難船人帰朝記事 大谷穐次郎
高岡郡宇佐浦の筆之丞（当時38歳）こと傳蔵、同人の弟（24歳）重助、同人の弟（16歳）五左衛門、同浦両浜の同所（6歳）寅右衛門、博多郡中浜浦の萬次郎（15歳）
右の者たちは、宇佐浦の傳蔵所有の小船を使って、ホタ（別名沖魲とも言う）釣り漁業のため、船に飯米二斗並びに薪・水・灯火などを積み込み、去る天保十二年（辛丑の年）正月五日朝四つ時に宇佐浦を出航した。奥津崎まで行き、そこで船を停泊させた。同六日、同所を出航し南洋へ乗り出し、拼縄で小魚を少々釣り上げ、その岬にある白浜で夜を明かした。同七日早朝、地嵐によって沖の方へ押し流される中、風が止み、周囲に二十艘ほどの船があり、その船はすべて沖高く乗り出したが、傳蔵の船は艫艪が弱いため、足摺山から五、六里ほど沖合で縄を張って鯖を釣り上げていたところ、昼頃に追い風が吹き始めたので縄を上げ、帆で陸地の方へ寄せようとしたが、また凪になった。拼縄をかける間に北西風が吹き出し、海上が非常に荒れたため、拼縄を半分捨てて陸地へ漕ぎ寄せようとしたが、風がますます強くなり、思うように船を操れなくなった。一同が力を尽くして働いたものの、艫艪が...

Records of Shipwrecked People's Return to Japan Ōtani Akijirō
Denzō (also known as Fudenosuke, then 38 years old) from Usa-ura, Takaoka District; Jūsuke, his brother (24 years old); Gozaemon, his brother (16 years old); Toraemon from Ryōhama in the same bay (6 years old); and Manjirō from Nakahama-ura, Hakata District (15 years old).
These individuals used a small boat owned by Denzō of Usa-ura for fishing hota (also called okishiira) and loaded the boat with two to of rice, firewood, water, lanterns, and other supplies. They departed from Usa-ura at the fourth hour of the morning on the fifth day of the first month of Tenpō 12 (the year of the Metal Ox). They proceeded to Okitsu Cape and anchored there. On the same sixth day, they departed from the same location and sailed out into the southern ocean, caught a few small fish with drift lines, and spent the night at a white beach near that cape. On the morning of the seventh day, they were blown offshore by local winds, but when the wind calmed, there were about twenty boats around them, all of which had sailed out to deeper waters. However, since Denzō's boat had weak stern oars, they were fishing for mackerel with lines about five or six ri offshore from Mount Ashizuri. Around noon, when a following wind began to blow, they raised their lines and tried to sail toward shore with their sail, but it became calm again. While setting their drift lines, a northwest wind began to blow and the sea became extremely rough, so they discarded half their drift lines and tried to row toward shore, but the wind grew even stronger and they could not maneuver the boat as desired. Although everyone exhausted their strength working together, the stern oars...
