Line 96: Grenville captured two Spanish ships in the [[Mona Passage]], adding them to his fleet. Lane took one of these ships to [[Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico\|Salinas Bay]], where he captured salt mounds collected by the Spanish. Lane again built fortifications to protect his men as they brought the salt aboard. Grenville's ships then sailed to [[La Isabela]], where the Spanish set aside hostilities to trade with the well-armed English fleet. On June 7, Grenville left [[Hispaniola]] to continue to the Outer Banks.<ref name="Quinn 1985"/>{{rp\|style=ama\|pp= 60–63}} The fleet sailed through an inlet at ~~Wococoo~~Wococon Island (near present-day [[Ocracoke Inlet]]) on June 26. ''Tiger'' struck a [[shoal]], ruining most of the food supplies and nearly destroying the ship.<ref name="Quinn 1985"/>{{rp\|style=ama\|p= 63}} There are indications that Grenville's fleet was supposed to spend the winter with the new colony, perhaps to immediately begin using it as a privateering base. The wreck of ''Tiger'', however, made that impossible. The remaining provisions could not support a settlement as large as had been planned. Moreover, the shallow inlets of the Outer Banks made the region unsuitable for a base to support large ships. The colony's top priority would now be to locate a better harbour.<ref name="Kupperman 2007"/>{{rp\|style=ama\|p= 20}} After repairs, ''Tiger'' continued with the rest of the fleet to Port Ferdinando, where they reunited with ''Roebuck'' and ''Dorothy''. The men left behind by ''Red Lion'' were presumably also located during this time.<ref name="Quinn 1985"/>{{rp\|style=ama\|pp= 63–64}} On August 5, John Arundell took command of one of the faster vessels and set sail for England, to report the expedition's safe arrival.<ref name="Quinn 1985"/>{{rp\|style=ama\|p= 75}}
