This boystrous storme so seuered vs from one another, that one shippe knewe not what was become of another.  The Admirall knewe not where to finde the Viceadmirall or Rearadmirall, or any other ship of our company.  Our Generall being on land in Beares sound could not come to his shippe, but was compelled to goe aboord the Gabriel where he continued all the way homeward:  for the boystrous blasts continued so extreamely and so long a time, that they sent vs homewarde (which was Gods fauour towardes vs) will we, nill we, in such haste as not any one of vs were able to keepe in company with other, but were separated.  And if by chance any one Shippe did ouertake other, by swiftnesse of sayle, or mette, as they often did:  yet was the rigour of the wind so hidious, that they could not continue company together the space of one whole night.

[Sidenote:  Our entring the coastes dangerous.] Thus our iourney outward was not so pleasant, but our comming thither, entering the coasts and countrey, by narrow Streights, perillous yce, and swift tides, our times of aboade there in snowe and stormes, and our departure from thence the 31. of August with dangerous blustering windes and tempests, which that night arose, was as vncomfortable:  separating vs so as we sayled, that not any of vs mette together, vntill the 28. of September, which day we fell on the English coastes, betweene Sylley and the landes ende, and passed the channell, vntill our arriuall in the riuer of Thames.
