we then divided our selves equally into the Boats and recommending our safety to the abundant Mercies of our Heavenly Guide with a West North-west Wind and indifferent open Water we put to Sea on the thirteenth day of June The twentieth of the same month our Pilot Mr. Barents died the loss of whom dishearten'd us not a little as being the only Guide on whose Conduct next under the Providence of God we relied At last after innumerable dangers and as many miraculous deliverances having Sail'd almost four hundred Dutch miles along the Coast we enter'd the River of Coola in Lapland on the first of September and when the Flood was past we cast our Stones that serv'd us for Anchors aground till the Tyde came in again and then set Sail till Midnight and after that Anchor'd till morning There rowing up the River as we past along we saw some Trees which comforted us as much as if we had enter'd into a new World for all the time that we had been out we had seen none At length we got to a Dutch Ship which we had news of some days before little dreaming it was our Consort that the year before set out with us and left us about the Bear Island There we began to make merry with our old Companions and bid each other welcome then we rowed forward and Landed at Coola Here with the Governors leave we brought our Scute and Boat to the Merchants House and set them up for a Monument of our tedious and never before Sailed Voyage The seventeenth of September we set Sail from thence and on the twenty ninth of October arrived in the Maese and on the first of November got to Amsterdam in our Nova Zembla Clothes and Caps furr'd with white Foxes Skins and were received by our Friends as if we had come from the Dead they having given us over for lost a long while before Metallick History of the Netherlands De Veer's Relation The disastrous Voyage and miraculous Deliverance of P. Quirini a Venetian A Venetian Ship in which were above seven hundred Buts of Wine Spices and other Merchandizes of great value with sixty eight Men set Sail from Candia the Master Piero Quirini on the sixth of November we came by chance into the Mouth of the Channels of Flanders and were driven by a storm from the South towards the North-west The fury of the Winds was so great that it broke five of the Hinges off our Rudder and the storm hourly increasing beat upon our feeble Rudder with such violence that it hung on the one side wherefore for the last Remedy we fasten'd a great Cable to it with which we drew it after us three days in which time in our judgment we had run above two hundred Miles against our wills Afterwards with many pieces of Timber we made a shadow of another and fitted it to the Ship but this also was carried away by the breaking Surges on the twenty sixth of this month so that then we lost all hopes of directing our Ship On the fourth of December the Winds grew so outragious that they carried away our third Sail and so we wander'd at adventure not knowing by what means to provide for our safety Afterwards the rage and violence of the Winds increasing the Sea began to swell so high that the Waves seem'd Mountains and our Terror was augmented by the darkness of the extream long Nights so that we seem'd to be swallow'd up in the bottomless Depths of the Abyss It 's hard to imagine how great the anguish and trembling of our hearts was living in a continual expectation of Death In the middle of this horrible darkness we sometimes saw the Heavens as it were open'd with sudden flashes of dazling Lightning Sometimes we seem'd to touch the Stars and at other times saw our selves buried in Hell insomuch that we lost both Strength Whilst we remain'd useless Spectators of this woeful Tragedy pitifully beholding one another a rolling Billow came over the Ship with so great fury that it was fill'd almost half full of Water so that she turn'd up her Keel and lay as if she had been ready to sink But Heaven forsaketh not them that Religiously call upon him and strengthen'd our sorrowful hearts We cut down the Main-mast and threw it over-board together with the Main-yard and Tackling which eased the Ship very much so that we began to cast out the Water which at last we over-came though not without great difficulty and pain The day appearing we agreed to make ready the Boat and Skiff and parted equally our small remainder of Provisions forty two persons were willing to enter into the Skiff and therefore we were forc'd to cast Lots who should go therein it being capable only of one and twenty The Master and forty seven more enter'd the Boat unto whom ratably fell their proportion of Victuals We were in our judgment distant from the nearest Land or Island above five hundred miles and then came to Sail in a quiet Sea for some time but a dark Mist arising in the Night we lost sight of the Skiff and never saw it more The Morning appearing we were much troubled that we could see no tokens of the Skiff which made us fear the worst and suspect what had befaln them for the Storm was so furious that an impetuous Billow rushed into the Pinnace behind the Poop where I was with so great violence that two Stays were batter'd and bent by the vehemency of the Shock which filled our hearts with consternation and terror for now was the Pinnace more charged with the weight of the Water than with her own burthen but Necessity set us all a working and fear of so imminent a danger made the feeblest of us bestir themselves and fall to lading it out with their hands and being in a dreadful hurry we threw over-board all that lay in our way As soon as we had drain'd the Pinnace the Storm continuing we agreed to cast out some Casks of Wine to lighten her which we did with so great haste and precipitancy that we had soon reduc'd our selves to such extremity that if we desir'd to taste of that chearing Liquor to restore our drooping Spirits we were forc'd to content our selves with one Goblet apiece every day which was all that could be allowed to each of us and if any could not satisfie his parch'd Throat with this he was constrain'd to have recourse to the brackish Liquor that threaten'd to swallow us up every moment But all this was Luxury in respect of what our cruel Destinies reserv'd for us this Measure of Wine held out only a Week with us at the end of which our tormenting fears quite exhausting our small store constrain'd us to diminish our proportion to half a Goblet a day each Man Thirst was not the only nor greatest Misery that attended our deplorable and forlorn Company perpetual Terror and distracting Doubts did so disturb our afflicted Minds that we

could never compose our selves securely to sleep and notwithstanding our tottering Limbs were hardly able to sustain our sinking Bodies we were forc'd to tug hard Night and Day both at Helm and Pump being at the same time almost frozen to Death with intolerable cold which was incomparably more grievous than that which to the admiration of all Men not many years ago cover'd all the Channels at Venice with thick and impenetrable Ice And now the compassionate Reader may consider how lamentable our case was we wanted Clothes to fence us from the pinching cold our Meat and Drink fail'd us and we remain'd amidst the Horrors of an unknown and stormy Ocean destitute not only of all comforts but even of necessaries to sustain our fainting Bodies and lest any thing should be wanting to compleat our Misery the Nights were twenty one hours long and very dark The growing cold now began to produce terrible effects of its cruelty among us we were all of a sudden seized with a certain numness which began at our Feet and then gradually ascending over-run our whole Bodies causing in us a disorder'd and raging appetite which was no small addition to our Sorrow for every Man endeavoured to filch what he could from his Neighbour and Ransacking every corner greedily devour'd all he could find Then did Death Tyrannize among us and you might see here one and there another breathe out a broken sigh shake his giddy Head and fall down dead on a sudden In which extremity of forty seven Men which made up our desolate Company twenty six gave up the Ghost and this was so far from being a Wonder considering our helpless condition that it was certainly a Miracle of Divine Bounty that any of us were preserv'd alive to Celebrate the never-failing goodness of our Almighty Deliverer and exalt the Glory of his power These twenty six died between the twenty third of December to the fifth of January and found their Graves in the bottom of the merciless Ocean And now the last day of this disastrous year presented us with a dismal prospect of unavoidable Ruine for our little stock of Wine was wholly exhausted and the sad experience of our dead and dying Companions taught us that the Sea-water with which we were wont to delude the intolerable fury of our Thirst did only hasten our approaching Death so that not knowing what to do we forc'd our own Water down our Throats How deplorable and heart-breaking an object was it to see some gasping Wretches whose parcht Entrails refus'd to furnish any moisture with dying groans and rueful looks imploring the favour of a small draught of the Urine of their Companions who either unwilling to part with what they fear'd would quickly be spent or rather unable to spare any from themselves refus'd to save the Lives of their dearest Friends at the expences of a small quantity of that unsavory Liquor which was the only means left to preserve their own 'T is true some of us had the prudence to temper it with a little Sirrup of Green Ginger and Lemons which by Providence was not yet consum'd At last when there was no hopes left when Despair and Paleness were painted on our hollow Cheeks and the Grim-King of Terrors in the most frightful shape star'd us in the Face then did our pitiful Redeemer stretch forth his helping Hand and on the third of January 1431. we descry'd Land afar off being a ledge of ragged Rocks cover'd to the top with huge Mountains of Snow and lying to the weather of us But it seems Fortune still ow'd us a spite for the Winds being contrary we durst not spread our Sails and our feeble Arms were altogether unable to manage the Oars so that a strong current driving us along we lost sight of Land and all our Hopes together But magnified be the wonderful Goodness of our God we escaped safe out of a Deluge of Dangers in which we were almost over-whelmed for having been long toss'd and batter'd by the Cruelty of outragious Gusts among the Death-threatning points of lurking Rocks which by reason of the horrible darkness of the tedious Night we could not avoid at last fear of Death and desire of Life inspiring us with unwonted Vigour we enter'd into a Bay between two steep Rocks No sooner did our Pinnace touch upon the Sand but five of our men made desperate by tormenting Thirst leap'd into the Sea without knowing the depth thereof which was considerable and making haste towards the Snow thrust such great quantities down their insatiable Throats that they seem'd to delight in glutting themselves therewith at length they return'd Laden with huge quantities thereof which we also gulp'd down very greedily Now from the time that we left the Ship until January 6. being eighteen days we made account according to our best Judgments that we had run two thousand five hundred miles at least without seeing Land for Sailing all that time between the East and North-east points of the Compass we never hand less Wind than after the rate of six miles in an hour On the forementioned day being the Feast of Epiphany Nineteen of us went ashore on this desolate and barren Island called the Isle of Saints which lies on the Coast of Norway and belongs to the King of Denmark leaving only two men to look to the Boat Being Landed we retired to a place that was cover'd from the fury of the piercing Winds and kindled a Fire by means of a Tinder-Box and an Oar the sight of which was very comfortable to us But perceiving that this Island was Uninhabited we resolved to go to another which we descry'd about five miles distant But alas our Pinnace was so Leaky that despairing to be ever able to fit her out for the Sea again we drew her not without great pain to Land and determin'd to make a little Hovel of her to shelter us from the violence of the Weather To accomplish which we divided her into two parts of the first and greater of which we made a Shed for Thirteen of us and of the lesser another for the rest covering them with part of our Sails and reserving the remainder with the Cordage for Fuel to comfort our frozen Limbs And now being utterly destitute of all Sustenance to preserve our wretched Lives we wander'd along the shore to gather some small quantity of Periwinkles and Barnackles which by chance we found there and removing the Snow in some places we found certain Herbs which we boiled with Snow in our Caldron and then eat them through extream Necessity Thus did we live for thirteen days together if I may call that Life which was spent in perpetual agonies and terrors and deserveth rather the Name of a lingring Death In the middle of these extremities four of our Companions of the greater Shed unable to hold out longer under the insupportable weight of misery that overwhelm'd us gave up the Ghost notwithstanding all the
