and_o can_v fetch_v the_o place_n no_o more_o then_o we_o come_v to_o anchor_v near_o a_o small_a island_n be_v between_o sir_n thomas_n smith_n sound_v and_o whale_n sound_v but_o the_o wind_n come_v more_o outward_a that_o we_o be_v force_v to_o weigh_v again_o nevertheless_o if_o we_o have_v be_v in_o a_o good_a harbour_n have_v but_o our_o ship_n boat_n we_o dare_v not_o send_v she_o far_o from_o the_o ship_n have_v so_o few_o man_n as_o 17._o in_o all_o and_o some_o of_o they_o very_o weak_a but_o the_o chief_a cause_n why_o we_o spend_v too_o little_a time_n to_o seek_v a_o harbour_n be_v our_o great_a desire_n to_o perform_v the_o discovery_n have_v the_o sea_n open_a in_o all_o that_o part_n and_o still_o likelihood_n of_o a_o passage_n but_o when_o we_o have_v coast_v the_o land_n so_o far_o to_o the_o s._n ward_n that_o hope_v of_o a_o passage_n be_v none_o than_o the_o year_n be_v too_o far_o spend_v and_o many_o of_o our_o man_n very_o weak_a and_o withal_o we_o have_v some_o belief_n that_o ship_n the_o next_o year_n will_v be_v set_v forth_o about_o the_o kill_n of_o whale_n which_o may_v do_v better_a than_o we_o and_o see_v i_o have_v brief_o set_v down_o what_o hope_v there_o be_v of_o make_v a_o profitable_a voyage_n it_o be_v not_o unfit_a your_o worship_n shall_v know_v what_o let_v or_o hindrance_n may_v be_v to_o the_o same_o the_o chief_a cause_n be_v that_o some_o year_n it_o may_v happen_v by_o reason_n of_o ice_n lie_v between_o 72._o ½_o and_o 76._o so_o that_o the_o ship_n can_v come_v into_o those_o part_n until_o the_o middle_n of_o july_n so_o that_o want_n of_o time_n to_o stay_v in_o the_o country_n may_v be_v some_o let_v yet_o they_o may_v well_o tarry_v until_o the_o last_o of_o august_n in_o which_o space_n much_o business_n may_v be_v do_v and_o great_a store_n of_o oil_n make_v nevertheless_o if_o store_n of_o whale_n come_v in_o as_o no_o fear_n to_o the_o contrary_a what_o can_v be_v make_v in_o oil_n may_v be_v bring_v home_o in_o blubber_v and_o the_o fin_n may_v arise_v to_o good_a profit_n another_o hindrance_n will_v be_v because_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o sound_n will_v not_o be_v so_o soon_o clear_a as_o will_v be_v wish_v by_o mean_n whereof_o now_o and_o then_o a_o whale_n may_v be_v lose_v the_o same_o cause_n sometime_o happen_v in_o greeneland_n yet_o i_o be_o persuade_v the_o sound_n before_o no●_n never_o will_v be_v clear_a before_o the_o 20._o of_o july_n we_o this_o year_n be_v in_o whale_n island_n the_o 4._o day_n among_o many_o whale_n and_o may_v have_v strike_v they_o without_o let_v of_o ice_n furthermore_o there_o be_v little_a wood_n to_o be_v expect_v either_o for_o fire_n or_o other_o necessary_n therefore_o coal_n and_o other_o such_o thing_n must_v be_v provide_v at_o home_n they_o will_v be_v much_o more_o the_o ready_a there_o thus_o much_o i_o think_v good_a to_o certify_v to_o your_o worship_n who_o i_o hope_v will_v conceive_v that_o much_o time_n have_v not_o be_v spend_v in_o vain_a or_o the_o like_a business_n nor_o careless_o neglect_v and_o although_o we_o have_v not_o perform_v what_o we_o desire_v that_o be_v to_o have_v the_o passage_n yet_o what_o we_o have_v promise_v as_o to_o bring_v certainty_n and_o a_o true_a description_n truth_n will_v make_v manifest_a that_o i_o have_v not_o much_o err_v and_o i_o do_v bold_o
