ABSTRACT
A.D. } The expedition consisted of two small vessels called 1612. THE PATIENCE and THE HEART's EAsE. When the
ships started, is not apparent; but, on the 1st of July, they were in a place called CocKIN's SouND. From thence they pro-
eeeded towards the river "where the supposed mine should be". The weather, however, proving stormy, with the wind from the northward, they were constrained, on the 21st, to put into RAMELSFORD; and here the master, Hall, was slain by a savage : who, u with his darte, strooke him a deadly wound upon the right side". The unfortunate man was the only person assailed ; and he is supposed to have fallen a victim to revenge, from the fact of his having been associated, on a former visit, with the Danes: who, it is said, u out of that river carried away five of the people, whereof never any returned againe ; and in the next river l{illed a great number''.
