WE departed from Copeman-Hauen the seuen and twentieth of May, in the yeere of our Redemption 1606, with foure ships and a Pinnasse. The Frost, beeing Admirall, wherein went for principall Captaine of the Fleet Captaine Godske Lindeno, a Danish Gentleman, with my selfe, being, vnder God, Pilot Maior of the Fleet. In the Lyon, which was Vice-Admirall, went, for Captaine and Commander, Captaine Iohn Cunningham, a Scottish Gentleman, who was with me the yeere before. In the Yewren, went Hans Browne, a Gentleman of Norway. In the smal ship, called The Gilleflowre, went one Castine Rickerson, a Dane. In the Pinnasse, called the Ca went one shipper Andres Noll, of Bergen, in Norway. So, by the prouidence of God, wee weighed and set saile about sixe a clocke in the Euening, with a faire gale at South South-west, comming to an Anchor in Elsonoure Road to take in our water.

The nine and twentieth, in the morning, we shot off a Peece of Ordnance for all the Captaines and Commanders to come aboord of vs; who, being come, our Captaine commanded the Kings Orders to bee read; which done, they returned aboord; at which time, wee weighed with a faire gale at East North-east standing away North and by West till I had brought the Cole North-east and by East off, when I steered away North North-west, and Northwest and by North. This Euening, about fiue a clocke, I set the Annold, it bearing West halfe Northerly, three leagues and an halfe.
