E. half E. about 7 Leagues distant but at 10 so many of our Tenders and Well-Boats besides some Ships were so far a-stern that we were forc'd to lie by for them till 3 the next Morning June 7th At Three a clock in the Morning we made sail the Wind at N. N. E. At Four had Ushant E. S. E. of us about Three Leagues distant At Twelve St. Matthew's Cloyster bore N. E. B. E. And at Half an hour after One the Tyde of Ebb being strongly made we were forc'd to come to an Anchor about a league S. S. E. from St. Matthew's Point in 20 Fathom Water At Five the Tyde of Flood being made we weighed again and stood in and at Seven came to an Anchor between Camarett-Bay and the Bay of Bertheaume in 16 Fathom Water In our coming in the Wind shortning upon us we were forc'd to make two Trips from side to side before we could get to our design'd Anchoring-place In which time we were received with Bombs from 4 Points of high Land The first Bomb that was thrown at us was from the West Point of Camarett Bay our Ships being forc'd at first to stand near that Point the Wind being at N. N. E. so that we had several Bombs thrown at us before we tack'd and stood the other way and after we were about and had stood pretty near the N. Shore we were also received with several Bombs from an old Castle which stood very high upon a little Island close to the W. Point of Bertheaume Bay and after we had tack'd again as we were standing in to come to an Anchor the other Two Points on each side of the Narrow going into Brest Road one on the N. side called Point des Minoux the other on the S. side called Point des Filletes which is the W. end of Point ' Spanicle play'd also their Bombs at us But the Two latter could not throw them so far as our Ships tho' the Two former did and after we were come to an Anchor they continu'd throwing Bombs at us from all the afore-mention'd Places till Ten a clock at night but did us no damage at all A little before we came to an Anchor My Lord Cutts and my self agreed to go on Board my Galley and look into Camarett-Bay taking along with us Sir John Jacobs Captain Pitman Captain Hammond Mr. Vanbrooke c. that were on Board the Royal William and accordingly went on Board my Lord Berkely for leave where we met my Lord Mohun and Mr. Wharton who also desir'd to go along with us and having stood well into the Bay so as to gain a good View of it we were warmly fir'd at by Camarett-Fort but by the Assistance of those few little Guns we had in the Galley and the good Sailing of her we made a shift in our own Smoke to get out again without any Damage Then we return'd on Board my Lord Berkely and after having given an Account of the Posture of the Bay and the Situation of its Castle how advantagiously it lay for defending the Landing-Places 't was thought fit that Two Ships of about 60 Guns each should be sent in in the morning to batter that Castle and accordingly my Lord Berkely ordered the Monk and a Dutch Man of War about the same Force to go in for that purpose But I having view'd the Place did believe that Two Ships would not be sufficient to cover our Boats at their Landing from the Fire of that Fort and therefore mov'd his Lordship to think of sending such a Number as would be sufficient not only to secure the Boats from the Shot of the Castle but also give Assistance to our Land-Forces when landing by playing some of our Cannon upon the Enemies Troops which we had great Reason to believe would strongly oppose them finding them much better prepared on all sides with Mortars Guns and Men than we expected But all my Proposals in that Matter my Lord Berkely referr'd to the Opinion of a Council of War which he then resolved to call the next morning by Three or Four a clock On the 8th at Break of Day was a stark Calm and so great a Fog that we could not see half the length of our Ships from us and continued so till between 6 and 7 at which time the day
