The Second Demonstration In which The Coasts of England are set forth between Cromer and Orkney THe land lyeth from Cromer to Bornum first w. n. w. and w. and by n. and then west and west and by s 9. or 10. leagues From Cromer to Blakeney it is three or four leagues Blakeney At Blakeney standeth a high steeple which you may see along farre over the Land when it cometh to the little steeple then you have the first buy of the channell which lyeth at the s end of the Pole which is a sand at the w. side of the Channell of Blakeney go from the first buy to the other and along by them untill you come within the Haven this is a Tide-Haven where men doe lye dry at low water Four leagues to the westwards of Blakeney lyeth Wels Pol and Pyper betwixt them both lyeth the foresaid showld called the Poll and Pyper there it is showld a far off at Sea At the west end of this showld goeth in the Deep of Wels the beakons that you must saile in along by stand all along by the Pyper When Hoebrom standeth east-south-east-south-west from you then you are to the westwards of the Pyper thwart of it is good road in six fathom Wells Wels lyeth then southeast from you and the trees stand then also against the steeple then you may saile open into the Haven of Wells along by the foresaid beakons Betwixt Wels and Bornum lieth a bank you may ride under it in five or six fathom at halfe flood there is upon it no more then two fathom water He that will saile into Bornum Bornum must goe in at high water and he must bring the steeple against the Black-house and saile so in by the beakons leaving them on the larboard side These are all Tyde-havens From Bornum to Chappell the course is west-south-west two leagues Chappell to the northwards of it lyeth the Sonck which is a sand that falleth dry at low water You may saile about it on both sides of the Sonck unto Lin. The Sonck For to saile into the Easter channel of Lyn Easter channell of Lyn. then saile about to the eastwards of the Sonck and bring the wood of trees over the point of Sitsein or Suytson and Chappell east from you then goe in s e. and by s and you shall find the first buye then in s and by w. and s s w. and by little and little more westerly untill you come about the point there the buyes and beakons shall shew you the way When you come about the point then you may run through the sands into the northern channell and saile out againe by the same into sea by the buyes and marks that are thereof This norther channell lyeth into sea n. e. and n. e. and by east and is very well buyed and beakoned You may also saile into the westwards of the Sonck Wester channell of Lyn. to wit south and by east in all along by it and so run to the first buye and then from the buye along by the beakons unto Lyn before the Towne When you come from the eastwards you may well run through within the Sonck along by the land close along by Chappell and in south and by west unto the foresaid first buye For to saile from Cromer or Blakeney Boston deep to Boston deep you must goe on west and by north untill you come by the land betwixt the Hommor and Lagernesse From the Sonck lyeth a long bank called the Flats The Flats north into sea a league which at low water falleth dry at divers places You run with the foresaid west and by North Course when you are by Cromer or Blakeney a little without the land along without or to the northwards of this bank at high water you may well goe over it the ground on the east side goeth up flat and plaine run boldly to it without fear untill you come in four or three fathom he that useth his lead can take no hurt of it but on the inner side that is on the west side it is very steep so soon as you be over the showldest you shall get suddenly deep water and good sand ground under it or within it it is good riding for easterly winds For to saile into Bostom deep For to sail into Boston deep through within the Knock or Elleknock you must keep the sounding of the shoare in foure or five fathom so long untill that the poynt of Lagarnes be west-north-west from you Betwixt the shoare and Elleknock remaineth at low water five fathom in the middest of the channell Elleknock but Elleknock falleth dry at low water When that Lagernesse is west-northwest frrom you then goe on south-east through betwixt Elleknock and the showld which shooteth off from the shoar to the westwards Lagernesse untill that you get againe depth of six or seaven fathom in this going over remaineth at low water no more then two fathom but it floweth there about three fathom up and downe Being over it Longsand then goe on south-west along betwixt Longsand and the showld which lyeth off from the shoare there it is deep betwixt them both nine and ten fathom you may sound both sides as well the showld which lyeth off from the Land as Longsand in five fathom but the flat is somewhat steeper then Longsand For to saile without Elleknock into Bostons deep coming as is before said to the west land Ingoldmils you must look out for the two steeples of Ingoldmils standing somwhat to the northwards of Lagernesse bring them one in the other and then they shall stand about north-north-west from you keep them one in the other and goe on south-east untill that the trees upon the poynt by west Lagernesse come without the poynt of Lagernesse and then you run through betwixt Elleknock and Dogshead that is a showld without Elleknock when these aforesaid trees come a handspikes length past Dogs head or to the eastwards of the poynt of Lagernesse then goe on south-west and then you run right into the deep betwixt Elleknock and Longsand and so you shall find betwixt Elleknock and the poynt of Longsand five fathom depth being past Elleknock it will be eight nine and ten fathom deep If you will saile out of the sea into Boston deep and not along by the Land as is before said then bring the foresaid trees a handspikes length without the
