two days his wife died, when he put back
for a nurse. With much difficulty he
procured one, and again put 10 sea-
When three days out the nurse was taker
with the scurvy, of which disease she was
afflicted the whole voyage, and conse

goat died, and from that time till the ar

so seriously felt in the West at this time,
