all gathered in the may-Flower there was a new choice of officers (though no record is found of it), as Cushman vacated his place and went back to London, and we find that, as noted before, on November 11 the colonists “confirmed” John Carver as their “governour,” showing that he had been such hitherto.  Doubtless Martin was deposed at Southampton (perhaps put into Cushman’s vacant place, and Carver made “governour” in his stead.)]

Monday, Sept. 11/Sept. 21
                              Same; and so without material change, the
                              daily record of wind, weather, and the
                              ship’s general course—­the repetition of
                              which would be both useless and wearisome
                              —­continued through the month and until the
                              vessel was near half the seas over.  Fine
                              warm weather and the “harvest-moon.”  The
                              usual equinoctial weather deferred.

                              One of the seamen, some time sick with a
                              grievous disease, died in a desperate manner.

                              voyage.
