But as I was very uncertain what time that might take up, I determined on having provisions, iaistruments of divers 58 THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES kinds, aiifl necessary utensils in plenty, to guard against acci- dents as well as I couki. I therelore took another sea-c-hest out of the hold of the ship, and letting it into my boat, replenished it with a stock of wine, brandy, oil, bread, and the Uke, sufficient for a considerable voyage. I also filled a large cask with Avater, and took a good quanti...ty of salt to cure what fish I should take by the way. I carried two guns, two brace of pistols, and other arms, with ammunition proportionable; also an axe or two, a saw to cut wood if I should see any, and a few other tools which might be lii2;hly serviceable if I could land. To all these I added an old sail, to make a covering for my goods and artillery against the weather. Thus furnished and equipped, having secured my hatches on board and every thing that might spoil by wet, I set out, with a God's speed, on my expedition; com- mitting myself once more to Providence and the main ocean, and proceeding the same way I went the first time.
