therof, to make anie longer aboad ther, or in anie parte of 
the country, at their perills. Whereupon they, not knowing 
liowe to remedie themselves, did all promise to departe, de- 
sireing a note from our general wlierby they might certefie 
their setters-forth that they had bene in the countrye ; except 
one ship of Burdeux, called the Jaques, wlierof was maister, 
Peirce de Siluator, who was permitted to staie upon condition 
that he should first kill 8 whales for us, and then to kill more 
what he could for himself. And, by this conclusion, he made 
a good voyage : for he kil’d 12 whales in all; whereof wee 
had 8, and he had 4. 
Then did our admirall continue as a wafter alongst the 
coast till the 27 th of June, and then he came to us againe into 
S r Thomas Smyth’s Baye. In w ch time of his absence, he had 
mett w th 17 ships; viz., 4 of Holland, 2 of Dunkerk, 4 of St. 
John de Luz, and 7 of St. Sebastian’s. The commanders of 
all those ships had submitted to our general, and were con¬ 
tent either to departe out of the country, or els to staie upon 
such condicons as he propounded unto them. 
On the 8 of June, about 11 a-clock before the time of mid¬ 
night, Mr. Marmaduke 8 — who was captaine of our vice- 
admirall — and I, w th 6 or 7 sailers, went in a shallop to 
the beach at the Barre, marked w th a, 9 to cause our men 
gather driftwood together, and laie it readie at the water¬ 
side to lade a small Flemish flieboat that was to come hither 
to fetch it. Upon this beach, wee saw being ther, by our 
estimacon, neare 300 morses, at the verie pointe or end of 
it; but wee would not goe too neare them for disturbing 
them. When the flieboat was come to take in the wood, 
Mr. Marmaduke and I came awaie in the shallop; and haueing 
present occasion to use a peice of straight timber about our 
8 Thomas Marmaduke (see ante , p. 274).
