    "1647. This spring we of Roxbury w'th some of Dorches[t]er ventured to sea in a small vessell but the master wanted sufficient experience, & the vessel overmasted & was over-sett, & many weeks after came whole allmost, ashore to shew the error of men to goe to sea so rawly: many m'r cast away in her m'ris stoughtons eldest sonne, m'r Howards Eldest sonne w'th many others." Rev. John Eliot, paster of the Church in Roxbury.
