Notes:  "An act for the governing and retaining within this island all
such rebels convict as by His most sacred Majesties order or
permit, have been or shall be transported from his European
dominion to this place," dated: the fourth day of January,
1685, p. 6-11.
"1. Of the occasion of his being engaged in the Dukes service,
2. Of his tryal, condemnation, and transportation to
Barbadoes, with the most severe and unchristian acts made
against him and his fellow-sufferers, by the governour and
general assembly of that island, 3. How he made his escape in
a small open boat with some of his fellow captives, namely Jo.
Whicher, Peter Bagwell, William Woodcock, Jo. Cooke, Jeremiah
Atkins, &c., and how miraculously they were preserved on the
sea, 4. How they went ashore on a uninhabitable island, where
they met with some privateers that burnt their boat, and left
them on that desolate place to shift for themselves, 5. After
what manner they lived there for about three moneths, until
the said Henry Pitman was taken aboard a privateer and at
length arrived safe in England, 6. How his companions were
received aboard another privateer that was afterwards taken by
the Spaniards and they all made slaves, and how after six
months captivity they were delivered and returned to England
also."
