the third day after we was taken which was the 18th of April the ship began to make the best of her way for Spite-head and standing into the Channel we had near Like'd to been lost of[f] the Rocks of Scilly, our Brigg being about one half a league a head made the first breech in the Night being close on board the rocks and fired several signal Guns which was answered by our Ship, and before we could put our Ship about the Briggt was afoul of our Quarter and carried away our Ship's Starboard Quarter Gallery our Ship struck twice but did no other damage when we had got clear of the rocks we stretch'd for the Westward in Bristol Channel and took us three days to beat out again, when we met with a gale of wind and carried our Maintopmast by the board Sails all standing about 9 O'Clock at Night rain'd and blow'd very hard the next day erhploy'd about geting up a new top Mast and the riging over head and we almost starv'd not allow'd to go to any part of the Ship without a Sentinel sometimes we had nothing but burgue and Peas, without Salt, butter or Meat ー only what we begged from some of the Sailors as it happen'd there was some of our own Countrymen on board. we arrived at Spitehead, the 30th of April and it is common when a ship comes in from sea for small boats to come of[f] and supply the Ships crew with such necessaries as they stand in need of where we sold what trifle of clothes we had to get supplyed with provisions
