But the Delight had on board 5It. 5Iaga'oth, who wrote the story of her passage out and home. She reached the Strait of Magellan, where sickucss, want of resources, and other misfortunes led to a resolution to return without succeeding in the objects of the voyage. The sole survivor of tile miscrahle colouists who had hcen abandoned to their fate hy Caw,ndish was found at Port Famine and taken on board the Delight, but he died on the passage to Europe. The ship was wrecked on the coast of France, and only a fen' survivors found their way home agMu, including 5It. 5Lgroth, the historian of the voyage.

Carendish also fitted out a second expedition, which he mis- managed and which was a total failure. He himself reached the Strait of Magellan, shaped a course homeward. and died on the passage. Another ship deserted and returned.

The interest of this expeditiou lies in the fact that Johu l)avis, the great Arctic navigator, commanded one of the ships, with the idea of ,ttempting to make the voyage intended hy Drake, from the coast of New Albion, round North America, to the Atlantic.

But again he was met, on passing ('ape Pilar, by a furious storm. with hMl and snow, and with such a sea running that the people expected every moment to bc their last.

At length, worn out with fatigue and tile desperate struggle against the elements, even Davis hegan to despond. The sails were nearly worn out. The foot-rope of the foresail bad parted, so that nothing held it hut the cringles or eyelet-holes in the clews. The
