of the common-house only was burnt
                              by a spark, but no other harm done the
                              roof.  The most loss was Governor Carver’s
                              and Master Bradford’s, both of whom lay
                              sick in bed, and narrowly missed being
                              blown up with powder.  The meeting was to
                              have been kept ashore to-day, the greater
                              number of the people now being there, but
                              the fire, etc., prevented.  Some of those
                              sick in the common-house were fain to
                              return aboard for shelter.  Fifth Sunday in
                              this harbor.

Monday, Jan. 15/Jan. 25
                              At anchor in Plymouth harbor.  Rained much
                              all day.  They on shipboard could not go
                              ashore nor they on shore do any labor, but
                              were all wet.

Tuesday, Jan. 16/Jan. 26
                              At anchorage.  A fine, sunshining day like
                              April.  Party went aland betimes.  Many ill
                              both on ship and on shore.

Wednesday, Jan. 17/Jan. 27
                              At anchorage.  Another fine, sunshining
                              day.  Working-party went aland early.  Set
                              on shore some of the Planters’ goods.

[Mourt’s Relation, Dexter’s ed. p. 77.  Bradford states (op. cit.  Mass. ed. p. 110) that they were hindered in getting goods ashore by “want of boats,” as well as sickness.  Mention is made only of the “long-boat” and shallop.  It is possible there were no others, except the Master’s skiff]

Thursday, Jan. 18/Jan. 28
                              At anchorage.  Another fine, bright day. 
                              Some of the common goods [i.e. belonging
                              to all] set on shore.

Friday, Jan. 19/Jan. 29
                              At anchorage.  A shed was begun on shore to
                              receive the goods from the ship.  Rained at
                              noon but cleared toward night.

     [Cleared toward evening (though wet at noon), and John Goodman went
     out to try his frozen feet, as is recorded, and had his encounter
     with wolves.]

Saturday, Jan. 20/Jan. 30
                              At anchorage.  Shed made ready for goods
                              from ship.  Fetched wood and water.

Sunday, Jan. 21/Jan. 31
                              At anchor in Plymouth harbor.  Sixth Sunday
                              in this harbor.  Many ill.  The Planters
                              kept their meeting on land to-day for the
                              first time, in the common-house.
