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
