Unfavorable winds kept us about five days at Port Royal, and then a propitious Northeaster arising, we departed, intending to go to the river Pentegoet, to the place called _Kadesquit_,[47] the site destined for the new colony, and having many great advantages for such a purpose. But God ordained otherwise. For when we were to the Southeast of the Island of Menauo,[48] the weather changed, and there came upon the sea such a dense fog that we could see no more by day than by night. We had serious misgivings in this time of danger, because in this place there are breakers and rocks, against which we were afraid of striking in the darkness; the wind not [219] permitting us to draw away and stand out to sea. We continued thus two days and two nights, veering now to one side, now to the other, as God inspired us. We were moved by our affliction to offer prayers and vows to God, that he might be pleased to deliver us from the danger, and direct us to some good place for his glory. In his goodness he hearkened to us, for when evening came on we began to see the stars, and by morning the fogs had all disappeared. We recognized that we were opposite Mount desert, an Island, which the Savages call _Pemetiq_.[49] The pilot turned to the Eastern shore of the Island, and there located us in a large and beautiful port, where we made our thanksgiving to God, raising a Cross and singing to God his praises with the sacrifice of the holy Mass. We called [220] this place and port Saint Sauveur. CHAPITRE XXVI. [i.e., xxiv.] A QUELLE OCCASION NOUS NOUS ARRESTAMES À SAINCT SAUUEUR, LA BONTÉ DU LIEU. OR en ce Port icy de S. Sauueur grande contention s'esleua entre les Matelots, & nostre equipage ou nous autres passagers. La cause en estoit, parce que la charte partie, & l'accord passé en France portants, que lesdits Matelots seroyent tenus anchrer en vn Port de l'Acadie, que nous leur nommerions; & là seiourner l'espace de trois mois: Lesdits Matelots se maintenoy[~e]t estre arriués en vn Port de l'Acadie, & que partant ledit terme de trois mois deuoit courir dés cest'arriuée. On leur repliquoit [221] que le Port n'estoit point celuy qu'on leur auoit nommé _Kadesquit_, & partant, que le temps ne courroit point auant qu'ils y fussent. Le Pilote s'opiniastroit là cõtre, maintenant, que iamais nauire n'estoit allé iusques à _Kadesquit_, & qu'il ne vouloit point se faire vn descouureur de nouuelles routes: il y auoit aussi faute, au nom de l'Acadie, pour dire la Norambegue, ce qui augmentoit la dispute: raisons deçà, raisons delà. Rien que plaidoyerie, mauuais augure de l'aduenir. CHAPTER XXVI. [i.e., xxiv.] WHY WE STAYED AT SAINT SAUVEUR; THE GOOD QUALITIES OF THE PLACE.
