for_o they_o that_o drink_v it_o be_v distemper_v in_o their_o head_n and_o trouble_v with_o the_o scour_n in_o their_o body_n but_o i_o be_v not_o distemper_v yet_o i_o can_v not_o neither_o do_v i_o

that_o time_n we_o have_v be_v three_o week_n in_o our_o boat_n our_o ginger_n be_v spend_v and_o our_o poor_a carpenter_n die_v on_o the_o 22._o of_o october_n in_o the_o morning_n we_o see_v the_o

of_o the_o clock_n in_o the_o afternoon_n we_o get_v on_o shore_n at_o the_o windward-island_n it_o be_v very_a smooth-water_n for_o we_o go_v in_o over_o a_o ledge_n of_o rock_n but_o when_o we_o assay_v to_o go_v out_o of_o the_o boat_n we_o be_v so_o weak_a and_o giddy_a we_o can_v not_o go_v nor_o hardly_o stand_v then_o we_o have_v one_o cake_n of_o bread_n for_o a_o man_n leave_v and_o seven_o inch_n of_o water_n in_o our_o hogshead_n thus_o be_v it_o a_o complete_a month_n before_o we_o come_v to_o land_n after_o our_o ship_n be_v sink_v our_o clothes_n be_v rot_v upon_o our_o

crab-hole_n out_o of_o which_o we_o drink_v but_o the_o water_n be_v brackish_a we_o catch_v one_o of_o the_o crab_n and_o pluck_v off_o its_o claw_n and_o tear_v it_o to_o piece_n and_o do_v eat_v of_o it_o very_o hearty_o we_o catch_v as_o many_o as_o we_o can_v carry_v on_o a_o string_n to_o the_o seaside_n to_o the_o rest_n of_o our_o crew_n who_o be_v afraid_a to_o eat_v they_o till_o they_o see_v we_o do_v it_o before_o they_o but_o yet_o we_o can_v find_v no_o fresh_a water_n when_o night_n come_v we_o hall_v up_o our_o boat_n as_o high_a as_o we_o can_v out_o of_o the_o surfe_n and_o take_v the_o oar_n and_o sail_n we_o make_v a_o tent_n against_o the_o rock_n for_o to_o lie_v in_o but_o i_o will_v not_o lie_v out_o of_o the_o boat_n but_o keep_v the_o tarpaulin_n and_o lay_v under_o it_o all_o night_n most_o part_n of_o the_o night_n it_o do_v rain_n and_o blow_v very_o hard_o with_o thunder_n and_o lightning_n this_o supply_v we_o with_o rain-water_n all_o the_o time_n we_o be_v there_o which_o we_o find_v in_o the_o hole_n of_o the_o rock_n in_o the_o morning_n we_o go_v abroad_o again_o to_o seek_v for_o somewhat_o to_o eat_v and_o then_o we_o find_v a_o shellfish_n which_o be_v call_v soldier_n and_o they_o we_o do_v eat_v the_o island_n on_o which_o we_o be_v be_v but_o little_a not_o above_o a_o mile_n over_o but_o there_o be_v many_o other_o island_n and_o rock_n but_o no_o inhabitant_n on_o any_o of_o they_o whilst_o we_o be_v here_o one_o of_o our_o company_n die_v in_o ten_o day_n time_n be_v on_o the_o shore_n we_o have_v pretty_a well_o recover_v our_o strength_n and_o have_v hall_v up_o our_o boat_n we_o overset_a she_o and_o mend_v she_o as_o well_o as_o we_o can_v and_o consider_v it_o be_v better_a to_o put_v to_o sea_n in_o the_o night_n than_o in_o the_o day_n a_o hour_n before_o day_n we_o sit_v out_o our_o boat_n and_o out_o we_o row_v without_o any_o great_a danger_n by_o that_o time_n the_o sun_n be_v rise_v we_o have_v clear_v ourselves_o off_o the_o rock_n and_o set_v up_o our_o sail_n before_o the_o wind_n we_o scud_v about_o a_o league_n along_o the_o shore_n and_o there_o we_o see_v as_o it_o be_v a_o harbour_n so_o in_o we_o go_v and_o be_v a_o large_a place_n we_o sail_v before_o the_o wind_n till_o two_o of_o the_o clock_n in_o the_o afternoon_n then_o we_o go_v on_o shore_n to_o get_v something_o for_o dinner_n which_o we_o make_v upon_o black_a crab_n and_o soldier_n after_o dinner_n we_o come_v to_o sail_v again_o and_o sail_v before_o the_o wind_n with_o the_o land_n on_o both_o side_n of_o we_o when_o night_n come_v we_o go_v on_o shore_n to_o get_v our_o supper_n and_o lodging_n thus_o for_o fourteen_o night_n time_n all_o the_o food_n we_o have_v be_v raw_a crab_n and_o soldier_n but_o here_o we_o can_v take_v no_o rest_n for_o the_o musheeloes_n about_o two_o hour_n before_o day_n we_o come_v to_o sail_v again_o before_o the_o wind_n and_o by_o that_o time_n it_o be_v day_n we_o have_v clear_v ourselves_o off_o that_o island_n then_o we_o can_v see_v the_o island_n of_o porterecco_n and_o there_o we_o go_v on_o shore_n to_o look_v for_o crab_n to_o our_o supper_n but_o we_o can_v find_v none_o but_o we_o find_v a_o river_n of_o freshwater_n and_o thereof_o drink_v our_o fill_n but_o nothing_o we_o have_v to_o eat_v we_o lay_v on_o the_o beach_n on_o the_o shore_n all_o night_n and_o can_v hear_v the_o noise_n of_o dog_n and_o cattle_n which_o make_v we_o fearful_a of_o the_o negro_n in_o the_o morning_n early_o we_o fit_v ourselves_o to_o sail_n and_o when_o we_o have_v launch_v our_o boat_n and_o all_o of_o we_o in_o my_o mate_n go_v on_o sh●ar_n and_o say_v nothing_o to_o we_o so_o we_o think_v he_o have_v go_v to_o untruss_v a_o point_n there_o we_o tarry_v about_o a_o hour_n and_o go_v on_o shore_n to_o look_v after_o he_o but_o in_o vain_a then_o we_o sail_v before_o the_o wind_n along_o the_o shore_n where_o we_o see_v abundance_n of_o wild_a cattle_n in_o a_o savanagh_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o three_o of_o we_o can_v do_v to_o steer_v the_o boat_n with_o a_o oar_n for_o we_o have_v lose_v our_o rudder_n at_o the_o virgin_n island_n at_o ten_o or_o eleven_o of_o the_o clock_n in_o the_o forenoon_n we_o espy_v a_o sail_n in_o the_o offin_n sail_v before_o the_o wind_n as_o we_o be_v we_o edge_v off_o to_o she_o and_o she_o in_o towards_o we_o in_o a_o little_a time_n we_o come_v to_o speech_n with_o they_o so_o they_o hail_v we_o and_o ask_v of_o we_o from_o whence_o we_o be_v to_o who_o we_o brief_o make_v know_v

and_o every_o one_o his_o small_a shot_n they_o take_v we_o aboard_o and_o we_o be_v very_o welcome_a to_o they_o and_o they_o to_o we_o the_o master_n name_n be_v robert_n hammons_n he_o ask_v i_o

to_o see_v how_o god_n have_v provide_v for_o we_o now_o victual_n be_v somewhat_o scarce_o with_o they_o but_o we_o have_v part_n of_o what_o they_o have_v the_o next_o night_n about_o midnight_n the_o master_n of_o the_o shallop_z and_o four_o man_n with_o he_o take_v my_o boat_n and_o every_o man_n his_o small_a shot_n with_o a_o barrel_n for_o water_n and_o go_v on_o shore_n for_o
