This day in the morning at five of the clocke we discovered land being 

 distant from us at the neerest place sixteene leagues. This land in 

 generall lay Northwest and to the Westwards, being very mountainous. 

 The winde was this day variable, and the aire sometime foggie, and some- 

 time cleere. The foresayd land bare from us (so neere as we could judge) 

 North, Northwest, and Southeast.
