4 A Voyage, &c 



Second Sail- That Day, the Wind coming about to the Eaft, we 



^m7 W ^ econ( ^ tlmQ ^ rom t ' ie R° ac * of Ranee but 



. Malo. no f oone j. were we out 0 f t j ie Mouth of the Road, than 



we were oblig'd to come to an Anchor, for fear of run- 

 ning, during the Night, upon the Rocks, near which 

 Ships muft pafs to go into the Channel. The Wind 'was 

 at N.N. E. and a rolling Sea made us pitch fo vio- 

 lently, that the Cable fnap'd as foon as the Anchor had 

 taken hold. Thus were we oblig'd to go and anchor 

 again at the Mouth of the Bay de la Frenaye, where we 

 had an ill Night. 



The next Morning we fail'd, to look for our An- 

 chor, with the Mar% to which the like Accident had 

 befallen ; and file found hers, but ours was loft, becaufe 

 the Buoy was flipp'd away. Whilft we were looking 

 for it, a Calm came upon us, and then we anchor'd a 

 third time, a League and half from the Caftle de la Latte y 

 to wait till the Wind, which fhifted every Moment^ 

 would fix at fome Point. 



At Break of Day we would have fail'd out to Sea; 

 but our Cable appearing to have been gnaw'd within 

 thirty Foot of the Anchor, it was thought fit to cut 

 it, and fetch another at the Town, and make good 

 the Anchor we had loft; and therefore we drew near; 

 making a Waft with our Colours. We made a Signal, 

 by firing a Gun, that we wanted Affiftance $ and then re- 

 turn' d to anchor a fourth time fince this fecond Coming 

 out, under the Caftle de la Latte. Immediately two 

 Officers were fent away to fetch what we wanted j which 

 they did the next Morning. 



We lay there eight Days longer, waiting for an Eaft 

 Wind, nothing worth noting befalling us. That time 

 we fpent in flowing the Ship, which being too heavy 

 upwards, could not carry much Sail, as we had found 

 by Experience the Day we came out the fecond time.
