North 57 degrees East, 2 Miles from the South point of Portland, lies a sunken rock whereon the sea breaks; we passed between this Rock and the land having 17, 18, and 20 fathom Water.

We saw a great Number of the Natives assembled together on the Isle of Portland; we likewise saw some on the Main land, and several places that were Cultivated and laid out in square Plantations.
Friday, 13th.

At 1 p.m.we discover'd land behind or to the Westward of Portland, extending to the Southward as far as we could see.

In hauling round the South end of Portland we fell into Shoal Water and broken ground, which we, however, soon got clear of.

At this time 4 Canoes came off to us full of People, and keept for sometime under our stern threatning of us all the while.
