[Sidenote: Gentlemen should haue inhabited the Countrey.] But before I
proceede any further herein, to shew what fortune befell at our departure,
I will turne my penne a litle to M. Captaine Fenton, and those Gentlemen
which should haue inhabited all the yeere in those Countries, whose valiant
mindes were much to be commended: For doubtlesse they had done as they
intended if lucke had not withstoode their willingnesse.

For the Barke Dionyse which was lost, had in her much of their house which
was prepared and should haue bene builded for them, with many other
implements. Also the Thomas of Ipswich which had most of their prouision in

away with vs.

[Sidenote: An house tricked and garnished with diuers trinkets.] But before
we tooke shipping, we builded a litle house in the Countesse of Warwicks
Island, and garnished it with many kinds of trifles, as Pinnes, Points,
Laces, Glasses, Kombes, Babes on horsebacke and on foote, with innumerable
other such fansies and toyes: thereby to allure and entice the people to
some familiaritie against other yeeres.

Thus hauing finished all things we departed the Countrey, as I sayd before:

sound to take in a little more. In the meane while the Admirall, and the
rest without at Sea stayed for her. And that night fell such an outragious
tempest, beating on our shipps with such vehement rigor, that anchor and
cable auailed nought: for we were driuen on rockes and Islands of yce,
