'A
dreadful storme and hideous began to blow from out the North-east,
which swelling, and roaring as it were by fits, some houres with
more violence than others, at length did beat all light from heaven;
which like an hell of darknesse turned blacke upon us...We were
forced to run her to ashoare... We found it to be the dangerous
and dreaded Iland, or rather Ilands of the Bermuda ... so terrible
to all that ever touched on them, and such tempests, thunders and
other fearful objects are seen and heard, that they be called commonly,
The Devils Ilands.'
