That the first day of June last past (new stile) Monsieur du Quesne

was met with two English men of warr belonging to this State, the one called
the Constant Warwick commanded by Captaine vessey of about 30 peeces
of ordnance; and the other the Griffin of dartmouth, by whom hee the
said Captaine du Quesne came with his said fliboate to an anchor, and

of rocks and dangerous to any that doe and well know them,
and that the Biscainers are accustomed to skulke there with their small
vessells, because greate vessells cannot or but hardly come at them.

other armes. And that afterwards the said English Captaines with
their vessells going for the Bay of Morbihan, left the said monsieur du

Ilands and remained there from the evening of the 5th to the 6th of June
