| November 3, 1612 [at Flagstaff Harbour/Great Mosquito Cove]
The 3rd day we departed from Alhallowes & went Northwards towards a sound, which we were in good hope would bring them to Placentia & there in a harborough on the wester side of the sound we anchored. This lieth 7 leagues from Alhallowes North within a league of this harbour.
In the waye from Alhallowes lieth ane other harbour [Stock Cove], that hath before the entrance a good space of two rockes. There our boate saw nine savage housen [i.e. houses], used by them in their coasting. The sound here is about two miles broad.
Crout's entry for this date.
