this great Ba● Neither was Master Davis to bee blamed in his report and great hopes if hee had anchored abo●t Hope Saunderson to have taken notice of the Tydes For to that place which is 72. deg ½ the Sea is all open and of an unsearchable depth and of a good colour onely the Tydes keepe a certaine course nor rise but a small height as ●ight or nine foote and the Flood commeth from the Southward and in all the Bay beyond that place the Tyde is so small and not much to bee regarded yet by reason of Snow melting on the Land the Ebbe is stronger than the Flood by meanes whereof and the windes holding Northerly the fore part of the yeere the great I le of Ice are set to the Southward some into Fretum Hudson and other into New-found-land For in all where the Channell is open are great quantities of them driving up and downe and till this yeere not well knowne where they were become Now that the worst is knowne concerning this Passage it is necessary and requisite your Worship should understand what probability and hope of profit might here bee made hereafter if the Voyage might bee attempted by fitting men And first for the killing of Whales certaine it is that in this Bay are great numbers of them which the Biscaver calls the Guard Bay Whales of the same kinde which are killed at Greeneland and as it seemeth to mee easie to bee strooke because they are not used to bee chased or beaten For wee being but one day in Whale-●ound so called for the number of Whales wee saw there sleeping and lying alo●● on the water nor fearing our Shippe or ought else ●or if wee had beene fitted with men and things necessarie it had beene no hard matter to have strooke more then would have made three Ships a saving Voyage and that it is of that sort of Whales there is no feare I being twice at Greeneland tooke sufficient notice to know them againe besides a dead Whale wee found at Sea having all her Finnes or rather all the Roughs of her mouth of which with small labour wee got a hundred and sixty the same evening wee found her and if fowle weather the next day had not followed no doubt wee had got all or the most part of them But the winde and Sea rising shee broke from us and wee were forced to leave her Neither are they onely to bee looked for in Whale Sound but also in Smiths Sound Wolstenholmes Sound and others c. For the killing of Sea-mors I can give no certainty but onely this that our Boate being but once a shoare in all the North part of this Bay which was in the entrance of Alderman IONES his Sound at their returne our Men told us they sawe many Mors along by the shoare on the Ice but our Ship being under sayle and the winde comming faire they presently came on board without further search besides the people inhabiting about 74. degrees tould us by divers signes that towards the North there were many of those Beasts having two long teeth and shewed us divers pieces of the same As for the Vnicorne it being a great Fish having a long horne borne growing forth of his forehead or nostrils such as Sir MARTIN FROBISHER in his second Voyage found one in divers places wee see of them which if the horne be of any good value no doubt but many of them maybe killed As concerning what the shoare will yeeld as Beares skins Mors teeth and such like I can say little because we came not on Land in any of those places where hope was of finding them But here some may object why wee sought that Coast no better To this I answere that whilest we were thereabouts the weather was so exceeding fowle wee could not for first wee anchored in Wolstenholmes Sound where presently wedrove with two anchors on head then we were forced to stand forth with a low sayle the next day in Whale Sound we lost Anchor and Cable and could fetch the place no more then wee came to Anchor neere a small Iland being betweene Sir Thomas Smiths Sound and Whales Sound but the winde came more outward that wee were forced to weigh againe Neverthelesse if we had beene in a good Harbor having but our Ships Boat we durst not send her farre from the Ship having so few men as 17. in all and some of them very weake but the chiefe cause why wee spent too little time to seeke a Harbor was our great desire to performe the discovery having the Sea open in all that part and still likelihood of a passage but when we had coasted the land so farre to the S. ward that hope of a passage was none then the yeere was too far spent and many of our men very weake and withall we having some beliefe that Ships the next yeare would be set forth about the killing of whales which might doe better then we And seeing I have briefly set downe what hopes there is of making a profitable Voyage it is not unfit your Worship should know what let or hindrance may be to the same the chiefest cause is that some yeares it may happen by reason of Ice lying between 72. ½ and 76. so that the Ships cannot come into those parts untill the middle of Iuly so that want of time to stay in the Country may bee some let yet they may well tarry untill the last of August in which space much businesse may be done and great store of oyle made Neverthelesse if store of Whales come in as no feare to the contrary what cannot be made in Oyle may bee brought home in Blubber and the Finnes may arise to good profit Another hinderance will be because the bottome of the Sound will not be so soone cleare as would bee wished by meanes whereof now and then a Whale may be lost The same cause sometime hapneth in Greeneland Yet I am perswaded the Sounds before no● never will be cleare before the 20. of Iuly Wee this yeere were in Whales Iland the 4. day amongst many Whales and might have strooke them without let of Ice Furthermore there is little wood to bee expected either for fire or other necessaries therefore Coales and other such things must be provided at home they will bee much more the ready there Thus much I thought good to certifie to your Worship whom I hope will conceive that much time hath not beene spent in vaine or the like businesse nor carelesly neglected and although wee have not performed what wee desired that is to have the passage yet what wee have promised as to bring certainty and a true description truth will make manifest that I have not much erred And I doe boldly say without boasting that more good discovery hath not in shorter time to my rememrance beene done since the Account was attempted considering how much Ice we have passed and the difficulty of Sayling so neere the Pole upon

little wind hee stood to the N. ward the winde having been contrary the most part of the moneth bu it was strange to see the Ice so much consumed in so little space for now hee could come to the 3. Ilands formerly named and stand off to the Westward almost 20. Leagues without let of Ice untill hee came to 74. 30. m. Latitude then hee put amongst scattered Ice plying all this moneth every day gazing some what nothing worthy of Note hoping that hee might see many of those fishes with long hornes which they cal Sea Vnicornes the weather variable few dayes without snow and freezing but Midsommer day his sayles tackling were frozen that they could not and them yet the cold is not so extreame but that it may bee well endured hee being still within sight of Land Hee came into an open Sea in 75. 40. Latitude which newly received his hope of a passage and because the wind was contrary he stood 20. Leagues of the shore and then he stood in againe and anchored to try the Tyde but found small comfort shortly after the wind came to South East and blew very hard with thicke and foggy weather he set ●ayle and runne along the shoare the second day and the next day hee came by a fayre Cape hee named Sir Dudley Diggs his Cape in Latitude 76. 35. It hath a small Island close adjoyning to it the wind still increasing he past by a goodly sound 12 leagues distant from the former Cape having a small Island in the middle making 2 currents under this Island he Anchored 2 houres the Ship drove although he had two Anchors on ground Whereupon he was forced to weigh and stand forth he called this sound Wolftenholmes Sound It hath many Inlets or smaller sounds and is a fit place for killing of Whales This morning a storme began at West that blew away his fore-course continuing so that he was not able to beare any sayle but lay to Hull and when it cleared up he found himselfe imbayed in a great Sound then he set sayle and stood over to the S. W. side and Anchored in a Bay where he lost both Cable and Anchor the winde blowing so extreamely from the hill tops that he could get no place to Anchor in but was forced to stand too and againe in the sound the bottome being all freze over in the afternoone it was lesse wind and hee set forth In this sound was great number of Whales hee called it Whale-sound in latitude 77. 30. this day was faire weather and he kept along by the land untill he came unto a great banke of yce which was backt with land which hee seeing determined to stand backe againe some 8. leagues to an Island he called Hauclites I le It lyeth betweene two great sounds the one Whale-sound and the other Sir Tho. Smiths sound this last runneth to the N. of 78. and is admirable in one respect because in it is the greatest of variation of the Compasse of any part of the knowne World For by divers good observations hee found it to bee above 5. points or 56. varied to the N. ward this Sound seemeth to bee good for killing of Whales it being the greatest and largest in all the Bay the cause why he minded to stand to this Island was to seeke for Whale-Finnes this night he Anchored with foule weather that his Boate could not land the next day the Wind more outward 9. the Sea growne so that he wayed spending two dayes before he could get a good place to Anchor in This day it cleared up and he spyed a company of Islands lying 12 or 13 leagues off from shoare he minded to go to them but the Wind tooke him short and hee being loath to spen● more time tooke the opportunity thereof and left the search of those slles which he called Caryes Isles Then he stood to the W. ward with open Sea a stiffe gale of wind untill this day when it fell calme and foggy he being neere the entrance of a faire Sound which hee called Alderman Iones his sound This afternoone it being cleare and faire weather he sent his Boate on land the ship being under sayle but the wind beginning to blow they returned saying they saw many Sea Mors by the shoare amongst the yce but no signe of people so farre as they were nor any good place to Ancho● in then having the wind E. N. E. hee run along the shore it beginning now to trent to the South and shewing it selfe to bee a Baye This day he was open of another great Sound he called Sir Iames Lancasters Sound here his hope of passage began to lessen every day more then other for from this sound to the Southward he had a ledge of Ice betweene the shoare and him but the Sea was cleere to the S. of it hee kept close to this Ice vntill this day and then hee was in 71. deg 16. min. and plainely perceiued the land to 70. deg 30. min. then hauing much l●t about him hee stood to the E. ward supposing to haue beene soone cleere and to haue kept on that side the Ice vntill he had come into 70. deg and then to haue stood in againe but i● prooued quite contrary to his expectation for hee was forced to runne aboue 60. leagues through Ice and many times fast that hee could goe no way although so hee kept his course du● E. and when hee had gotten into the open Sea hee kept so neere the Ice that many times hee had much to doe to get cleere yet could not get neere the land vntill hee came to 68. when hee see the shoare but could not come to it by 7. or 8 leagues for the great aboundance of Ice and this was on the 24. day of Iuly then hee spent 3. dayes to see if hee could anchor to trie the Tide but the Ice led him into 65. 40. min. latwhere hee left the west shore because that then hee was in the Indra●● of Cimberland Inlet hee knew no certainties no● hope of passage could bee there Now seeing that hee had made an end of his discouery and the yeere being too farre spent to goe for the bottome of the Bay to search for drift Finnes hee determined to goe for the Coast of Groenland to see for refreshing for his men Mr. Hubart and two more hauing kept their Cabbins 8. dayes besides his Cooke which dyed the day before and diuers of his company so weake that they could not labour so the winde fauouring hee came to anchor in 65. deg 45. min. in a place called Cawkin So●nd The next day vpon an Island wee found great store of Scurnie-grasse with S●rrill and Orpen the Scurnie-grasse hee boyled in Beere by meanes whereof with Gods blessing his men were in perfect health in 8. dayes and so continued vntill his Ariuall in England Heere hee rode 3. dayes before any of the people came to

the same Setting forth and beginning my accompts from the W. most place of Orkney I made 2 observations for the variation of the compasse evenin Amplit the one was 8 d. the other 4 d. but I do give no certain credit therunto yet I do rather trust to that of 8 d. at which instant I did account I was 24 deg or thereabout Eastward of the great Meridian and neere the parralell of 60 deg continuing the course W. ward as wind would serve untill I came into the Latit of 58 deg 12 min. I was then 12 deg or thereabouts from the place of my departure and traversing with contrary windes betwixt the latit of 59 deg 12 min. and 60 deg 20 min. at 18 d. ½ distance from my setting forth I continued the course still Westward with so small difference betwixt my observation and protraction or traverse as I thought I might as well trust to the one as the other Continuing this course in the latit of 60 deg 19 m. W. from the first Meridian 6 deg I found by my observation that I was to S. ward 5 m of my protracted course and though then I did perceive that the Compasse was varied Westward yet how much for want of Amplitude or celestiall observation could not be knowne Now the wind comming freely on and taking Mr. Hals account That Cape Farewell in Groyneland which land first I did desire to fall with though I did not much regard lyeth 18 d. W. from the great or first Meridian as also Mr. Brigges is neare the same and in latit about 59 deg I directed the course W. and W. and by S. thinking thereby to fall in fight of the said Cape And although there is no certainty of agreement amongst some of my predecessours concerning the variation there some writing 11 d. others 14 d. confusedly yet I did hope that course would have brought mee at least to sight thereof report making it to be high and Mountainous land not withstanding Variation or current especially having so franke a gale of wind and but 12 d. of a small circle neere the 60 paralell the distance being but 120 leag at most and in that distance holding the same course I had 2 deg 14 min. to wracke upon and within one point at most of my paralell and neerer with a sti●●e gale wet and hazie I durst not hale for engaging my selfe with an unknowne Cape which hath both Ilands and Ice lying there off where I might have beene endangered at the least incumbred Now when I had sailed 100 leag from the said latit I met with Ice and as before in Moneths June such weather I would not deale with land but stood away 30 leag more to the Westward Hauing an observation in 58 d. 10 min. and by my protract Da 14 or dead reckoning I was in latit 59 d. 27 min. contrary to expectation the same afternoone the variation taken by Azimuth and Almicanter was 8 d. 50 m. but being set more to S. ward then this allowance I did call to minde the current which Sir Martin Frobrisher found upon the coast of Greenland in the lat about 62. setting from N E. to S W. as the land doth there lye where they doe affirme that the flood tyde did run 9 houres and the ebbe but 3. I know no other cause for this but the large distance betwixt Nova Zembla on the E. and Groenland in which the Ocean may take opportunity to use his naturall agitation from E to W. being thereunto drawne by the restlesse motion and impulsion of the Heavens and here butting upon Groenland must of necessity the land lying somewhat neere his naturall inclination trend along there setting his current to the S W. or else as in a huge Bay make a Repercussive motion as in the Bay of Mexico by entring in at the S. side and wheeling about by the bottome must revert back againe along the North side by Cape Florida Now this 9 houres of the floud-tyde running may be by this restraint of the Seas naturall course in meeting with the land must needs enforce all the Sounds Bayes Rivers and through-lets with quantities of waters and in through-lets especially setting Westward and wanting Limitation shall continue his naturall course the longer being assisted by that motion untill the ebbe being strengthened by the height of waters or of course from the W. Sea shall returne againe according to his proper retraction And thus much further I am of opinion if Sir Martin Frobrisher had pursued his course West ward in his Straite he being 60. leag up the same he had doubtlesse sailed into Fretum Davis for he entred upon the East side and after him Davis on the W. have almost met nor will I be perswaded but that if there were a Dorgio as is mentioned by the Zeni that that 〈…〉 of land on the S. betwixt Frobrishers strait and Cape Farewell is the 〈…〉 But to come to my selfe and to end this digression although I hope what I have here incerted will not be held any way Moneths June impertinent Cape Farewell I holde for certaine doth attract the Magnet more suddainly comming from the East ward towards it then any any knowne Cape in the world as did appeare in all this Voyadge I did here reckon of 24 deg variation but sailed all by Meridian compasse and have wrote this Iournall there after therefore the allowance is to be accounted as the places doe differ in variation This snowie morning I stoode in againe at clocke 7. I sell Da 21 about 2 leagues more to the West off the same I le I first discovered yesterday the Bay lay still full of Ice this W N. West wind bloweth hard by puffes standing from hence South-W 2 leagues over Lumleys Inlet wee had great store of masht Ice and was faine to beare up for one and loose for another but the Sea was smooth after this for 2 leagues sailing it was cleare at night 10. wee see land and made it upon assurance to be Cape Warwick and this cleere was in the Lee thereof for standing still the same course over wee found more Ice in the South channell and more comming out of Fretum Hudson then I had before the wind blew here bleate and unquoth This day we had boarded it up in smooth water bearing a Da 22 good saile betweene Cape Chidlie and Cape Warwicke and were entred Fretum Hudson and now I desire a little of your patience The Iland Resolution so named by whom I know not but sure I am Davis was the first of us that see it naming the East end thereof Cape Warwicke and it seemeth for good reason for that honourable house hath and unto this day doth still cherrish those worthy Marine enterprises as doth appeare by Frobrishers 3 Voyages to their no small charge as also those two Honourable houses of Darcie now Lord Rivers by whom Davis named certaine Ilands

the N. W. of the Kings Cape 3. Islands passeable round about standing like an Equilaterall triangle which I named Trinitie Isles in the remembrance of the house of Deepeford Strand A 4th Da 18 and out-most I named Isle Cooke thinking of my good friend and countenancer Mr. Walter Cooke an assistant in that Corporation This little recreation wee had at this Celebration hath much comforted our men that were aboue and something cheered those that were downe as the Master the Boate-swaine his mate the Gunner Carpenter Exposer Russell yet they seeme to bee the worse since this certaine triall of the tide to come from S. E. with his constant flowing and ebbing doth make them conceiue that this hard labour is in vaine Yet they say nothing to mee but that the N. W. tide was mistaken for the Masters of the Trinity House were very carefull that I should bee well man'd so that I had not aboue 5. but were capable of an accompt and therefore the easier to bee gouerned and more helpefull to the designe thus wee ended the euening in feasting and reposed vntill clocke 12. in the night and then wee weighed ankor againe Mr. Hurine and my selfe hoping by this faire meanes to jndure our sufferings thereby to see the hopes of the supposed passage this way This ebbe wee held it vp vnder-●aile and ankored not This day wee plide about the Queenes Cape the S. side Da 19 thereof is all Rocks small Islands shelues and ouer-falls from 45. fathoms into 20. the land to the N. of the Queenes Cape doth lie N. E. this Cape doth lie in aboue 65. deg 13. min. of latitude it hath beene showers of snow all day I ankored at Clocke 5. in 30. sathomes blew oaze the ebbe was come on and therfore wee came to a sharpe bitter before our ship staid this Tide run from the N. E. as the land wended 3. ● ● miles an houre The night Tide I plide vp N. E. 6. leagues and stopt in 23. fathomes clammy oaze 4. leagues from land at first comming Moneths September of the flood tide it came W. and in 3. glasses it set round about by the S. to the N. still running without any stop heere doth appeare to bee Islands and through lets that doth after the Tides course when hee beginneth not to take his Currant vntill the ½ flood bee past and then hee retaineth his constant course It is now and then snowing I rid now in latitude about 65. 50. min. the day came on and Da 20 I see the land lie along N. E. by E. with 2. Islands neere the one a league off the other bearing S. E. and S. E. by E. co●se weather some snowie the low water slacke was this day at Clocke 11. I made way from 11. that I weighed anchor to 5. 12. leagues N. E. by N. when I raised a point or head-land of good height decfending to the Sea or W. wards the Throughlet or Bay on the Starbord as I did coast the E. side I could not see the bottome not of 7. or 8. leagues deepe I had 43. fathomes oazie ground from this Cape the land doth trent to the S. ward of E. the further I came to the N. wards I haue still darker nights the Moone is waineing and it's could weather Comming neere vnto this Cape I see many ouer-falls and races in the Tides face being deeper with more breacke then heretofore so as I caused an ankor to bee made ready hauing then 20. fathomes but before I came to the first ouer-fall I had but 7. 8. 10. differing as fast as the lead went down I anchored in 8. the Cape bore S. S. W. 2. leagues off at the full Sea slacke I could see betwixt vs and the Cape all broken grounds and the ebbe came on so swiftlie as it was bent before wee could get vp our anchor thinking to fall from those ouer-falls and wee were iust at the S. end of those broken grounds the land stretcht away S. E. from hence it runs about ½ Tides for the broken grounds were drie within vs before the Tides returne To conclude I doe account this Cape to lie some mi. within the Artick Cirkle it stretcheth E. wards as before which in hazie weather as in the night is easie to discerne in those parts for the land lying hid in snow doth cause a white reflexe in the Ayre all night as though it were dawning or twi-light before and after sun-set this Cape I named my Lord Westons Portland Hauing weighed ankor I stood off N. by E. and N. N. E. 10. leagues thinking to stand with the W. side that thereby Moneths September if I had found the land to stretch to the E. and S. ward as this did the flood going accordingly would haue giuen good satisfaction to his Majestie but I was not able the reasons you shall find after the sequill of this journall amongst the reasons for my home comming this yeere and ankored some-while before the ebbe had done running in 28 fathomes I commanded the watch to trie the streame of the Flood-tide by the log when it was bent ●n the fourth glasse of the watch my selfe comming foorth of my cabbin and looking ouer-board see the Tide did not goe aboue 2. knots the watch answered that it did not runne so fast as at first comm●ng on then it went 3. ½ but was now abated I was no sooner laid downe in my cabbin but that I heard the Cab●e run forth and wee had all much adoe to bring the shippe to a bitter before it was out end for end Now you shall vnderstand that the ankor had Cadged a great while when comming to take a sudaine hold broke the two Lashers of our stoppers and hal'd the Cable about the bitts the tide taking the ship away E. 4. knots ½ shee hauing driuen an honre or more before In the morning the land beare S. by W. from vs so that wee though wee had run through it the last nights ebbe when it prooued the former as Lord Westous Portland for in that bearing i seemed like an Isleland the deepenesse of the Bay to the S. E. tooke away the sight of any other land for making account that the ebbe set W. standing as before 10 leagues from the Cape it should haue beene so but finding it otherwayes as wee stood with ebbe S. W. wee were drawne into the Bay on the S. side of the Cape where we espied the land to stretch as it did the day before with the same for me which I drew then I knew that for certaine it was the same Portland wee stood Da 12 along S. S. W. this ebbe and got not so much with both ebbs and wind by 2. leagues as wee lost the flood betwixt them But ●ot the Sea-mans better vnderstanding of this I conceiue it may bee made appeare by a familliar example nearer our owne doores and especially by both example and demonstration here

as followeth may better satisfie then the historie it selfe can j●lus●erate The Example ADmit a ship to be nere the shore to the N. W. of the point of Portland in Dorset-shiere with easie S. S. W. gale standing W. close hal'd the Flood-tide being comming in from about the Berry into the Bay of Lyme falling S. E. into the Race shall take the said ship vpon the Lee-bowe and in despight carrie her into the Race at the S. point of Portland it setting E. where then shee shall stemme the same whose greater force she not being able to ouer-haile shall tacke her about the said Point and then setting E. N. E. and N. E. vpon her wether bow shall carry her into the grasse now with same wind same tide and same winding shee shall bringe the same land W. S. W. or S. W. vpon her this same happened to me at this new head-land which being in the night did not a little stumble mee to find out vntill my remembrance questioned with my experience to find the cause which otherwise we must haue thought that wee raised a new land for which similie as other jnducements to the furtherance of this enterance I haue named the same fore-land my Lord Westons Portland Heere followeth the Demonstration The tydes do abate to morrow being quarter day the last Moneths September night was some lightning This day wee see the Sun but to no use I drive along the coast with an easie breath from N. some snow fell Standing along this coast betwixt the Queenes Cape and Da 22 L. Westens Portland I named another headland Cape Dorchester remembring Captaine Davis writeing of Secretarie Walsingham who saith that at his death this Voyage was left freindlesse though I am sure this Noble Successour revived it againe with his best furtherance and my incouragement I came to this Cape at 6 this morning I had along the land 20 fathomes there are store of Sea Mors in this Sea the land doth lye full of Snow it freezeth the very Ship side and steepe tubbes the Capes as L.
