THE 19th of August, 1617, at 6 o'clock in the
morning, having the wind at N.E. we set sail in
the river of Cork, where we had attended a fair
wind 7 weeks.

From 6 in the morning till 10 at night we ran
14 leagues S. by W.; from 10 at night till 10 in
the morning we had no wind, so as between 10 in
the morning and 4 at afternoon we made not
above 2 leagues.

At 4 the 20th day the wind began to freshen, and
we steered away S.S.W., keeping a westerly course,
fearing the westerly winds, and from 4 to 2
o'clock after midnight, being the morning of the
21st day, we ran 13 leagues.

From 2 in the morning of the 21st day, being
Thursday, till 8 in the same morning, being 6
hours, we ran 6 leagues S. by W. Then the wind
came to the W. and W. by S.; very little wind till
one o'clock; the wind between the W and the S.,
