Tony, here goes my take on it: On the twelfth day of the month of November of the year one thousand seven hundred and thirty eight, sank off the coast of the Island of Pico, one boat of this parish mastered by Domingos Dias da Rosa, dying three men of this parish, who are, *Manoel Correia Pereira* husband of Barbara de Sousa of the age of fifty years more or less who was buried in the Misericordia in the town of Sao Roque of the Island of Pico. There were no offerings for his soul for he was poor and leaving debt; *Luis Pereira* husband of Maria de Sao Jose at the age of sixty years more or less it is understood he did not resurface; nothing was arbitrated/charged for he was poor and it is not known of the debts contained in his inventory constative to what will be done for his soul: and *Paschoal de Sousa* son of Paschoal de Sousa Leal who is also understood did not resurface. His Father ordered a Ceremony for his soul and to celebrate twenty-five masses be said. For the record I’ve issued this record which I signed on the sixteenth day of the same month and year.
