       Humphrey of London all three from Barbadoes bound for the Capes of Virginia but on their
       Passage he met with Currents which set him much more to the Westward then he reckoned
       himself and on the Seventeenth of this Present August at 11 Clock at Night found the afs.d
       Schooner to stake the Ground at Noon of the same Day he reckon'd himself in the Longitude
