[Sidenote: Proximus sum egomet mihi.] The Captaine now with his Pinnisse
being come neere the shoare, commanded his Boate carefully to be kept
aflote, lest in their necessitie they might winne the same from him, and
seeke first to saue themselues: for euery man in that case is next
himselfe. They haled one another according to the manner of the Sea, and
demaunded what cheere? and either partie answered the other, that all was
well: whereupon there was a sudden and ioyful outshoote, with great
flinging vp of caps, and a braue voly of shotte to welcome one another. And
truely it was a most strange case to see how ioyfull and gladde euery
partie was to see themselues meete in safetie againe, after so strange and
incredible dangers: Yet to be short, as their dangers were great, so their
God was greater.
[Sidenote: Captain York arriued.] And here the company were working vpon
new Mines, which Captaine York being here arriued not long before, had
found out in this place, and it is named the Countesse of Sussex Mine.
After some conference with our friends here, the captaine of the Anne
Francis departed towards the Countesse of Warwicks sound, to speake with
the Generall, and to haue tryall made of such mettall as he had brought
thither, by the Goldfiners. And so he determined to dispatch againe towards
his ship. And hauing spoken with the General, he receiued order for all
causes, direction as well for the bringing vp of the Shippe to the
Countesses sound, as also to fraight his Ship with the same Oare which he
himselfe had found, which vpon triall made, was supposed to be very good.
The 23. of August, the sayde Captaine mette together with the other
Captaines (Commissioners in counsell with the Generall) aboorde the Ayde,
where they considered and consulted of sundry causes, which being
particularly registred by the Notarie, were appoynted where and how to be
done against another yeere.
