 halfe Eastnortheast, and then we sawe the land through 

 the cloudes and hazie thwart on the broad side of us the 

 winde being then at Southsouthwest. 



From that untill Saturday, at eight of the clocke in 23 

 the morning Eastnortheast, and to the Northwards fortie 

 eight leagues, and then the wind came up at North, wee 

 being aboord the shore, and thwart of the Chappel, 

 which I suppose is called Kedilwike : then we cast the Kedelwike 

 shippes head to the seawards, because the winde was verie cha PP el1 - 

 scant : and then I caused the Pinnesse to beare in with 

 the shore, to see whether she might find an harborough 

 for the ships or not, and that she found and saw two 

 roaders ride in the sound : and also they sawe houses. 

 But notwithstanding, God be praysed, the winde enlarged 

 upon us, that we had not occasion to goe into the 

 harborough : and then the Pinnesse bare her Myssen 

 mast over boord with flagge and all, and lost the flagge : 

 with the mast there fell two men over boord, but God be 

 praised, they were saved : the flagge was a token, whereby 

 we might understand whether there were a good harbour 

 there or not. 



At a North sunne the North cape (which I so named ^he North 

 the first voyage) was thwart of us, which is nine leagues c "P e so nam ^ 

 to the Eastwards of the foresayd Chappel from the ^urrozve 

 Eastermost point of it.

THe sunday we weied in Corpus Christi Bay, at a 7 

 Northeast and by East sunne : the Bay is almost 

 halfe a league deepe : the headland which is Corpus 

 Christi point, lyeth Southeast and by East, one league 

 from the head of the Bay, where we had a great tyde, 

 like a race over the flood : the Bay is at the least two 

 leagues over : so doe I imagine from the fayre foreland 

 to Corpus Christi poynt ten leagues Southeast and by 

 East : It floweth in this Bay, at a South and by West 

 moone full sea. From that we went untill seven a clocke 

 at after noone twentie leagues Southeast and by South :
