other small anker that Gabriel sent aboord, and layd 

 that anker to seawards: and then betweene these two 

 ankers we traversed the ships head to seawards, and 

 set our foresaile and maine sayle, and when the 

 barke had way, we cut the hawser, and so gate the 

 sea to our friend, and tryed out al that day with 

 our maine corse. 



25 The Thursday we went roome with Cape S. John, 

 where we found indifferent good rode for a North- 

 northeast wind, and for a neede, for a North and by
