and a good wrastler, shewed his companion such a Cornish tricke, that he
made his sides ake against the ground for a moneth after. And so being
stayed, he was taken aliue and brought away, but the other escaped. Thus
with their strange and new prey our men repaired to their boates, and
passed from the maine to a small Iland of a mile compasse, where they
resolued to tarrie all night; for euen now a sodaine storme was growen so

[Sidenote: The great danger of these rockes of yce.] This day also were
diuerse stormes and flawes, and by nine of the clocke at night the storme
was growen so great, and continued such vntill the morning, that it put our
