then blew, they thought it might be more safe to come to anchor under the Island. But the Storm increased so upon them, that they expected all to perish; for after cutting their Masts by the Board, and throwing over their Guns, &c. they were obliged to let down all their Anchors, which, notwithstanding would not preserve them; but the Violence of the Winds and Waves parted their Cables, and they were left entirely to the Mercy of the Sea. In this dangerous Condition, without Mast or Rigging of any Kind, they were toss'd up and down for 3 Days and Nights, and the 4th Day about 9 o'Clock in the Morning, the Storm abated, so after running that great Hazard of their Lives, the Ship's Crew were providentially saved, and got into Appledore Harbour . The Owner gave his Orders immediately to refit, (the Hull of the Ship all the while having received very little Damage) which was accordingly set about, and Burk stay'd till she was compleated, and ready to fail.
