bravity, and estimation, videlicet Master Lawrence Hussie, Doctor of
the Civil Law, and George Gilpin, with money and other requisites,
into the realm of Scotland, to comfort, aid, assist, and relieve him
and his there, and also to conduct the ambassador into England,
sending with them by post a talmack or speechman, for the better
furniture of the service of the said ambassador, trusting thereby to
have the more ample and speedy redress of restitution; which
personages, using diligence, arrived at Edinburgh (where the Queen's
Court was) the three-and-twentieth day of the said month of
December, who, first visiting the said ambassador, declaring the
causes of their coming and commission, showing the letters addressed
in his favour, the order given them for his solace and furniture of
all such things as he would have, together with their daily and
ready service to attend upon his person and affairs, repaired
consequently to the Dowager Queen, delivering the letters.

Whereupon they received gentle answers with hope and comfort of
speedy restitution of the goods, apparel, jewels, and letters; for
the more apparance whereof the Queen sent first certain
commissioners with a herald of arms to Pettislego, the place of the
shipwreck, commanding by proclamation and other edicts all such
persons (no degree excepted) as had any part of such goods as were
spoiled and taken out or from the ship, to bring them in, and to
restore the same with such further order as Her Grace by advice of
her council thought expedient; by reason whereof, not without great
labours, pains, and charges, (after a long time) divers small
parcels of wax, and other small trifling things of no value, were by
the poorer sort of the Scots brought to the commissioners; but the
jewels, rich apparel, presents, gold, silver, costly furs, and such-
like, were conveyed away, concealed, and utterly embezzled.
