed Notarie, to register the whole maner of pro- 

 ceeding in these affaires, that true relation thereof might 

 be made, if it pleased her Majestie to require it. 



The first of August every Captaine by order, from 

 the Generall and his councell, was commanded to bring 

 ashoare unto the Countesses Hand all such Gentlemen, 

 souldiers, and Myners, as were under their charge, with 

 such provision as they had of victuals, tents, and things 

 necessary for the speedy getting together of Mine, and 

 fraight for the shippes. 



The Muster of the men being taken, and the victuals 

 with all other things viewed and considered, every man 

 was set to his charge, as his place and office required. 

 The Myners were appointed where to worke, and the 

 Mariners discharged their shippes. 



Upon the second of August were published and 

 proclaymed upon the Countesse of Warwicks Hand with 

 sound of Trumpet, certaine Orders by the Generall and 

 his councell, appoynted to be observed of the company 

 during the time of their abiding there. 



In the meane time, whilest the Mariners plyed their 

 worke, the Captaines sought out new Mynes, the Gold- 

 finers made tryall of the Ore, the Mariners discharged 

 their shippes, the Gentlemen for example sake laboured 

 heartily, and honestly encouraged the inferiour sort to 

 worke. So that the small tyme of that little leisure 

 that was left to tarrie, was spent in vaine. 



The second of August the Gabriel arrived, who came 

 from the Vizeadmirall, and beeing distressed sore with 

 Yce, put into Harborough neere unto Mount Oxford.
