September 1602



Sept. 16–29	310. Court Minutes of the East India Company. A journal from Capt. Waymouth read with intelligence that the pinnaces are returned to Dartmouth; commission to be sent to Capt. Waymouth to bring them to London, and if he be sick and cannot fulfil the contents of the commission, to give orders, according to his discretion, for the speedy bringing them about. Orders to be sent to the two pursers to the effect that, since it has pleased God to bring them no better success in their intended discovery, they would be careful to preserve such things as remain in the pinnaces, to serve for a second adventure. A general court to be summoned to meet on the morrow.
	Sept. 17.—Mr. Cartwright, preacher, being examined whether he could give any intelligence of the sudden return of the pinnaces, refers the Company to Capt. Waymouth's journal, and alleges that by reason of his ignorance in navigation he cannot further satisfy them. The commission to Capt. Waymouth and letter to the pursers, agreed to be sent yesterday, approved of.
	Sept. 29.—Concerning the long stay of Capt. Waymouth, if the Company do not hear from him within three or four days, a fit man to be sent down "to take [care] for their coming away." [Two pages. Court Bk., I., 95–96.]
