Thursday y^e wind at no: an easye gale & fayre morning we saw a mountayne of Ice shyning as white as snow like to a great rocke or clift on y^e shoare. it stood still & therefore we thought it to be on ground & to reach y^e bottome of y^e sea. For though there came a mighty streame fro̅ y^e no: yet it mooued not, w^{ch} made vs sound, & we found a banke of 40 fathom deepe whereupo̅ we judged it to rest: & y^e height aboue was as much. Wee also saw 6 or 7 pieces of Ice, floating on y^e sea, w^{ch} was broken off fro̅ y^e former mountayne, we also saw great store of water fowle swim̅ing by y^e shipp w^{th}in musket shott, of a pyde colour & about y^e bignes of a wild ducke, about 40 in a co̅pany, the mariners call y^m hag birds. Toward night came a fogge, y^t y^e lions whelp was lost till morning. And now we saw many bony toes porpuses and grampases every day more & more. [Sidenote: [12]] Fryday foggie & calmish, y^e wind northerly in y^e morning, but about noone it came S: E: a dainty loome gale w^{ch} carried vs 6 leagues a watch. [Sidenote: [13]] Saturday y^e same wind till night, & we saw great store of porpuses & grampases. [Sidenote: [14]] The 5^{th} Sabbath, y^e same wind, towards noone it began to be foggie, & then it rained till night we went 4 or 5 leagues a watch. [Sidenote: [June 15]] Monday a fayre day but foggie, y^e same wind blowing but w^{th} fresh gale carryed vs 7 leagues a watch. In y^e afternoone it blew harder, so y^e sea was rough, & we lost y^e sight of y^e lions whelpe: it being foggie we drum̅ed for y^m & y^y shot off a great piece of ordinance but we feared not one another. [Sidenote: [16]] Tewsday wind So: & by E: foggie till about 10 a clocke while we were at prayers it cleared vp about an houre, & then we saw y^e lions whelpe distant about 2 leagues southward. wee presently tackt about to meet her & shee did y^e same to meete vs, but before we could get together a thick fogge came, y^t we were long in fynding each other. This day we sounded divers tymes, & found o^rselves on another banke, at first 40 fathom, after 36. after 33. after 24. wee thought it to haue bene y^e banke ouer ag^t chap Sable, but we were deceiued, for we knew not certainly where we were because of y^e fogge. After 3 or 4 houres co̅pany we lost y^e lions whelpe agayne: & beate o^r drume & shot off a great piece of ordinaunce & yet heard not of y^m. But perceiuing y^e banke to grow still y^t shallower we found it 27 & 24 fathoms. Therefore being a fogg & fearing wee were too neere land we tackt about for sea roome for 2 or 3 watches, & steered Southeast. [Sidenote: [17]] Wednesday very foggie still & wind S: and by w: & sounding found no bottome y^t we could reach. [Sidenote: [18]]
