Humbly presented to the Honourable House of Commons , That the Transport did endeavour to hire Ships to carry Provisions to Newfoundland , but it being so late in the Year were generally refused because it was so extreamly dangerous to undertake ; They would not run the hazard of their Shipping and Men in so difficult an Undertaking .

THAT the said Degrave and Minshall with others , who understood the Country and Dangers thereof , being informed that the said Country must needs perish except they were supplied , did conclude amongst themselves to run all Dangers whatever to perform so great a Service as they found that would be to His MAJESTY and GOVERNMENT ; and so forthwith did Contract with the Transport to perform the same , and did agree to be paid out of that Years Funds ; so that then their Ships did proceed accordingly , tho' when they came on the Coast , it being so late in the Year , they underwent great hardships and losses both in the Rigging and Sails , and other Inconveniencies both to Men and Ships ; so that in Seven Sail but Four could attain to the Relief thereof ; and yet notwithstanding this Service was faithfully performed with so great a difficulty and loss , and to be paid out of the Funds as aforesaid , there is no satisfaction as yet received by the Performers thereof , altho' the Accompts are settled , made up and allowed by the Transport .

All which is Humbly submitted to the Consideration of this Honourable House .
