Note 394 — AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF PHINEAS PETT (continued 2)

Gibbons, who was Button's cousin, went in the Resolution as a volunteer. In 1614 he went out again in the Discovery in command, but this voyage proved a complete failure. Button had a very high opinion of him, and so, apparently, had Pett. For an account of the voyages, see Rundall, Narratives of Early Voyages (Hakluyt Soc.), and Christy, Voyages of Foxe and James to the North-west (Hakluyt Soc.).
