The 30th day of July we brought our ships into the Countess of Warwick's Sound, and moored them, namely these ships, the _Admiral_, the _Rear-Admiral_, the _Francis of Foy_, the _Bear_, _Armenel_, the _Salomon_, and the _Busse of Bridgewater_, which being done, our general commanded us all to come ashore upon the Countess Island, where he set his miners to work upon the mine, giving charge with expedition to despatch with their lading.

Thus having finished all things we departed the country (as I said before); but because the _Busse_ had not lading enough in her, she put into Bear's Sound to take a little more.

The _Busse of Bridgewater_ was left in Bear's Sound, at Meta Incognita, the 2nd day of September, behind the fleet, in some distress, through much wind riding near the lee shore, and forced there to ride it out upon the hazard of her cables and anchors, which were all aground but two.

Here we were, all the officers of the Navy, and my Lord Sandwich, who did discourse with us about the fishery, telling us of his Majesty's resolution to give L200 to every man that will set out a Busse; [A small sea-vessel used in the Dutch herring-fishery.] and advising about the effects of this encouragement, which will be a very great matter certainly.

Parham (a very knowing and well-spoken man in this business), with several others, did meet about stating the business of the fishery, and the manner of the King's giving of this L200 to every man that shall set out a new-made English Busse by the middle of June next.
