1584 

 these were the beginnings of our sorrowes. After which the 

 said masters mate would not proceed in that voiage, and 

 the owner hearing of this misfortune, and the unwilling- 

 nesse of the masters mate, did send downe one Richard ^ ^^^' master 

 Deimond, and shipped him for master, who did chuse 

 for his Mate one Andrew Dier, and so the said ship 

 departed on her voiage accordingly : that is to say, about 

 the 16 of October, in An. 1583. she made saile from 

 Portsmouth, and the 1 8 day then next following she 

 arrived at Newhaven, where our saide last master Dei- '^^^ "'^^. 

 mond by a surfeit died. The factors then appointed ^^^^^' ^^ ' 

 the said Andrew Dier, being then masters mate, to 

 be their master for that voiage, who did chuse to 

 be his Mates the two quarter masters of the same 

 ship, to wit, Peter Austine, and Shillabey, and for 

 Purser was shipped one Richard Burges. Afterward 

 about the 8 day of November we made saile forthward, 

 and by force of weather we were driven backe againe into 

 Portesmouth, where we renued our victuals and other 

 necessaries, and then the winde came faire. About the 

 29 day then next following we departed thence, and the 

 first day of December by meanes of a contrarie winde, 

 wee were driven to Plimmouth. The 18 day then next 

 following, we made foorthward againe, & by force ot 

 weather we were driven to Falmouth, where we remained 

 untill the first day of January : at which time the winde 

 comming faire, we departed thence, and about the 20 

 day of the said moneth we arrived safely at S. Lucar. 

 And about the 9 day of March next following, we made 

 saile from thence, and about the 18 day of the same 

 moneth we came to Tripolis in Barbarie, where we were 

 verie well intertained by the king of that countrey, and "r^[\plJi^' 

 also of the commons. The commodities of that place are 

 sweete oiles : the king there is a merchant, and the rather 

 (willing to preferre himselfe before his commons) re- 

 quested our said factors to traffique with him, and 

 promised them that if they would take his oiles at his [ll. i. 185.] 

 owne price, they should pay no maner of custome, and
