Summary
9. Sonday, the chief of both the shipps, with the greatest part of all the company, landed on the island where the crosse stood, the which they called St. George's Island, and heard a sermon delivered unto them by Mr. Seymour, his preacher, and soe returned abourd againe.
10. Captain Popham manned his shallop, and Captain Gilbert his ship boat, with fifty persons in both, and departed for the river of Pemaquid, carrieng with them Skidwares, and arrived in the mouthe of the river; there came forth Nahanada, with all his company of Indians with their bowes and arrowes in their handes. They being before his dwellinghouse, would not willingly have all our people come on shoare, using them in all kind sort after their manner; neverthelesse, after one hower, they all suddenly withdrew themselves into the woodes, nor was Skidwares desirous to returne with them any more abourd. Our people loth to proffer any vyolence unto him by drawing him by force, suffered him to stay behind, promising to returne to them the next day following, but he did not. After his departure they imbarked themselves, and rowed to the further side of the river and there remayned on the shoare for that night.
11. They returned to their shipps towards the evening, where they still road under St. George's Island.
12. They weyed anchors and sett saile to goe for the river of Sachadehoc; they had little wynd and kept their course west.
13. They were south of the island of Sutquin, a league from yt, and yt riseth in this form hereunder; but they did not take yt to be Sutquin.
