Then hauing gathered our selues togither we proceeded on our purposed
voyage, bearing off, and keeping our selues distant from the coast till the
19. day of Iuly; at which time the fogges brake vp and dispersed, so that
we might plainely and clearly behold the pleasant ayre, which so long had
bene taken from vs, by the obscuritie of the foggie mists: and after that
time we were not much incumbred therewith vntill we had left the confines
of the Countrey.

[Sidenote: A faire sound betweene the Queenes foreland and Iackmans sound.]
Then we espying a fayre sound, supposed it to goe into the Straights
betweene the Queenes foreland and Iackmans sound, which proued as we
imagined. For our Generall sent forth againe the Gabriel to discouer it,
who passed through with much difficulty: for there ran such an extreme
current of a tide, with such a horrible gulfe, that with a fresh gale of
wind they were scarce able to stemme it: yet at length with great trauaile
they passed it, and came to the Straights, where they met with the Thomas
Allen, the Thomas of Ipswich, and the Busse of Bridgewater: who altogether
aduentured to beare into the yce againe, to see if they could obtaine their
wished Port. But they were so incombred that with much difficultie they
were able to get out againe, yet at the last they escaping, the Thomas
Allen, and the Gabriel bare in with the Westerne shore, where they found
harbour, and there moared their ships vntill the fourth of August, at which
time they came to vs in the Countesse of Warwicks sound. The Thomas of
Ipswich caught a great leake which caused her to cast againe to Seabord and
so was mended.

We sailed along still by the coast vntill we came to the Queenes foreland,
at the point whereof we met with part of the gulfe aforesaid, which place
or gulfe (as some of our Masters doe credibly report) doeth flow nine
houres, and ebs but three. At that point wee discouered certaine lands
