It Was Not Until The "Third Party" Of Exploration From Cape Cod Harbor Was Organized And Set Out, On Wednesday,

December 6, that he appeared as one of the company who put out in the shallop, to seek the harbor

Which had been commended by Coppin, "the second mate." On this eventful voyage - when the party narrowly escaped shipwreck at the mouth of Plymouth harbor - they found shelter under the lee of an island, which (it being claimed traditionally that he was first to land there on) was called, in his honor, "Clarke's Island," which name it retains to this day. No other mention of him is made by name, in the affairs of ship or shore, though it is known inferentially that he survived the general illness which attacked and carried off half of the ship's company. In November, 1621, - the autumn following his return from the Pilgrim voyage, - he seems to have gone to Virginia as "pilot" (or "mate") of the FLYING HART, with cattle of Daniel Gookin, and in 1623 to have attained command of a ship, the PROVIDENCE, belonging to Mr. Gookin, on a voyage to Virginia where he arrived April 10, 1623, but died in that colony soon after his arrival. He seems to have been a competent and faithful man, who filled well his part in life. He will always have honorable mention as the first officer of the historic MAY-FLOWER, and as sponsor at the English christening of the smiling islet in Plymouth harbor which bears his name.
