November 1, 1612 [at Collier Bay]

The barke [Indeavour] and shallop put out of the said harbour to discover the bay within the headland which now is called the Elbow [Bellevue Peninsula], & being forth, the shallop was sent before to see [whether] there was any harbour there, & the barke returned to Alhallowes.

Word was brought that there was no harbour but a sandy banke for a league [three miles] of a gray colour & that a brooke came forth apparently in one place, but that there went so great a sea as they could not get a shore. They gave a goode reporte of the likelihood of the place to yield good land. When they were a league of[f this place] there was not four fathom [of] water.
