November 4, 1612 [at Truce Sound/Sunnyside]

The 4th we put forward in the sound. The first reach lieth N.B.W. westerly one league. From thence N.N.W. halfe a league & from thence W.N.W. one league where the sound did end. In that place was found eighte or nine savage housen in several places, and a way cut into the woods, which being prosecuted, yt was found to lead directlie to a harbour in the bay of Placentia distant only two miles W.. [This] harbour in Placentia bay is now called “Passage harbour”. A river came unto yt from the N.N. E.; they which went found there fish hookes, a copper kettle, a fishing line & a lead, a target, a staffe & a French basket but no show of housen.

In two houres & a halfe twelve of the companie which went returned. Here [in Sunnyside] was found a new canoe ashore, which now remayneth in the woods at Pernecam [ Old Perlican]. By reason of stormie weather it could not be broughte any further.
