In sundry of these storms the winds were so fierce and the seas so high, as they could not bear a knot of sail, but were forced to hullig for
divers days together. And in one of them, as they thus lay at hull in a
mighty storm, a lusty young man called John Howland, coming upon
some occasion above the gratings was, with a seele[10]
of the ship,
halyards[ii] which hung overboard and ran out at length. Yet he held his
hold (though he was sundry fathoms under water) till he was hauled
up by the same rope to the brim of the water, and then with a boat
hook and other means got into the ship again and his life saved. And
though he was something ill with it, yet he lived many years after and
became a profitable member both in church and commonwealth. In all
this
voyage there died but one of the passengers, which was William
Butten, a youth, servant to Samuel Fuller, when they drew near the
coast.
Sundry: various or assorted.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

one of the central themes of edward abbey's work has been his staunch opposition to the glen canyon dam on the colorado river that created lake powell, destroying stunning scenery and wildlife habitat, endangering many rare species of fish and animals, and also irreparably destroying many important archaeological sites which provided information about the early inhabitants of the united states.
