1556. 



the same Cape to the Eastward, there riseth hard by it a 

 round greene hommoke, which commeth out of the 

 maine. 



The thirde Cape is about a league beyond the middle 

 Cape, and is a high land like to the other Capes, and 

 betwixt the middle, and the thirde commeth out a litle 

 head or point of a land out of the maine, and divers 

 rocks hard aboord the shoare. 



Before we came to the Capes, being about 8. leagues 

 off them, wee had the land Southeast, and by East, and 

 being past the Capes, the land runneth in againe East 

 Northeast. 



About two leagues beyond the farthest Cape there is 

 a lowe glade about two miles long, and then the land 

 riseth high againe, and divers head-lands rise one beyond 

 another, and divers rockes lie at the point of the first 

 head-land. The middest of these Capes is the neerest 

 to the Southwards, I meane, further into the sea then 

 any of the other, so that being to the Eastward of it, 

 it may be discerned farre off, and being so to the East- 

 ward it riseth with two small rockes. 



This day we ankered for feare of overshooting a towne 

 called S. Johns. Wee ran this day not above 8. leagues. 

 In the afternoone this day there came a boate of the 

 countrey from the shoare, with five men in her, and went 

 along by us, as we thought, to discerne our flagges, but 

 they would not come neere us, and when they had well 

 looked upon us, they departed. 



The fourth day in the morning, sailing by the coast, 

 we espied a ledge of rockes by the shoare, and to the 

 Westwards of them two great greene hils joyning 

 together, so that betweene them it was hollow like a 

 saddle : and within the said rockes the Master thought 

 the aforenamed Towne had stoode, and therefore we 

 manned our boates, and tooke with us cloth, and other 

 marchandize, and rowed ashoare, but going along by 

 the coast, we sawe that there was no towne, therefore 

 wee went aboord againe.
