Dover-cliffe.

which we named Dover-Cliffe, and came to a place where there was a fine stream, where we remained lying that night. In the morning, we sent out our boat to discover another cape between us and the mainland. One mile out at sea from the same, lay an entire row of cliffs, all above water, and consequently not to be feared. We set course for that cape and came to anchor in eight fathoms of water, no more than a quarter of an hour's distance from the land, where there was as fine a stream as I have ever seen, and we gave it the name of Gosnold’s Hope. (The northern bank

thereof is by the mainland, which extends East and West.) But Captain Gosnold named it Elizabeth’s Cape; and it was here that we thought of settling. It lies one mile from Dover Cliffe, half as far from Martha’s Vineyard, and four miles from the mainland. This island, Elizabeth, has on the North side a small island of half a mile in its circumference, full of cedar trees, which I named Hils-hap meaning "hill's luck". To the North of the same, in the mouth of an opening toward the mainland, another similar one appeared, which I named Haps-hil meaning "luck's hill", because much good was to be hoped for there.

Hils-hap and Haps-hil.

On the 25th, we arrived at Gosnold’s Hope, as has been said.

On the 26th, we made our sloop ready and fit.

On the 27th, an Indian came to us with two female persons, being, according to our estimation, one his wife and the other his daughter, both tall, bright, and of a pleasant and alluring gaze. But he kept a close eye on them to see how they behaved in their interaction with our men, although they themselves did not allow anyone to touch them improperly.

On the 28th, we made a survey regarding our stay and settlement, which we had planned on the West end of Elizabeth’s Island, since
They resolve to settle on Elizabeth's Island.
