Twice the ships were forced to return to port, first to Dartmouth and then Plymouth, because of serious leaking in one. Finally, the leak ing ship, the Speedwell, was abandoned and the Mayflower embarked alone from Plymouth on September 16, loaded with furni ture, chickens, goats, and provisions. Living quarters for each per son were no bigger than a single bed, but each person was allowed room for personal items. The practical-minded William Mullins brought 126 pairs of shoes and 13 pairs of boots.
