The list included men of all ages, and of different ranks and circumstances. Thomas Weston, agent for the Merchants, now came from London to conclude the final arrangement ; and Carver and Cushman were again sent over — the former to South- ampton, the latter to London — to receive the necessary funds, and to make preparations for the voyage. Two small vessels had been purchased — one in Holland, called the " Speedwell," of only sixty tons burthen, partly to serve as a transport, and partly as ...a fishing boat, for service in America; the other, called the " Mayflower," of a hundred and eighty tons burthen, was to await their arrival in England, where it was probable they would be joined by a few of their fellow-separatists firom London. All things being at length arranged, those who had decided to go prepared for their long voyage. The brief notices of the parting scene given by Winslow and Bradford, eye-witnesses and sharers of its bitterness, possess a biblical simplicity and pathos far beyond the most laboured description.
