Monday the 12th, at day-light, launch’d the long-boat, and gave her the name of the Speedwell, (which God preserved to deliver us) we got all the provision on board, and other necessaries.  The captain sent for the lieutenant, myself, and the carpenter, desiring us to leave him what could be spared, and to send to the deserters to know if they will go in the yawl to the northward, we promised to grant him his request.  To-day every body got on board.  The captain, surgeon, and Mr H——­n, had their share of provisions equal with us.

Tuesday the 13th, we sent the barge to the deserters, with Mr S——­w, the mate, to know if they were willing to tarry, and go with the captain to the northward, to acquaint them what provision and necessaries should be allow’d ’em:  They readily agreed to tarry.  On the return of the boat, deliver’d to the captain the share of provision for the deserters, and sundry necessaries, as under-mentioned, viz.

Six hand-grenadoes, five half barrels of powder, two caggs of musket-balls, Lieutenant H——­n’s pistols and gun, one pair of pistols for the captain, twelve musket-flints, six pistol-flints, sundry carpenter’s tools, half a pint of sweet oil, two swords of the captain’s own, five muskets, twelve pistol balls, one bible, one azimuth compass, one quadrant, and one Gunter’s scale.
