The party with which Winthrop sailed arrived at Salem June 12, 1630, after a nine weeks' voyage, in which they were exposed to stormy and boisterous weather.

He came back an hour or so ago and woke me up and gave me this outfit and told me my whiskers looked like the infernal regions and that I had better shave even offered to shave me, himself." "But he has been drinking. Where did he get the liquor?" "The same place he got the clothes, I guess. He said he met a friend and borrowed them," smiled Endicott. "Well, it's nothing to laugh at.
