November 14, 1612 [at Green Bay/Bay de Verde and at sea]

[Clearly this entry was expanded on after the voyage since Crout describes what happened to the crew of the shallop after she was wrecked at Bay de Verde.]

In the morning the wind at south and south & be east with small raine. In the afternoone we removed anker but in waying our cable was cut with [a] rock, so [we] were Forced to leave him behind us. When it was towards night we espied our boat [the shallop] being adrift with our Bark and speaking unto our boat, being much wind, willed them to fish for our anker but, the weather being so Fowlle, they could not find it.

They going ashore into Green Bay ...a sea filled their boat and all they in danger to be drowned but gott ashore upon oars and other things and so did save them selves [there ] being 5 of them. [They] lost all their apparel and vittles. From Saturday until Monday they were coasting too and froo at Green [Bay] not knowing the way for want of a compass dial. So, afterwards, considered with them selves, [they] did keep by the Sea coast.

 ... at Green Bay they had sight of some 4 companies of deer, 6-5-4 and 3 in each companie, coming verie near unto them so long as they kept going but, standing still, they would come no nearer them. [They were] easily to be shot but they wanted a piece [gun]. Making the best shift they could, eating some roots and berries which they found, being in great extremity until they came to Carbonear where they Found in a stage a salt cod head and 2 fishes and there launched a boat the 22th ditto and came to Cupers Cove the 23th about 9 of the clock at night being almost famished.

Coming through the woods they did see verie faire birch trees as possible might be and something near Carbonear. For about Green Bay [is] very much open ground and good grass and there [be] great store of partridge at Green Bay by reason of the open ground for that is ...[where they] haunt most.

All these parts they came through was in Sir Percival Willoughby's lot. They left the canoe in the Old Perlican. In the boat was Bartholemew Pearson and William Hatton.
