midnight
The order was therefore given for embarkation , and in two hours the whole fleet , after a loss of about seven hundred men , was again on its way to Ternate . Krantz and Philip this time embarked in the same peroqua , that they might have the pleasure of each other 's conversation . They had not , however , sailed above three hours when it fell calm , and , towards the evening , there was every prospect of bad weather . When the breeze again sprung up , it was from an adverse quarter , but these vessels steer so close to the wind , that this was disregarded : by midnight however the wind had increased to a gale , and before they were clear of the N.E. headland of Tidore , it blew a hurricane and many were washed off into the sea from the different craft , and those who could not swim , sank , and were drowned . The sails were lowered , and the vessels lay at the mercy of the wind and waves , every sea washing over them . The fleet was drifting fast on the shore , and before morning dawned , the vessel in which were Philip and Krantz was among the rollers on the beach off the northern end of the island . In a short time she was dashed to pieces , and every one had to look out for himself .
