September 3, 1612

In the morninge we proceeded being the winde at north west. Aboute an houre after sun risinge we had some showers of small Raine [while] passing through much open ground with a fresh watter lake in it. After passing a wood and thickett [we] came againe into open ground wher was a verie faire river ... and a path which made showe of much deer had passed that way. From thence through other faire woodes some 3 milles and so came into a great champion countrie and much open ground which was some 3 or 4 mylles from Trinitie bay. This night we lay in a wood by a freshe watter lake wher we killed some 5 or 6 ducks for our supper. In that lake was some 4 beavers nesses. This night proved very faire the wind at west all night.
