The winde at E: and by n: a handsome gale with faire weather: by 7: in the morninge we were ouer against Plimmouthe.
244About noone the winde slacked, and we were come within sight of the Lizard, and towardes night it grewe verye Calme, and a great fogge, so as our shippes made no waye.

This daye 2: yonge men fallinge at oddes and fightinge, contrarye to the orders, which we had published and sett vp in the shippe, were adiudged to walke vpon the decke till night with their handes bounde behinde them, which accordingly was executed: and another man for vsinge contemptuous speeches in our presence, was layd in boltes till he submitted him selfe and promised open Confession of his offence. I should have noted before that the daye we sett sayle from the Cows, my sone Hen: Winthrop went on shore with one of my servantes to fetche an oxe and 10: weathers which he had provided for our shippe and there went on shore with them mr. Pelham4 and one of his servantes they sent the Cattle aboard, but returned not themselves: about 3: dayes after my servant and a servant of mr.

Probably William Pelham, a brother of Herbert. Savage says he resided in New England 1630–1647; a William Pelham appears in the list of those desiring to be made freemen, October 19, 1630. Records of Massachusetts, I. 79. William Pelham witnesses the note of Henry Winthrop (see below) dated April 12, 1630. See N.E. Hist. and Gen. Reg., XXXIII. 289, and Banks, The Winthrop Fleet, 85. Mr. Pelham was apparently a young man about the same age as Henry Winthrop. See Miscellaneous Notes, page 274.
