Thursday, Dec. 7/17
                              At anchor in Cape Cod harbor.  This day
                              Mistress Dorothy Bradford, wife of Master
                              Bradford, who is away with the exploring
                              party to the westward, fell over board and
                              was drowned.

Friday, Dec. 8/18
                              At anchor in harbor.  A strong south-east
                              gale with heavy rain, turning to snow and
                              growing cold toward night, as it cleared. 
                              This day Master James Chilton died aboard
                              the ship.  The third passenger, and first
                              head of a family; to die in this harbor.

Saturday, Dec. 9/19
                              At anchor in harbor.  Burying-party sent
                              ashore after services aboard, to bury
                              Chilton.  Fetched wood and water.

[The death of Chilton was the first of the head of a family, and it may readily be imagined that the burial was an especially affecting scene, especially as following so closely upon the tragic death of Mrs. Bradford (for whom no funeral or burial arrangements are mentioned??  D.W.)]

Sunday, Dec. 10/20
                              At anchor in Cape Cod harbor.  The fifth
                              Sunday in this harbor.  The exploring party
                              still absent.  Four deaths one by drowning;
                              very severe weather; the ship’s narrow
                              escape from being blown up; and the absence
                              of so many of the principal men, have made
                              it a hard, gloomy week.

Monday, Dec. 11/21
                              At anchor in harbor.  Clear weather.

Tuesday, Dec. 12/22
                              At anchor in harbor.  Exploration party
                              still absent.

Wednesday, Dec. 13/23
                              At anchor in harbor.  Exploration party
                              returned to ship, where much sad
                              intelligence met them (especially Master
                              Bradford), as to his wife’s drowning.  The
                              exploring party report finding a
                              considerable Indian burying-place; several
                              Indian houses; a fierce attack on them by
                              Indians on Friday morning, but without
                              harm; a severe gale on the same afternoon,
                              in
