This is a true LIST compared by Me ROD. MACKENZIE Scry. to the said Company.
NO doubt, every one will justly Regret the loss of his own nearest Freind, but it's a great and General Mercy that; of so many as went Crowded in Five Ships, upon so long and tedious a Voyage as they had, so few are dead; Especially considering, that on their way they had the misfortune of taking in bad Water, upon an Ʋninhabited Island, in the beginning of the Rainy Season, which occasioned general Sicknss among them; tho' soon after their Landing in Caledonia (thanks be to GOD) they Recovered their Health so much (even beyond expectation) that, when the Express came away, there were but Five of all our Men who were not at Work in Building of Forts and Houses. And as even a greater Number of so many as went, might have died by this time, had they all remain'd at Home; so it may be some Satisfaction to the nearest Friends of the deceased that their Names shall stand upon Record as being amongst the first Brave Adventurers that went upon the most Noble, most Honourable, and most Promising Ʋndertaking that Scotland ever took in Hand.
