in this voyage.  On the feast of the Assumption of our Lady, being the 15th of August, after hearing divine service, we departed from the White Sands with a prosperous gale, directing our course across the sea which lies between Newfoundland and Brittany.  In this passage we were much tossed during three days by a heavy tempest from the east, which we weathered by the blessing of God.  After this we had fair weather, and arrived on the 5th of September in the port of St Maloes.
