An eyewitness account describes a merchant galley’s storm-driven voyage toward New England that ends when the vessel strikes a rocky islet. The narrative follows the crew’s desperate struggle to cut away masts, reach the slippery shore through freezing seas, and survive on a tiny, craggy rock while exposed to snow and rain. The author records practical efforts to salvage provisions and ammunition, expressions of supplication and thanksgiving, accounts of aid from nearby gentlemen, and denunciations of coastal plundering, all presented in a plain, factual style intended to correct earlier imperfect reports.
