And say●ing alongest the South partes of England westward wée at length came by the coaste of Ireland at Cape Cleare the sixth of Iune and gaue chace there to a small barke which was supposed to be a Pyrat or Rouer on the Seas but it fell out in déede that they were poore menne of Bristowe who hadde mette with suche company of Frenchmen as hadde spoyled and slayne manye of them and left the rest so sore wounded that they were lyke to perishe in the Sea hauing neyther hande nor foote hole to helpe themselues withall nor victuals to susteyne theyr hungrie bodyes Oure Generall who well vnderstandeth the office of a Souldioure and an Englishman and knoweth well what the necessity of the sea meaneth pitying much the miserie of the poore men releiued them with Surgerie and salues to heale their hurtes and with meate and drinke to comfort their pining hartes Some of them hauing neither eate nor drunck more than oliues stinking water in many days before as they reported And after this good déed done hauing a large winde we kept our course vppon our sa●de voyage withoute staying for the taking in of freshe water or any other prouision whereof many of the fléete were not throughly furnished and sayling towardes the Northwest partes from Ireland we mette with a greate currant from oute of the Southwest which carryed vs by our reckning one point to the Northestwardes of our said course whiche currant séemed to vs to continue it selfe towardes Norway and other the Northeast partes of the World whereby we may be induced to beléeue that this is the same whiche the Portugalles méete at Capo d'buona speranza where striking ouer from thence to the straytes of Magellanes and finding no passage there for the narrownesse of the sayde straytes runneth alongst into the greate Bay of Mexico where also hauing a let of lande it is forced to strike backe agayne towardes the Northeast as we not only héere but in another place also further to the Northwardes by good experience this yeare haue founde as shall be héereafter in his place more at large declared Nowe had wée sayled aboute fouretéene dayes without sight of any land or any other liuing thing except certayne Fowles as Wylmots Nodies Gulles c. whiche there séeme only to liue by Sea. The twentith of Iune at two of the clocke in the morning the Generall descryed land and found it to be Weast Freeseland now named Weast England Héere the Generall and other Gentlemen wente ashore being the fyrste knowen Christians that we haue true notice of that euer set

any Ship or Shippes any Ore or stone or other commoditie whatsoeuer were had or found in the land called Meta Incognita before they come in the place appoynted which is against Dartford créeke in the Riuer of Thames and then and there to deliuer none to anye person or persons but such as shall be appoynted by hir Highnesse most honorable priuie Counsell vpon the payne and danger abouesayd 5 Item forasmuche as in my voyage hither bounde I landed vpon Freeseland and diuers other of the said Fléete which land I named West England from which lād some brought stones Ore and other cōmodities whereby hereafter they might vse coulorable meanes to conuey as well Ore stones and other things found in the abouesayd land I do therefore charge euery person and persons in the sayd Fléete to deliuer or cause to be deliuered al maner of Ore stones and other commodities founde as well there as héere to the Captaynes of euery Shippe or Shippes to be redeliuered by him or them to the Generall

Treasourer of the companye by whome hée or they shall haue order from the Lordes of the priuie Councell what they shall do 8 Item forasmuch as sundry of the Fléetes companies haue had lent thē Crowes

Su●lex Mine by the Aydes companye and are yet kept from their knowledge by such as wrought at the sayd M●ne which instruments do apperteyne to the righte honorable and worshipfull company of the abouesayde discouerie I do therefore charge all Captaynes and Maysters of euery Shippe or Shippes to make it knowen to his or their companyes to the end that all such instrumentes as well those lente as those that are otherwise deteyned and kept away may be agayne restored and broughte aboord the Admirall vpon payne and danger expressed in the third Article By me Martin Frobisher The Fleetes returning homevvard HAuing nowe receyued Articles and direction for oure returne homewardes all other things being in forwardnesse and in good order the last day of August the whole Fléete departed from the Countesses sound excepting the Iudith and the Anne Frances who stayed for the taking in of fresh water and came forth the next daye and mette the Fléete lying off and on athwart Beares sounde who stayed for the Generall which then was gone ashore to dispatch the two Barkes and the Busse of Bridewater for their loading whereby to get the companyes and other things aboorde The Captayne of the Anne Frances hauing most part of his company ashore the first of September went also to Beares sound in his Pinnesse to fetch hys men aboorde but the winde grew so great immediately vppon their landing that the Shippes at Sea were in great danger and some of them hardly put from their Anckers and greately feared to be vtterly lost as the Hopewell wherein was Captayne Carew and others who could not tell on which side their danger was most for hauing mightie Rockes threatning on the one side and driuing Ilands of cutting Ise on the otherside they greatly feared to make shipwrack the Ise driuing so neare thē that it touched their borde sprete And by meanes of the sea that was growne so hie they were not able to put to seas with their smal Pynnesses to recouer their shippes And againe the ships were not able to tarrie or lye athwarte for them by meanes of the outrageous windes swelling seas The General willed the Captaine of the Anne France with his companye for that nighte to lodge aboorde the Busse of Bridgewater went himself with the rest of his men aborde the barkes But their numbers were so great and the prouision of the Barkes so scant that they pestered one another excéedingly They had good hope that the nexte morning the weather woulde be fayre wherby they might recouer their shippes But in the morning following it was farre worse for the storme contin●ed greater the sea being more swollen the Fléete gone quite out of sighte So that now their doubts beganne to growe great for the ship of Bridgewater which was of greatest receit and wherof they had best hope and made most accompt roade so far to leewarde of the harborow mouth that they were not able for the rockes that lay betwéene the winde and them to leade it out to sea with a sayle And the Barkes were so alreadie pestered with mē and so slenderly furnished of prouision that they had scarce meate for sixe dayes for such numbers The Generall in the morning departed to sea in the Gabriel to seke for the Fléete leauing the Busse of Bridgewater and the Michael behinde in Be●res sound The Busse set sayle and thought by turning in the narrowe channell within the harborow to get to windewarde but b●ing put to léewarde more by that meanes was fayne to come to Ancker for hir better safetie amongst a number of rockes and there left in great danger of euer getting forth againe The Michaell set sayle to follow the Generall and could giue the Busse no reliefe although they earnestly desired the same And the Captaine of the Anne Frances was le●●e in ha●de election of two euils either to abide his fortune with the Busse of Bridgewater which was doubtfull of euer getting forthe or else to be towed in his smal Pinnesse at the s●●rne of the Michael thorow the raging seas for that the Barke was not able to receiue or releeue halfe his company wherin his daunger was not a little perillous So after resolued to committe himselfe withall his company vnto that fortune of God and sea hée was
