Entries to Date

October 30, 1612 [off Dildo Island]

In the morninge the winde at southeaste but verie little but verie full of Fogg. This morning we departed from Savage Baye, for so we named it because we found them there.

So, coasting towardes the bottom we sent our shallop thinking to find a sound. Some league from this our boote went no Farther being thick Fogg. Our boote being at a pointe of another bay, one of our people was ashore upon a fine parcel of ground of some 12 ackers of good land and excellent good grass. In the other side William Hattton, being in the boate, had the sight of some Irone stone in the point of a rock but by no means could go ashore the sea [being] so loftie ... but came away Fearinge to loose the sight of our pennice.

 ... In the after noone very clear and faire weather. Rowing over for the north side of Trinitie at night we ankered under a point of an Islande which is to be named by the governor ...[as are] the other places which we have been at. This night the wind at north east but very full of Fogg all night.
