Where by Extraordinary Hardships, and the Extremities of the late great Frost, several of the Seamen and others Miserably Perish'd; and for want of Provision, Cast-Lots for their Lives, and were forced to Eat one another; And how a Dutch Merchant Eat part of his own Children, and then Murdered himself because he would not Kill his Wife: with the Miraculous Preservation of George Carpinger an English Seaman, and the Dutch Merchants Wife, now a Shore at Plymouth.
