IN THE "SLEEVE".

unreddie, and no cabbins appoynted for passingeres, I was
constrainede to go into the towne for my Lodginge and
Diette, till the thirtenthe Daye in the After nowne, at
which time anker was wayed and we under sayle, untill we
came to Deale Castell.
Cominge to Deale Castell, thare we came to an anker,
for the wynde sarved not to pass by Dover. Thar our ship
stayed fouer dayes for a wynde. In the meane time we
wente a shore into the towne of Deale, and also to Sand-
wiche, to make our selves merrie. When the wynde came
fayer, it was in the nyghte, and diverse of us that weare
passingcrs, and also som saylcrs, weare in the towne of
Deale, wheare som of our company had dranke verric
mochc, espetialy one of our five Trumpeters, who, beinge
in Drinke, had Lockid his Chamber dore; and when he
that came from the ship to call us went under his chamber
wyndoe and caled him, he Came to the wyndoe and in-
sulted him ; whear upon we wente all a waye a borde our
ship, and lefte that Dronkerde be hinde. Thar the wynde
sarvinge well, we sayled merraly by Dover, and so a longe
the Sieve.1
But beinge aboute 30 leages at sea, sodonly thare cam a
contrarie wynde, the which did prove a marvalus greate
storme for the space of eyghte and fortie houres. In the
nyghte we did not only louse our pinis caled the Lanerett,2
who was to goo with us to the gulfe of Venis, but we also
loste our selves, not knowinge whear we weare by Reason
the fogge was so greate that we could se no son. When it
began anythinge to cleare, we founde our selves to be harde
upon the ponie stones3 betwyxt Ingland and Ierlande, a
