<p n="724">We have an Account that several Dutch and<lb></lb>
Hamburgh Merchant ships homeward bound<lb></lb>
from their respective Ports to the River<obscured></obscured>
<lb></lb>
the Texel and other Ports on that Coast, having<lb></lb>
been long bearing the Sea at the Months of those<lb></lb>
Rivers and Ports whither they were bound, and<lb></lb>
finding it impossible to get in because of the<lb></lb>
Ice, and that great Mountains of Ice appear'd<lb></lb>
at Sea, by which they were in danger of being<lb></lb>
enclos'd and crush'd to pieces, they made off<lb></lb>
to Sea, and are come into our Ports. One of<lb></lb>
these Ships having lain some time near a great<lb></lb>
piece of Ice floating in the Sea, saw a small<lb></lb>
Vestel inclosed in the same; they could discern<lb></lb>
some to be alive therein, but making Signals<lb></lb>
of great Distress, but they durst not by any<lb></lb>
means venture to give them any Relief. They<lb></lb>
likewise affirm, that upon a strong Wind which<lb></lb>
raised the Sea to be something rough, a great<lb></lb>
piece of Ice broke off from the rest, having<lb></lb>
several hundred people upon it, and went off<lb></lb>
to Sea. What became of the people they can<lb></lb>
give no account, only that they saw several<lb></lb>
boats at work to get to them, which they<lb></lb>
believe it would be very difficult to do, and if<lb></lb>
not, they must all inevitably perish, either with<lb></lb>
Cold, or in the Sea.</p>
