November 4, 1612 [at Truce Sound/Sunnyside] 

In the morninge the wind at north west very faire sune shininge weather some parte of the daie. This morninge we removed anker and went up farther in to the other sound which went up north and north be west. We went unto the very bottome thinking sure to have found a passage through [to Placentia Bay]. So that after noone we found a canoe verie artificially made which was hauled upon the shoore.

After dinner we went some 9 of us and followed a path which the savages had made which brought us unto a very faire river which goeth in Pleasaunce [Placentia] which is but 2 mylles overland from the place where our Barke was. Of the other place wher we found the path to go into Pleasance we found divers places wher the savages had bin and they do carry canoes over land to Embark themselves at the other side. Ther we found a basket full of Fishermens hooks, flintt stones and a goate skynne and a lamb skin and a little brassen kettle which we brought with us and a buckler. Ther we [did] see 2 very great wollves. Also we found ther a calking iron for a ship.

In our canoe we found a fishing line [and] one of our men [found] a Fisherman's cape. In this place...wher our Barke is we found in all some 8 or 9 savage houses and [a place] where they had tanned a bear's skine. Ther path over land is a great beaten path into Pleasaunce Baye. This night verie faire weather.
