2. “Moderate weather at half an hour past four this afternoon anchored in twenty fathom, small sand and shells. The body of _Prince Rupert_’s island bore south three mile: the low point of the bay we were in N. W. one mile. Another _Indian_ canoe came on board: the woman they had wore a necklace of small beautiful shels, nicely strung, which went five or six turns round her neck; it look’d, at a small distance, like a pearl one. At seven this morning weigh’d and try’d the strength of the current, which ran about two knots.” 3. “For these twenty four hours strong gales of wind and cloudy weather: this afternoon at one anchor’d in thirty one fathom; small stones and shells. Point _Middleton_ W. by S. two leagues, and the point of St. _Jerom_’s found N. W. by W. four mile: the tide run two knots and a half. At five in the afternoon, being high water, sounded in twenty seven fathom, at ten, forty five fathom, at twelve, forty five fathom, the ship having tail’d out. At four in the morning we found she drove: brought the cable to the capston and hove; but the tide running strong to leeward, and a fresh gale, she drove very fast: so that half past five we were forced to cut away the anchor with half the cable: and before we could get our sails set we were just aboard _Prince Rupert_’s island, having fifty fathom close to the side of it: but our sails filling, we had the good fortune to run off; and were forced quite back to _Point Gallant_ bay, where we anchor’d in fourteen fathom.” 5. “These twenty four hours strong gusts of wind, with much snow and rain. At night dy’d Mr. _John Crawford_: several more fall ill: captain _Shelvocke_ has many curses: at six forenoon our pinnace was sent ashore to get greens and other refreshments for the sick men. Winds at W. and N. W.” 7. “These twenty four hours strong squalls of winds: lowered our fore and main yards, at three this afternoon moor’d the ship. Mr. _William Pridham_ our master gunner departed this life: buried one _Thomas Oldfield_.” 8. “These twenty four hours pretty moderate weather: at four this afternoon got up our lower yards: at eleven this morning we buried our gunner ashore, under a triple discharge of our small arms: and had an end of a strong plank drove down at the head of his grave, inscribed with his name, the ship’s name, with the month and year.” 10. “Squally weather with snow. At two this morning lower’d our yards again: at five _Francis Doyle_, one of our marines, died. The pinnace kept constantly imploy’d in fetching muscles and other shellfish: and the wild sellery, already mentioned, being the only eatable we can yet discover.” 11. “Moderate gales and hazy weather, with snow. At three this afternoon clear’d the hause: at seven this morning got up the yards again; this day put our ships company to shorter allowance of six to two, _i. e._ one piece of beef or pork for six men.”
