The 17th and 18th were foggy.

The 19th, at one o'clock afternoon, we had sight of the land which we called Mount Raleigh, and at twelve of the clock at night we were athwart the straits which we discovered the first year.

The 20th we traversed in the mouth of the strait, the wind being at west with fair and clear weather.

The 21st and 22nd we coasted the northern coast of the straits.

The 23rd, having sailed 60 leagues north-west into the straits at two o'clock afternoon, we anchored among many isles in the bottom of the gulf, naming the same the Earl of Cumberland's Isles, where, riding at anchor, a whale passed by our ship and went west in among the isles.
