South-east and North-weast til Wensday that we saw another Cape where the land beginneth to bend toward y e East we went alongst it about 15. leagues then doth the land begin to turne Northward About thrée leagues frō the sayd Cape we sounded and found 12. faddome water The said lands are plaine and the fairest and most without woods that we haue séene with goodly gréene féelds and medowes we named the said Cape S. Aluise Cape bycause that was his day it is 49. Degrées and a halfe in Latitude and in Longitude * On Wensday morning we were on the East side of the Cape and being almost night we went North-eastward for to approch néere to the said land which trēdeth North and South From S. Aluise Cape to another called Momerancies Cape about fiftéene leagues the lande beginneth to bende Northweast About thrée leagues from the sayd Cape we woulde néedes sounde but we could finde no ground at 75. faddome yet went we alongst the sayd land about tenne leagues to the Latitude of 50. degrées The Saturday following being the first of August by Sunne rising we had sight of certayne other landes lying North and North-east that were very high and craggie and séemed to be mountaynes betwéene which were other low lands with Wooddes and Riuers we wente aboute the sayde landes as well on the one side as on the other still bending North-weast to sée if it were either a Gulfe or a passage vntill the fifth of the moneth The distance from one land to the other is about fiftéene leagues The middle betwéene them both is 50. degrées and a thirde part of one in Latitude We had much ado to go fiue miles farther the winds were so great and the tide against vs. And at fiue miles end we might playnely sée and perceyue land on both sides whiche there beginneth to spreade it selfe but bycause we rather-fell than gote way against the wind● we went toward land purposing to goe to another Cape of land lying Southwarde which was the farthermost out into the Sea that we could sée about fiue leagues from vs but so soone as we came thither we founde it to be nought else but Rockes stones and craggie cliftes such as we had not found any where that we had sayled Southwarde from S. Iohns Cape and then was the tide with vs which caryed vs against the winde Westwarde so that as we were sayling along the sayd coast one of our Boates touched a Rocke and suddainely went ouer but we were constrayned to leape out for to direct it on according to the tide ¶ How after we had agreed and consulted what was best to bee done wee purposed to returne from S. Peeters straight and from Tiennots Cape AFter we had sayled along the sayd coast for the space of two houres behold the tyde began to turne againste vs with so swift and raging a course that it was not possible for vs with thirtéene oares to rowe or gette one stones cast farther that we were constrayned to leaue our Boates with some of our men to gard them and tenne or twelue men went on shoare to the sayd Cape where we found that the land beginneth to bend South-weast whiche hauing séene we came to our Boates againe and so to oure Shippes whiche were still readie rigged hoping to goe forward but for all that they were fallen more than four leagues where we had lefte them where so soone as we came we assembled togither all our Captaynes Maysters and Marriners to haue their aduice and opinion what was best to be done and after that euery one had sayd considering that the Easterly windes beganne to beare sway and blow and that the floud was so great that we did but fall and that there was nothing to be gotten and that stormes and tempestes beganne to puffe in those new Countreys and that we were so farre from home not knowing the perils and dangers were behind for eyther we must agrée to turne and come backe againe or else to stay there all the yeare Moreouer we did consider that if an exchange of the Northerne windes did take vs it were not possible for vs to depart thence All which opinions being heard and considered we altogither determined to addresse oure selues homeward Now bycause vpon Saint Peeters day we entred into the sayde straighte we named it Saint Peeters Straight We sounded it in many places in some we found 70. faddome water in some 50. and néere the shoare but 30. and cléere ground From that day till Wensday following we had a good and prosperous gale of wind that we trended the sayd land about on the North East South-east Weast and North-weast sides for such is the situation of it excepted one Cape of low lands that bendeth towarde South-east about 25. leagues from the straight In this place we sawe certayne smokes that the people of the Countrey made vppon the sayd Cape but bycause the winde blew vs towarde the coast we went not to them whiche when they saw they came with two Boates and twelue men vnto vs and as fréelie came vnto our Shippes as if they had bin French men and gaue vs to vnderstande that they came from the greate Gulfe and that Tiennot was their Captayne who then was vpon that Cape making signes vnto vs that they were going home to their Countreys where we were come from with our Shippes and that they were laden with Fish We named the sayd Cape Tiennots Cape From the saide Cape all the lande trendeth East South-east and West Northwest All the land lyeth low very pleasant enuironed with sand where the sea is entermingled with marishes and shallowes the space of twentie leagues then doth the land begin to trend from Weast to East North-east altogither enuironed with Ilands two or thrée leagues from land in whiche as farre as we could sée are many dangerous shealues more than foure or fiue leagues from land ¶ How that vpon the ninth of August we entred within White Sands and vpon the fifth of September we came to the port of S. Malo FRom the said Wensday vntill Saturday following we had a great wind from the South-weast whiche caused vs to draw East North-east on which day we came to the Easterly partes of the new land betwéene the Barnes and the Doble Cape There beganne great stormie winds comming from the East with great rage wherefore we coasted the Cape North North-weast to searche the Northerne parte which is as we haue sayd all enuironed with Ilands and being néere the said Ilands and land the wind turned into the South which brought vs within the said gulfe so that the next day being the ninth of August we by the grace of God entred within White Sands And this is so much as we haue discouered After that vpon the fiftéenth of August being the feast of the Assumption of our Lady after that we had heard seruice we altogither departed from the porte of White Sands and with a happie and

Nicholas Hauen it lyeth amidst foure Ilandes that stretcheth into the sea Vpon the next we for a token set vp a woodden crosse But note by the way that crosse must be turned Northeast and then bending toward it leaue it on the left hand and you shall finde thrée fadome water and within the Hauen but two Also you are to take héede of two shelues that leane outwarde halfe a league All this coaste is full of quicke sandes and very daungerous albeit in sighte manye good Hauens séeme to be there yet is there nought else but shelues and sandes We staide and rested our selues in the sayde Hauen vntill the seauenth of August being Sundaye on whiche daye we hoysed sayle and came towarde lande one the neather side towarde Rabasts Cape distant from the sayd Hauen about twentie leagues North Northeast and South Southweast but the nexte daye there rose a stormie and a contrarie winde and therefore we coulde finde no Hauen there towarde the South Thence we wente coasting along toward the North beyonde the aboue-sayde Hauen aboute tenne leagues where we founde a goodly greate gulfe full of Ilandes passages and entraunces towarde what winde soeuer you please to bend for the knowledge of this gulfe there is a greate Ilande that is a Cape of the maine lande stretching somewhat further foorth than the others and aboute two leagues wythin the lande there is an Hill fashioned as it were an heape of corne We named the sayde Gulfe Saint Laurence hys Baie The twelfth of the sayde month we went from the sayd S. Laurence hys Bay or Gulfe sayling Westwarde and came to finde a Cape of maine lande on the Northside of the Baye that runneth from the saide Sainte Laurence his Baie about fiue and twentie leagues West and by South And of the two wilde men whiche we toke in our former voyage it was tolde vs that this was of the Band● towarde the South and that there was an Ilande on the Southerlye parte of whiche is the waye to goe to Honguedo where the yeare before we hadde taken them in Canada and that two dayes iourney from the sayde Cape an Ilande began the Kingdome of Siguenay in the land● Northwarde extending towarde Canada and aboute thrée leagues athwart the saide Cape there is aboue fiftie faddome déepe Moreouer I beléeue that there was neuer so many Whale● séene as we sawe that day about the Cape The next daye after our Ladie day in August being the fiftéenth of the month hauing past those straightes where we had notice of certaine landes that we left toward the South whiche landes are full of very high hilles and therfore we named them The Ilands of the Assumption and one Cape of the sayd high countryes lyeth East north-easte and Weste south-west the distaunce betwéene which is about fiue twentie leagues The Countryes lying North maye playnely be perceyued to be higher thā the Southerly more than thirtie leagues We trended y e saide landes about towarde the South frō the said day vntyl Twesday noone following the winde being in the West and therfore we bended toward the North purposing to go and sée the land that we before had spyed Being arriued there wée founde the sayd Ilands as it were ioyned togither and lowe toward the Sea And the Northerly mountaines that are vpon the saide lowe Ilandes stretching Easte Weste and by Southe Our men tolde vs that there was the beginning of Saguenay and that it was land inhabited and that thēce commeth the redde Copper of them named CAIGNETDAZE There is betwéen the Southerly Ilands and the Northerly about 30. leagues distance and more thā 100. faddome depth The saide men did moreouer certifye vnto vs that there was the way and beginning of the gret riuer of Hochelaga a ready way to Canada which riuer the further it went the narower it came euen vntil to Canada and that then there was freshe water which went so farre vpwards that they hadde neuer hearde of any man had gone to the heade of it and that there is no other passage but with small boates Our Captayne hearing their talke and how they did affirm no other passage to be there woulde not at that time procéede any further tyll he had séene and noted the other Ilandes coast towarde the North which he had ommitted to sée after Saint Larance his gulfe bycause he would exquisitly know if in the Ilandes toward the South any passage had bin discouered ¶ How our Captain caused the shippes to retourne backe again only to know if in Saint Laurence gulfe there were any passage towarde the North. CHAP. 2. VPon the 18. of August being Wednesday our Captain● caused his shippes to winde backe and bend toward the other shore so that we trended the sayd Northerly cost whiche runneth South-east North-west being fashioned like vnto halfe a bowe and is a very high land but yet not so high as that on the Southerly partes The Thursday following we came to seuen very high Ilandes whiche we named The round Ilands These Ilandes are distant from the others about fourtie leagues and stretche out into the Sea aboute thrée or foure leagues Aboute these there are goodly lowe groundes to be séene full of goodlye trées whiche we the Fryday following with our boates compassed aboute Ouerthwart these Ilandes there are diuerse sandie shelues more than two leagues into the sea very daungerous whiche at a a lowe water remaine almost dry At the furthest boundes of these lowe Ilands that containe about tenne leagues ther is a riuer of fresh water that with such swiftnesse runneth into the sea that for the space of one league within it the water is as freshe as anye fountaine water We with our boates entred into the saide riuer at the entraunce of whiche we foūd about one fadome water There are in this riuer many fishes shaped like horsses which as our wilde men told vs al the daye long lye in the water and the night on lande of which we sawe therein a great number The next day being the one and twentith of the month by breake of day we hoysed sayle and sayled so long about the sayde coaste that wée had sight of the Northerly partes of it
