Sunday, Nov. 26/Dec. 6
                              At anchor, Cape Cod harbor.  Third Sunday
                              here.  Master notified Planters that they
                              must find permanent location and that he
                              must and would keep sufficient supplies for
                              ship’s company and their return.

[Bradford, Historie, Mass. ed. p. 96.  The doubt as to how the ship’s and the colonists’ provisions were divided and held is again suggested here.  It is difficult, however, to understand how the Master “must and would” retain provisions with his small force against the larger, if it came to an issue of strength between Jones and Standish.]

Monday, Nov. 27/Dec. 7
                              At anchor, Cape Cod harbor.  Rough weather
                              and cross winds.  The Planters determined
                              to send out a strong exploring party, and
                              invited the Master of the ship to join them
                              and go as leader, which he agreed continued
                              to, and offered nine of the crew and the
                              long-boat, which were accepted.  Of the
                              colonists there were four-and-twenty,
                              making the party in all four-and-thirty. 
                              Wind so strong that setting out from the
                              ship the shallop and long-boat were obliged
                              to row to the nearest shore and the men to
                              wade above the knees to land.  The wind
                              proved so strong that the shallop was
                              obliged to harbor where she landed.  Mate
                              in charge of ship.  Blowed and snowed all
                              day and at night, and froze withal. 
                              Mistress White delivered of a son which is
                              called “Peregrine.”  The second child born
                              on the voyage, the first in this harbor.

Tuesday, Nov. 28/Dec. 8
                              At anchor, Cape Cod harbor.  Cold.  Master
                              Jones and exploring party absent on shore
                              with long-boat and colonists’ shallop.  The
                              latter, which beached near ship yesterday
                              in a strong wind and harbored there last
                              night, got under way this morning and
                              sailed up the harbor, following the course
                              taken by the long-boat yesterday, the wind
                              favoring.  Six inches of snow fell
                              yesterday and last night.  Crew at work
                              clearing snow from ship.
