B. at the three Bibles neer the West end of Pauls Chrch-Yard A Relation of Mr. John Cooks passage by Sea from Wexford to Kinsale being in the great Storm on Jannuary the 5th The Lord is then best praised when we acknowledge him to be his own praise I Annuary the first 1649. We embarqued from Wexford in the Hector for Corke sayled two or three leagues beyond Greenor-bay but were driven back the wind turning upon us upon the Saturday following the wind being fair we got within sight of Dungarvan that night proved very windy and about four in the morning on the Lords day a very tempestuous wind arose and the storm was the greatest that ever any of the Sea-men knew as they said the wind was at South-east very thick we hoped to fetch Corke being within a mile of the shore but could not possibly make land in that distress we put to sea hoping by that way to save life the wind continued all that Sabbath day at South-east South-east and by South and South South-east which if the wind had held at south-east as it was in the morning we could not have doubled the point about the land but had been east upon the rocks we bore two courses to keep off from the shore all the day and being as we supposed about the pitch of the Cape Cleere at nine on Sabbath day night we shipt a great Sea which split and carryed away our foresaile and so were forced to bring to a fore-top fail to keep from the shore and to here that fore tope-saile till two in the night in which time we were formed to cut our Anchor from the bough to save the ship from foundring we having at that time five foot water in the hold The Monday morning we were ten leagues to leeward of the Cape Cleere and the wind was up at South-west then we made all the sayl possible to fetch some harbour and it pleased God we made the Cape hoping to fetch Baltamore but the wind coming up at South-east and by east we were forced to Sea again all the night the wind continuing at South-east South-east and by South and South-South-east Tuesday we made the Misne head and could fetch no harbour the wind being still at South-east Wednesday the wind came up at West and we made for shore again and came up as high as Gally-head hoping to fetch Kinsale about three in the after-noone the wind came up at East South-east and then we hoped to recover Castlehaven before night and made for it and in our running in the Wind veared at South-east and blew very fresh and we still hoping to gain the harbour ranin knowing no other way to save life the Wind being so contrary it grew extraordinary thick rained and blew much we fired three or four pieces of Ordnance for lights and saw one light from the Castle as we supposed and two other lights to the Eastward which put us to an amazement not knowing whether they were friends or enemies and could not possibly see the going into the Harbour but were in the very breach of the shore the sight whereof caused a great scrik in the Ship and thereupon brought our Ship to hoping thereby to have come to an Anchor which if we had done we had been past all hopes of life the Rock being so neer would have cut our Anchor but God being most merciful in that nick of time the Sea-men despairing of life the Wind at an instant came up at East which carryed us into the Sea and yet so great was the danger that if the Wind did not turn again to the West in less than half an hour we were dead men by reason of the Rocks called the Staggs so we came in a little time within sight of the Rocks the Wind driving us strongly upon them and then seeing the Rocks within a Ships length of us we put our Ship to stay which she would not the Sea being so extremely grown the Sea-men being at their wits end wishing us to prepare for death the Lord again at that very instent caused the wind to come up at South-west which carryed us out into the Sea cleer from the Rocks where we had the Wind favourable that night and blessed be God on Thursday we came into Kinsale it being the first Harbour that the Lord was pleased to give us but that which is most admirable is this that so soon as the Ship was come into Kinsale Harbour she leaked so very much that the Sea-men came the next morning and told us that they were almost drowned that night and could scarce keep the ship alive in the Harbour and were forced the next tide to bring her to the Key and at the Ebb to repair her and had much ado to keep her from sinking This being the method of Gods dealing with us in our passage Now concerning the work of God upon my spirit during the storm thus it was Towards the evening of the Sabbath day Jannuary the 5. my heart was exceeding sad and sorrowfull even unto death a dark night approaching and the ship taking in much water my spirit fainted and my heart sunk within me the sorrows of death caught hould of me much grieved I was for my poor dear heart who did not express half so much fear as my self many sweet expressions she used in prayers wishing me to call earnestly upon God many words I could not use but my heart was praying it almost broke my heart to think what my wives friends would say in England that I should bring her into Ireland to drown her though I bless God she never repined at it troubled I was likewise for my poor servants that came
