Monday a fayre day but foggie, ye same wind blowing but wth fresh gale carryed vs 7 leagues a watch. In ye afternoone it blew harder, so ye sea was rough, & we lost ye sight of ye lions whelpe: it being foggie we drumed for ym & yy shot off a great piece of ordinance but we feared not one another.

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 ye lions whelpe distant about 2 leagues southward. wee presently tackt about to meet her & shee did ye same to meete vs, but before we could get together a thick fogge came, yt we were long in fynding each other. This day we sounded divers tymes, & found orselves on another banke, at first 40 fathom, after 36. after 33. after 24. wee thought it to haue bene ye banke ouer agt chap Sable, but we were deceiued, for we knew not certainly where we were because of ye fogge. After 3 or 4 houres copany we lost ye lions whelpe agayne: & beate or drume & shot off a great piece of ordinaunce & yet heard not of ym. But perceiuing ye banke to grow still yt 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.
