On this date in 1609:

The eighteenth, in the morning was faire weather, and we rode still. In the after-noone our Masters Mate went on land with an old Savage, a Governour of the Countrey; who carried him to his house, and made him good cheere.

[Note: A discrepancy exists here; according to a surviving fragment of Captain Hudson's own account, it was he, not his mate, who went ashore.]
