Reading edition
Hawkridge is said to have accompanied Button in the voyage of 1612. In 1619 he was in command of an expedition in search of the North-West Passage which proved a failure. Subsequently he was captured with his ship and cargo, valued at £2000, by the pirates of Algiers and held to ransom. See Christy, Voyages of Foxe and James (Hakluyt Soc.).
