It was midnight when the ship struck. Assoon as it was light the passengers and crew succeeded in reaching theshore in their boats through the breakers and through vast masses offloating ice. They found upon the shore a bleak, barren, treeless waste, "withoutweeds, grass or timber of any sort to make a fire. " It was bittercold. A fierce wind swept the ocean and the land, and the sea ran sohigh that it was expected every moment the ship would go to pieces. These poor emigrants thus suddenly hud...dled upon the icy land, withoutfood and without shelter, were in imminent peril of perishing fromcold and starvation. Their sufferings were so terrible that they were rejoiced to see someIndians approaching over the wide plains, though they knew not whetherthe savages would prove hostile or friendly. But the Indians came likebrothers, aided them in every way, and dispatched two swift runnersacross the island to inform Governor Stuyvesant of the calamity. Somesails were brought on shore, with which a temporary shelter from thepiercing blast was constructed, and enough food was secured to savefrom absolute starvation.
