Here we were obliged to come to an anchor, and here we lay, the wind continuing contrary—viz. at south-west—for seven or eight days, during which time a great many ships from Newcastle came into the same Roads, as the common harbour where the ships might wait for a wind for the river.
Là, nous fûmes obligés de jeter l'ancre et le vent continuant d'être contraire, c'est-à-dire de souffler Sud-Ouest, nous y demeurâmes sept ou huit jours, durant lesquels beaucoup de vaisseaux de Newcastle vinrent mouiller dans la même rade, refuge commun des bâtiments qui attendent un vent favorable pour gagner la Tamise.
