Fryday y^e wind fayre, & east northerly, & for o^r purpose for new England. it did blow strongly & carried vs on amayne w^{th} tossing waues, w^{ch} did affright y^m y^t were not wonted to such sights. [Sidenote: [23.]] Saturday y^e same wind blowing but more gently. Now we were co̅forted w^{th} hope of my sonne Samuels recovery of y^e pockes. [Sidenote: [24.]] The 2 Lords day, a fayre day, an orderly wind & prosperous. [Sidenote: [25]] On Monday a fayre frummegale, y^e wind South S: W: [Sidenote: [26.]] Tewsday about 10 of y^e clocke in y^e morning, whilest we were at prayers a strong and sudden blast came fro̅ y^e north, y^t hoysed vp y^e waues & tossed vs more then euer before & held vs all y^t day till towards night & then abated by little & little till it was calme. This day M^r Goffes great dogg fell ouer board & could not be recouered. [Sidenote: [27.]] [Sidenote: [May 27]] Wednesday, y^e wind still no: & calme in y^e morning, but about noone there arose a So: wind, w^{ch} encreased more & more, so y^t it seemed to vs y^t are land men a sore & terrible storme; for y^e wind blew mightily, y^e rayne fell vehemently, y^e sea roared & y^e waues tossed vs horribly; besides it was fearfull darke & y^e mariners maid was afraid; & noyse on the other side w^{th} their running here & there, lowd crying one to another to pull at this & y^t rope. The waues powred y^mselues ouer y^e shippe y^t y^e 2 boates were filled w^{th} water, y^t y^y were fayne to strike holes in y^e midst of y^m to let y^e water out. Yea by y^e violence of y^e waues y^e long boate coard w^{ch} held it was broken, & it had like to haue bene washed ouerboard, had not y^e mariners w^{th} much payne & daunger recouered y^e same. But this lasted not many houres; after which it became a calmish day. All w^{ch} while I lay close & warme in my cabine, but farre fro̅ hauing list to sleepe w^{th} Jonah; my thoughts were otherwise employed as y^e tyme & place required. Then I saw y^e truth of y^e Scripture Psal. 107, fro̅ y^e 23 to y^e 32. And my feare at this tyme was ye lesse, when I rememberd what a loving friend of myne, a minister accustomed to sea stormes said to mee y^t I might not be dismayed at such stormes, for y^y were ordinary at seas, & it seeldome falls out y^t a shipp perisheth at storms if it haue sea-roome, w^{ch} I y^e rather wryte y^t others as well as my selfe by y^e knowledge hereof may be encouraged & prepared ag^t these ordinary sea-stormes. [Sidenote: [28 29]] [Sidenote: [30]] Thursday So: wind: calme at night: On fryday a boistrous wind blowing crosse, but was allayed towards night w^{th} a showre of rayne. Saturday So: w: wind, but faire & quiett. [Sidenote: [May 31]] Sabbath day being y^e 3 Lords day, fayre & calme; wee saw abundance of grampas fishes, 2 or 3 yards long, & a body as bigg as an oxe.
