the group remained on board the ship through the next day, a sunday, for prayer and worship. the immigrants finally set foot on land at what became provincetown on november 13. the first task was to rebuild a shallop, a shallow draft boat that had been built in england and disassembled for transport aboard the "mayflower". it would remain with the pilgrims while the "mayflower" returned to england. on november 15, captain myles standish led a party of sixteen men on an exploratory mission, during which they disturbed a native american grave and located a buried cache of indian corn. the following week, susanna white gave birth to son peregrine white on the "mayflower". he was the first english child born to the pilgrims in the new world. the shallop was finished on november 27, and a second expedition was undertaken using it, under the direction of "mayflower" master christopher jones. thirty-four men went, but the expedition was beset by bad weather; the only positive result was that they found a native burial ground and corn that had been intended for the dead, taking the corn for future planting. a third expedition along cape cod left on december 6; it resulted in a skirmish with local native americans known as the "first encounter" near modern-day eastham, massachusetts. the colonists decided to look elsewhere, having failed to secure a proper site for their settlement, and fearing that they had angered the local native americans by robbing their corn stores and firing upon them. the "mayflower" left provincetown harbor and set sail for plymouth harbor.
