" New Eng. Hist. Gen. Reg. , " XL, p. 62. Brown : " Genesis of the U. S. , " II, p. 974, But whatever hesitancy may be felt in asserting a third American voyage by Captain Pring, the evidence of his continuing interest in American affairs is derived from other and less doubtful sources and may perhaps add to the probability of the third voyage. It appears that in 1621, while on the home- ward voyage from Japan in the James Royal, the ship's chaplain, the Reverend Patrick Copland, had gathered f...rom the " gentlemen and mariners " on board the sum of 70 8s 6d towards the building of a free school in Virginia. The largest single amount subscribed was 6 13s 4d by Pring himself and " so decreasing to one shilling. " This Mr. Copland had attended Sir Thomas Dale at his death-bed in Masuli- patam, August, 1619, and had on that occasion prob- ably heard much of Virginia's needs from the lips of her former governor, then dying in the eastern trop- ics. At least talk of America and inquiries concern- ing Virginia were frequent on Dale's lips.
