Unto ours there remained no comfort at all, no hope, no supply either of ships, men, or weapons; the masts all beaten overboard, all her tackle cut asunder, her upper work altogether...
Strana 96 - Bounty have been abused, and my grants turned to the hurt of my people, contrary to my will and meaning ; or if any in authority under me, have neglected or perverted what I have committed to them, I hope God will not lay their culps and offences to my charge...
