her with the Ships planke Vpon this we resolued and by May brought it to that passe that she was ready to be ioyned together to receyue the planke But God mercifully prouided otherwise for vs We indured a bitter cold winter in which it pleased God to visit vs with sicknesse so that in the beginning of May 1632. there was but my selfe and the Master and Surgeon perfectly sound and he began to finde some defect also About the beginning of Aprill we began to digge the Ice out of our Ship which by the middle of May we had effected The 24. of May the Ice began to breake vp betwixt the Ship and the shoare and about the middle of Iune we had off our Ship and found her to be stanch and sound contrary to all our expectations Before this time about the middle of May our Carpenter dyed and with him the hope of our Pinnace Master Wardon dyed the 6. of May our Gunner Richard Edwards had his legge broken which was cut off at the Capstang in August 1631. and languished till the 22. of Nouember on which day he dyed These three men lye buried here vnder these Tombes of stones We lost another man one Iohn Barton our Quarter-Master who mis-carried in the little Bay that is due West from this Crosse 3. mile the Ice breaking vnder him so that he sunke downe and we neuer saw him more The two Pictures which are wrapt in lead and fastened vppermost on this Crosse are the liuely pictures of our Soueraigne Lord and Lady Charles the first and Queene Mary his wife King and Queene of England Scotland France and Ireland c. The next vnder that is his Maiesties Royall Armes the lowermost is the Armes of the City of Bristoll And now we are in a readinesse to depart this day and I intend to prosecute our discouery to the West-ward in this Latitude of 52. 03. and to the South-ward also although with little hope Failing there I meane to haste to Diggs Iland and indeauour to discouer to the North-ward Thus hauing had some experience of the dangers of the Ice shoalds and Rockes of vnknowne places I thought it necesary to leaue this testimony of vs and our indeauours if God should take vs into his heauenly Kingdome and frustrate our returne into our natiue Countrey Wherefore I desire any noble minded Trauailer that shall take this downe or come to the knowledge of it that he will make relation of it to our Soueraigne Lord the Kings Maiesty and to certifie his Grace that we cannot as yet finde any hope of a passage this way and that I doe faithfully perseuer in my seruice accounting it but my duty to spend my life to giue his Maiestie contentment whom I beseech God to blesse with all happinesse And that they would likewise aduertise our worshipfull Aduenterers of all our fortunes and that if as afore-said wee perish it was not by any want or defect in Ship or victuall or other necessaries all which we haue in abundance for foure moneths and aboue which if occasion be wee can prolong to sixe moneths Thus being at present vnable to expresse a gratefull mind otherwise but in my prayers to God I heartily beseech him to powre out his bountifull blessing vpon all their honest indeauours and to continue their noble dispositions in Actions of this kinde And I faithfully promise that if I shall come where the like Letters and Tokens shall be left to make a true relation of it as it shall be desired So desiring the happinesse of all mankinde in our generall Sauiour Christ Iesus I end Charleton Iuly the second 1632.
