244 extraordinary instances, &c.
in the quarrel, and among them her faithful servant.—Tli£
survivors being now reduced to five or six persons, beside^
lhe lady, these bodies lasted them some time ; but just as
’they arrived within sight of the lands’ end of England, they
found themselves involved in another calamity, being driven
so near shore by the large shoals of ice, that they could
not disengage the ship. Here they were again compelled
to remain, till all but two persons, besides Carpinger and
the lady, were dead, and even these two were so reduced
by weakness, that they could not leave their cabins. At
length the persuasions of Carpinger upon the lady, not to
use any violence to het own person being attended to, he
ventured by the'help of a plank, to attempt crossing the ice
towards the shore, and taking charge of her and a casket
•of jewels, in six hours time they were safely landed, and as
soon as convenient, took up a temporary residence at a pri-
vate house at Plymouth ; the master of which, in conclud-
ing this narrative, observes of Carpinger, that <c the lady
4eems much to favour him ; and when the time of mourn-
ing is over, will undoubtedly make him happy in her em-
braces.” This narrative is dated Plymouth, Feb. 2, 1683,
ajid attested by John Cross and William Atkins,—Seamen,
TO THE EDITOR OF KIREy’s MUSEUM.
Sir,1—Your ready attention in inserting part of my
communications, I acknowledge with pleasure ; according
to promise, I forward the remaining part of the list of
Remarkable Deaths.—I intend shortly to send you several
Remarkable Accounts, which, I flatter myself, will be
found more worthy of insertion than the foregoing.—I ap-
prove of your Work exceedingly, as do a number of my
friends, on account of its being Original.—Wishing you
every success, I remain, yours, &c.
My 4ti, O, A.”
