October 27, 1612 [at Savage Harbour/South Dildo]

The nexte day we put forth a flag of truce being a white flag. The lake is about a mile from any parte of the harbour. There issueth out of it a very great brooke enough to drive three forges with the current. There was seene at their cabins shoes made of Deere & seale skinnes very artificially. They have two kind of oares, one is about four foote long of one piece of firre, the other is about 10 foote long made of two pieces, one being as long, big & round as a half pike made of beech woode, which by likelihood they made of a Biscayne oare. th'other is the blade of the oare, whiche is let into the end of the long one, slit and whipped very stronglie. The shorte one they use as a paddle, & thother as ane oare.
