Ship sets sail
It was not long until the ship had set sail, that the people started getting sick. People that had diseases were spreading them around, making their conditions worsen and making them start to die off.
"And yet the Lord so upheld these persons as in this general calamity they were not at all infected either with sickness or lameness” (32). -
A Bully On The Ship
God helped the pilgrims get rid of the bully and put everyone at ease again. The bully had gotten karma, he got the disease, and died.
“But it pleased God before they came half seas over, 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.” -
Ship falls apart
The ship started to fall apart. Until someone was able to fix it, they had a little complications with sailing on their way.
“And as for the decks and upper works, they would caulk them as well as they could, and though with the working of the ship they would not long keep staunch [watertight], yet there would otherwise be no great danger, if they did not overpress her with sails. So they committed themselves to the will of God and resolved to proceed” (30). -
Arriving in Cape Cod
Arriving in Cape Cod, they were thankful they finally had arrived after that long journey and they fell on the land praising God.
“Being thus arrived in a good harbor, and brought safe to land, they fell upon their knees and blessed the God of heaven who had brought them over the vast and furious ocean, and delivered them from the perils and miseries thereof, again to set their feet on the firm and stable earth, their proper element…” (30-31). -
Squanto
The pilgrims had learned many things from this interpreter that had taught them. The interpreter had helped them all the way up until he had passed.
“…But Squanto continued with them and was their interpreter and was a special instrument sent of God for their good beyond their expectation. He directed them how to set their corn, where to take fish, and to procure other commodities, and was also their [guide] to bring them to unknown places for their profit, and never left them till he died”
