Monday y^e wind westerly & calme: but besides o^r being stayed by contrary winds we began to fynd y^e temperature of y^e ayre to alter & to become more soletry & subject to vnwholsome foggs. For com̅ing now to y^e height of y^e westerne Islands, so̅e of o^r men fell sicke of y^e scuruie & others of the small pockes, w^{ch} more & more increased: yet thankes be to God none dyed of it but my owne child menc̅o̅n̅d. And therefore, according to o^r great need we appointed another fast for the next day. [Sidenote: [2.]] Tewsday we solemnely celebrate another fast. The Lord y^t day heard vs before wee prayed & gaue vs aunswere before we called; for early in y^e morning y^e wind turned full East, being as fitt a wind as could blowe. And sitting at my study on y^e shipps poope I saw many bonny fishes & porpuses pursuing one another, and leaping so̅e of y^m a yard aboue y^e water. Also as we were at prayer, vnder y^e hatch, so̅e y^t were aboue saw a whale puffing vp water not farre fro̅ y^e shippe. Now my wiffe was prettily well recouered of her sea sicknesse. [Sidenote: [3.]] [Sidenote: [June]] Wednesday a fayre day & fyne gale of full East wind. This day my selfe & others saw a large round fish sayling by y^e ships side about a yard in length & roundnes euery way. The mariners cald it a sunne fish; it spreadeth out y^e finnes like beames on euery side 4, or 5. [Sidenote: [4, 5.]] Thursday & fryday y^e wind full E: we were carried w^{th} admirac̅o̅n on o^r journey. By this wee were more then halfe way to new England. This day I saw a fish very straunge to mee, y^y call it a caruell; w^{ch} came by y^e ship side wafting along y^e top of y^e water. it appeared at y^e first like a bubble aboue the water as bigg as a mans fist, but y^e fish it selfe is about y^e bignes of a mans thum, so y^t y^e fish it selfe & y^e bubble resembleth a shipp w^{th} sailes, w^{ch} therefore is called a caruell. [Sidenote: [6 7]] [Sidenote: [8]] Saturday wind direct E: still. The 4 Sabb: we kept at sea the wind full full Easterly till noone, & then it came full So: E: a strong gale y^t night & y^e next day till night. [Sidenote: [9]] Tewsday y^e same wind held till 9 a clock in y^e morning: & then a great showre w^{ch} lasted till about 7 at night, & then it was a very calme. There we sounded w^{th} a dipled lyne aboue 100^{th} fadome & found no bottome. This day we saw a fish called a turkle, a great & large shell fish swiming aboue y^e water neere y^e shippe. [Sidenote: [10]] Wednesday wind northerly a fyne gale but calmish in y^e afternoone. [Sidenote: [11 June]]
