This is a very good land to fall with and a pleasant land to see.

The third, the morning misty, until ten o'clock, then it cleared, and the wind came to the south southeast, so we weighed and stood to the northward.

The land is very pleasant and high, and bold to fall withal.

At three o'clock in the afternoon we came to three great rivers, so we stood along to the northernmost, thinking to have gone into it, but we found it to have a very shoaled bear before it.

for we had but ten foot water.

Then we cast about to the southward and found two fathoms, three fathoms, and three and a quarter, till we came to the southern side of them.

Then we had five and six fathoms and anchored.

The fourth in the morning, as soon as the day was light, we saw that it was good riding farther up.

So we sent out boat to sound and found that it was a very good harbour and four and five fathoms, two cables length from the shore.

Then we weighed and went in with our ship.

Then our boat went on land with our net to fish and caught ten great mullets of a foot and a half long apiece, and a ray as great as four men could hail into the ship.

So we trimmed our boat and rowed still all day.

At night the wind blew hard at the northwest, and our anchor came home.

And we drove on shore but took no hurt.

Thanked be God for the ground is soft sand and o's.

This day the people of the country came aboard of us, seeming very glad of our coming, and brought green tobacco, and gave us of it for knives and beads.

They go in deer skins loose well dressed, they have yellow copper, they desire clothes and are very civil.

They have great store of maize or Indian wheat, whereof they make good bread.

The country is full of great and tall oaks.

The fifth in the morning, as soon as the day was light, the wind ceased and the flood came, so we heaved off our ship again into five fathoms water, and sent our boat to sound the bay, and we found that there was three fathoms hard by the souther shore.
