William Bradford Of Plimouth Plantation
September 6, 1620.
All being compact together in one ship, we put to sea with a prosperous wind, which continued for many days, which was some encouragement to us; yet many were afflicted with seasickness. And I may not omit here a special work of God's providence. There was a proud and very profane young man, one of the seamen, of a lusty, able body, who would always be condemning the poor people in their sickness and cursing them daily. He told them that he hoped to help cast half of them overboard before they came to their journey's end. But it pleased God before the journey was not yet half complete, to smite this young man with a grievous disease, of which he died in a desperate manner, and so was himself the first that was thrown overboard.
