November 14, 1612 [at Green Bay/Bay de Verde and at sea]

We found by waying of one anchor, that the rocks had worne a sunder our hawser that we road by, for the anchor, and twentie fadome of the hawser was left behind. For that & by reason of a sea which came into the the road out of the South, we sought to recover th’other road of Green Bay: which, as we were about to do, the shallop came sayling out of Trinitie bay without the canoe which they had towed from Truce Sound unto Old Pernecam where foule weather forced them to land it. & the sea was so wrought as they could not come aboord us.

We in the bark, because we could not double the head of Green Bay, stood to the offing, and standing back again, perceiving that, by reason of sagging in with the smallness of the wind, we went to leeward, we stood out again, & being forth in the offing, it blew so much wind at South as we were forced to hull the moste part of the night.

Crout's entry for this date.
