call'd to lift the anchor from the ground bring the ship Da 24 to saile the other dayes N. N. W. wind doth make the Seas swelling still continue now the wind S. E. by S. I must stop the ebbes and ply the floods the distance were too tedious and to small purpose to insert here Prayers being ended I called to heave up anchor at clock 8 Da 25 we anchored again this day we made good way to the E S E. and in one Ripling had 40 fathomes land faire in sight upon the hatches but this great comfort was not a furlong long for the water shoaled to the old rate againe presently this night was calme with much raine I had up my anchor clocke 5 and stood along to the East Da 26 sometimes E. S. E sometimes S. E. as the land lay or met mee at noone it came fog ● anchored for 1 houre it clearing up again after dinner I see the land trent to the S. wards wherefore I tooke the Pinnace and went within 2 miles of a point that lay upon our Bowe as we were at anchor nere which point all the land was belaid with round Rocks and all along the shore were ledges of the same and halfe a mile without us Moneths August towards the ship I stood off to give the ship warning thereof who had espied the same before I came to them so I stood into the shore which lay S. along the ship came along in sixe fathomes and I had 4 hard within the ridges This day a N. N. W. wind hath conveid away abundance of wilde Geese by us they breed here towards the N. in those wildernesses there are infinite numbers and when their yong be fledge they flye S. wards to winter in a warmer countrey I hoped by their taking flight the wind would have continued This low land thus trenting makes me doubt it will bring Da 26 us still with this shallow water to joyne with Hudson and then leave us and fall away S. and there also must I leave it I could not perceive that it did slow above five foot water yesterday and the flood set S. E. the waters side is so flat and Rocky that we cannot land with the Pinnace we can discerne the going in of many small Rivers and there out-sets by the change of waters whose colour is more dunne then the Sea it selfe Was thicke close weather at night 7 it wet the night Da 27 proved close the wind changed from N. W. to S. E. the land lay S. E. and we had a great plumpe of wood on shore like an Iland I stood twice into 4 fathomes of land and once into 3 and a halfe but could not see the trees on hatches the land stretching the tydes running and flowing the expected high land and all hopefull things are now at an end this night casting up my Cards I did account I was from Port Ne●o● true course E. S. E. 60 leagues and that I must be in 55 degr 50 min. latitude This coldest day I felt since I came from Nottinghams Ile Da 28 was but the Harbinger of Winter I Anchored in 7 fathoms and 3 leagues o●line I had but 4 fathomes I stood off into 25 fathomes and in againe into 11 and Anchored it brew to top-sailes halfe Mast high the land low full of trees the night was thicke with reasonable wind at East I road still all night for I could get nothing by plying against Da 29 wind the wind now doth Souther about clock 7. we espied a saile standing right with us it was Captaine James of Brist●ll hee came close in at our sterne and wee saluted each other he standing in towards the shoare which was in sight but standing Moneths August off againe hee could not fetch vs for it was ebbe the streame and wind setting him to lee-ward whereupon hee stood into Sea and out of sight which greeued mee much searing I should not see him againe nor know what discouerie he had made but he tackt about inward againe and the wind Estering at night hee fetch 't me and sent his Shallop on board inuiting mee to dinner the next day with my Master and his mate There came on board of mee his Lieutenant his Coxen and three more I gaue order to my Officers to take downe the 4. rowers betweene the Decks and to entertaine them at seuerall messes and to enquire of them with what land they fell first after their comming from our owne Coasts what lands they had beene at or in what harbours when they entered Fretum Hudson how long they had beene amongst the Ice and at seuerall times what Islands they had seene or Capes formerly discouered what was there most Northerliest latitude they had beene in and what day they see first this side or bottome and in what latitude they came ouer this bay in I enquired also the like of his Lieutenant whom I entertained in my Cabin so that before they went away I heard that they first met with Ice at Cape Farwell and that they entered Fretum Hudson the 20. day of Iune they had beene distrest in harbour and had like to haue lost their shippe the fire smoake my men see on land the 23. day of Iune was theirs they had seene the Iles Nottingham and Salisbury and was on land on Sir Robert Mansfells Isle hauing beforebeene sore pestured with Ice The greatest latitude North was 64. deg and that in this bay of Sir Thomas Buttons they had beene troubled with Ice talking thereof as though they tooke pleasure to runne against it nay they said they had runne into the Ice as far as the maine mast and that they came ouer in 59 deg of this their Northmost latitude of their suffering at Resolution their grounding in this Bay the harme of their men throwne at Capsten and what else I desired to haue I had and that they had him on shoare here but two dayes before and kill'd two Partridges they said also that there was no offering to goe home if they found no passeage for that the Ice could not bee disolued this yeere but they must stay vntill the next yeere to haue light nights to shift themselues amongst them and this I did for that I did not know how wee might be separated beefore I talked with Cap. Moneths August Da 29 Iames himselfe and I gaue order to acquaint them with what also they demanded of vs telling them that I had beene in Port Nelson and that I had seene and came along this coast neuer without sight of land from the latitude of 64 deg 2. quar and that in Port Nelson I had beene on the S. side and on the land also before they came and had named it new Yorkeshiere but being a barren waste Wildernesse of Birds and wild beasts of prey and chiefely for that it is out of the roade of trading and the passage where none hereafter will desire to come I conceine that I can

and Iland in 30 fathomes the tyde went E. 2 knots the land lay E and West but I could not fully say it was an Iland for it lay like a Ridge or to Simily it like to the Retyres in the mouth of the River of Saine in Normandie I do hold that all those peeces of ice here are ingendered about those low Capes and Bayes as Mansils also is where easie tides goe they are soone frose over the Snow falling there on thickneth them so that by degrees they increases the Pettiedancere brought nor sent us any storme this night ended in raine and it was easie wind from the E N E. Wee made from the Ice this morning to stand to the land Da 21 we see last night it was ebbe tyde and set to the E. and I plide alongst it to find a fit place for the boate to land in it was iust at low water for they were glad to stay the setting of their glasse untill the tyde began to flowe And after that time clock 10. they staied untill it began to fall viz. 4 houres and so I accounted on shipboard riding upon 6 fath nere shoare the water so transparent as you might easily see the bottome the ice comming upon us we weyed Anchor the wind came gently from the N. we stood it upon the tyde to and againe along the land loofing and wareing from ice which came driving with the flood At their comming on board their accompt was this that the tyde did flowe but 4. howres and that it heightned but 6. foote and this was 2 dayes after the Coniunction of the Sunne and Moone so that the flood began at ½ past 10. and ended at ½ past 2. by this a South and by W.

I tocke leave and stood along from 6. fathomes into 30 loosing sight thereof and from thence I stood to the Westward● with North-West wind close haled leaving both th● Cape and the Ice behinde mee for the Sea Mors to sleepe upon there being good store thereabout Moneths July From the Cape or Swannes Nest this noone-tyde I was Da 22 16 leagues and one mile no ground at 70 fathomes for I was loth to stay the ship at any time me thought sayling had been uncouth but at 4 this morning I had 90 fathomes owzy ground thicke weather the wind easie and shifting betwixt N and N W. my way was to Southward of West This Meridian I was in 61 deg 37 min. at 8 the last day I Da 23 tooke the ship about and made way untill this day 12 11 leagues 2 miles N W. ½ W. it hath beene a faire cleare day easie winds the ayre warme and no Ice since I came into this Sea I did but thinke I saw land at N E. by E. This smooth Sea hath a small set from the West with lippering rising and falling as other Shallow Seas use to have the deepe last night was 115 fathomes I made way to this day 12 N W. by W. ½ W. 13 leagues This close morning hid the Sunne untill noone we being Da 24 in 120 fathomes the afternoone was cleare and gently breathed from W N W. I have not tryed for fish in this Sea as I did in Fretum Hudson where I got none I thanke God here we have not the like leisure here are some Seales but few Fowles the latitude of noone was 62 deg 20 min. here appeares to be more Riplins of Tyde the variation by Azimuth and Almicanter was 26 deg 31. min. at most the Sunne went cleare to bed and at midnight we had 60 fathomes deepe This morning Amplitude was 5 deg the Refraction is Da 25 great here and the Horizons thicke which begets uncertainties besides the Needle yet is very slow in comming to his respective point I now hope for warmer weather and clearer Sea than heretofore at noone I had 55 fathomes in latitude to 62 deg 36 min. since last day I made way N by E. 18 leagues faire weather the Sunne went downe cleare Ioy to our Antipodes the Henban flashing all night was a Da 26 hot day in as England in the morning I had 58 fathomes and white Corall the latitude 63 deg 20 min. the way since last day was N. 4 deg East 18 leagues since clocke 4 wee lay Larbord Tack N. W. it was a few drops of raine this Evening yet the Sunne set cleare and wee had deepe 65 fathomes at midnight and then was in the Ayre many Pettie-dancers The last night was so hot as it dryed up 15 fathomes water Moneths Iuly Da 27 for this morning we had but 50 the wind was betweene W and N N W. here was great store of Rockeweed and Tangle In the Ripline of a Tide I caused the boat to be lanched in 31 fathomes the Tyde came from N. by W. ½ a mile in an houre All this day the fog banks hath deceived mee but now I am sure I see land both the maine and Ilands of which there are many lying about 2 leagues into the Sea all ragged and broken rocks within this land bore from N. E. by E. to W. by S. here are great store of fish leaping and fairer weather cannot be I have sent the boat to land and to my comfort three things I could espie by the shore that it was flood Tyde and that it came from the Southward and that it doth flow and fall very much water before we came neere the Iland wee came over a banke of 8 fathomes and neerer the Iland we fell into 15. there seeming upon the land to be Poles erected and buildings of stone and other hillocks like Haycocks The boat went on land at clocke 6. and stayed 3 glasses or one houre and ½ in which time it flowed neere sixe foot it was flood before they went for while they were rowing to shore I did observe it had flowed at least 3 foot by certain rocks that were dry at our first approach they say that it had about 9 foot to flow at clocke 8. the tide returned and set to S. W. ward which sheweth that it runs halfe tide or else the Main beyond it is an Iland about which the tyde may have an uncontrary course as in some of the Sounds of the Iland of Selly at Englands W. end this Iland doth lie in 64 d. 10. m. of latitude and I took this place to be the N.

I stood to the S. ward being S. W. from the E. point of the N. land stretching toward Resolution 4 leagues I stood over untill this day clocke Da 30 one S. S. E. wreck and variation allowed 28 leag at what time we thought we had sight of the S. Maine about S. W. by S. 5. leagues off very high land This night was hazie and blew to Course and Bonnet comming betweene 2 Ilands of ice the Sea had beate much from off the weathermost which lay floting betwixt it and that to Leeward so as I loosed for one and bore up for another for the space of the 60 part of one houre and this was all the trouble the ice put me unto homeward bound This first day it blew lesse wind but all the morning was Da 1 Moneths October Snow the Lord for his mercy sake looke upon us for we are all in weake case dispairing more since this last frost and contrary winds that hath bin within these 5 dayes although the frost hath not beene uncouth to us then for the same weather we had for 3 weekes before and yet our allowance is enlarged to so much as we cannot eate with Sacke Aquavita Beere as well Oatemeale Meale Rice Pease and Beefe for salt fish our men can eate none nor doe I hold it fit they should These 2 dayes were spent in plying to the E. sometimes in Da 2 the sight of the N. land or Maine whereof lay 2 small Ilands Da 3 which we drive by as I drive inwards being then fast amongst the ice at 12 this day I tacked to the S. wards and at this instant the said land-bore from N W. by W. to the E. the Iland at the N. end by estimation was one league distant from the Maine that at the E. was 2 off This day hath been faire and cleere and it cleereth with bright Horizons at N.

God send the wind from thence to take us out of those dilatory sufferings which we have more through lingring doubt of what wee shall feele then as yet we doe feele and expecting our freedome if wee were freed out of Fretum Hudson which upon a sodaine change wee may happely expect From last day noon unto this day 12 I stood upon a bowling Moneths October Da 4 making a S. E. way 31 leagues the wind Veering me●e Northerly I stood E. S. E. so neare as I could lie 20 leagues more and at midnight I had the Cape Chidly since called Buttons Ilands E. 4 leagues from me whereupon I stood to the North because I could not carry it about the Cape untill this day 5 in the morning and then tackt to the E. the Da 5 wind larging about to the Northward I doubled the Cape at clocke 12 weathering the same about 2 leagues having as at all headlands with Sea winds and cold weather a great Sea with an inset into Fretum Hudson against me that the shippe strucke in the Spritsaile yard and bowlspright under water I much fearing that the springing of our yards or Ma●ts setled the topsailes so to ease them that I thought I did but double the Cape with much adoe it was high land consisting of dive●s ilands seeming as they were to bee sayled betwixt these were covered with Snow as also Resolution whose Cape Warwicke I see bearing N. and by W. at that instant after I had brought this Cape or Iles of Chidly W S. W. either the Tyde or Current did set me fast to the S. ward this day it froze so sore with the ships dipping in the Sea that our head and wet tackling were Canded over with Icesicles and many Snowie showres in earnest were sent from Boreas his frozen forge And for the haire of our faces to be of his hoary colour had been no noveltie to us these 4. weekes I stood from the Cape bearing S.

yeare if he had not been disabled For when after my home comming I told him hee could not be certaine of the Tyde he tooke at Notingham was true for that his boate was never on land his answere was God a mercy for nothing for I had not above 8 ●ound men so this doth appear as I did cōceive before my returne I cōclude that these things in part knowne to me in part imagined that if I should not have made good use thereof having discovered so much as I had done if I would thus have suffered I had bin well served to have come home unpittied The benefit ensuing by my comming home this yeare INprimis my sicke men are God be glorified all recovered The account of my service by my selfe others brought home I hope to the satisfying of my King and Country and more then ever was formerly done by any of my predecessours by much and at farre lesse charge The ship and tackling all safe and without any losse of either which was not done without great hazzard going from the Latit of 55. in Hudsons Bay into the Articke circle towards the end of September There is also 6 Months pay and victuals saved at above 75 pounds per month amounting to the some of nere 450 poū and if they doe not set forth the next yeare then there is 11 months pay and victuals saved there is one Sommers time gained for if this be distrusted or more required I meane in discovery who is so pleased may set forth the beginning of May and satisfie their desire this next yeare with ship newly repaired newly manned with fresh men untainted with skurvie crampe or cold paines but more and better able to performe the enterprize then the Winterer can be To conclude I referre it to the judgement of reasonable discretion whether it may be held fit that I should suffer either by want of liberty good reward or imputation as hath been wished untill the returne of Capt. James who had no intent as by his answer doth appeare who when I inquired of him why he being so late had not attempted the N W. as we both were instructed answered that Baffine satisfied in his ●ournall that the Tyde came from S E. and that himselfe had beene no more N. then 64. the latit of Mill I le and then having come over to the W. side of Sir Thomas Buttons Bay but in ●9 and discovered but from thence to 61 leag E S E. from Port Nelson where wee met having this yeare neither bin at N W. as before said nor made any discovery betwixt the Southside of Hubber●● Hope to 64½ where the chiefest hope was as I had done nor ioyned Hudson and Sir Thomas Button it may bee thought he being a Gentleman of quality will not come untill he have done as much as I being a man of meaner Ranke in his conceite for I have heard since that his ambition hath abused my worth and name I told him my further intent which was to attempt the N W. this yeare all which to do he must stay the next yeare as my selfe would if he had left me in the like case nor can no unkindnesse be laid to my charge for not bringing of letters from him taking a fayre farwell of him for he had time enough in two dayes to have writ nor was I certaine as then of my returne which now I doe thanke God for If this will satisfie to stop the mouth of Rumor which hath already touched too much vpon my deserts I shall bee glad otherwise I wish they would suffer themselves to be judged by performing the like labour These rumours like ill Newes ridde poast for they came to Court insomuch as comming by Boate with a Gentleman from Oatlands to London where I had beene to deliver my Accompts to his Majesty it pleased the Gentleman to say that now is Captaine James in the Mare del Zur and will come home by Cape Bon Sperance I was so confident that he could doe no more for that yeare I did leave him and for the yeare to come that I replyed with three wishes or desires to my good or ill The first was that if Captaine Iames did passe through and come home that way that I might be severely punished according as I did acknowledge I did deserve The next was that if at his home-comming for which I prayed vnto Almighty God that it did appeare vpon examination equally ballanced that hee had done as much as I and no more I might have reasonable Reward for so I had deserved The third that if hee had not done so much that I might be rewarded with what I had saved to wit Eleven moneths victuall and pay at 75. pounds per Moneth and according to the wearing and tearing of Cordage and Tackling that I had saved which hee would spend Now since hee is returned home and hath neyther beene through nor performed so well as I by very much I desire to be rewarded as before and for that this was rehearst before his home-comming and when I did not know where hee was That there is a Passage hath beene proffered to be proued very Learnedly by Sr Humphrey Gilbert Knight foure severall wayes as followeth THe first by Authority alledging America to bee that Iland called by Plato and others Atlantes sayled vnto by the Carthagineans and that it is bound on the East by the Atlanticke sea from which it is named on the South by Magelan straights on the West by Mar del Zur on the North it is severed from Groenland by the Sea through which the Passage doth lye And to confirme the former Discovery he brings in Money found by the Spaniards in the Gold mines of America having the stampe of Augustus Caesar and since that time the discontinuance hath beene for that it hath beene swallowed vp and overflowen with water through a mighty Earthquake so as the Navigation thereunto was since that time lost vntill the yeare 1492. that Columbus did after discover the same although Malga Prince of Wales was before him pretending that since its appearance againe the Seas about it are made deeper and the Northwest made more easie to be sayled confirming the Conclusion by the Cosmographers of those moderne times especially Ortelius who maketh both Groenland and America both Ilands dis-joyned by a great Sea from any part of Asia The second is by Reason for sayling from Iseland to where this Freet should be its thought to bee more deeper water and that if America were not an Iland it and Asia should participate of each others animals or things of like shape or condition as Men Beasts and others of which there hath ●in found in eyther also hee alledgeth the Seas naturall and circular running from the East ●o West Following the di●rnall motion of Primum Mobile it carrying all inferiour and moveable bodyes so as the Current from the East comming about Cape Bona Spei cannot be digested

our honour before we obtaine it for it may credibly be affirmed that this Virgin is yet pure and untoucht either by Christian Indian or other nation although many great dowries have beene spent about her and some brave Knights have bid faire for her yet it is not to be doubted but that the English have imbrac●● her about the middle Onely these make for our purpose that the ●hinois extend their coast to the N. E into 50 d. and know no other but that they may continue it further The other is Paulus Venet●● who sailed along the coast of Mangia from Cataia towards the N E. 1500 miles this doth argue that we have not straits or passage to sa●le from so far W. as we have bin to the end of our Discovery into Mare del Zur Resting my weary invention upon the staffe of this opinion for a while to bee better satisfied concerning this Current which the most Authors insist so strongly vpon as makes me doubt if I were to follow thereby to find the end of this Ded●l●s his Laborinth I should very hardly have any hopes of returning againe the same way because they urge so vehemently upon this naturall motion of the Orbes so as in Magellans Strait men are violently driven backe inferring thereby that all things included shall by consequence follow the same so that I should fight against the streame to Returne the same way But while I am thus pondering out this doubt its prompt into my minde that if all things included must follow then should also the Earth walke in the same Revolution with his neighbour the Sea as also my selfe and yet keepe at the same distance so as I am never the nearer nor further for my purpose by those Circular motions But now my Iudgement wishes me to stay nearer home and let these wandering travels of the thoughts past for that my owne experience is better able to satisfie me then all those Elimentary cogitations and thus in few words as thou didst cary a flood tide along with thee through Fretum Hudson to Swans-Nest from the E. out of the Hyperborian so hast thou found another on the W. side thereof comming from the W. out of the Mare del zur which shall bring the home againe with the like expedition whreby thou wert carryed forth The Probability WEe have observed in the former Iurnals of Sir Martin Fr●brisher Davis Waymouth Hall Knight and Mr. ●udson that the current doth set from the E. side of Groneland over to the S W and W and that nere the coast it sets W. in wherein we have floated all this time and thereby are brought to harbour in Resolution where it flowes 5 fathomes right up and downe and if the account brought unto me by my men may be beleeved that the flowing doth farre surmount this and that a E S E Moone maketh full Sea it doth also appeare b● Mr. Bylot that farther within the straits as at Salvage I le a S E. Moone brings high water and that it flowed ●quall water with Resolution as also at the Iles of Gods Mercy by Mr. H●dson it ●lowed above 4 fath they being almost in the halfe way the distances being nere 85 leag the course W. N. W. 31 deg and differing in Latit nere about 1 d. from Salvages to Mill Ile is 59 leag W. by N. where it ●loweth nere 4 fath and a S S E. Moone and in all those three channels in which I have beene viz. betwixt Sir Dudly Digs his Ile and Noti●ghams Ile betwixt that and Mill I le as also betwixt Mill Ile and the Kings Promontory in all these 3 I say for I have had sure triall and so had no man before mee that the tide of the flood doth come from the S E. running halfe tide and with as swift a current as goeth in the River of Thames from Mill I le to the S. side of Sea Horse Poynt they being distant 25 leag I found the tyde to flow as nere as I could take it by the lead line 20 foote and a S. by E. Moone full Sea the tide of ebbe there holding his course doth but onely slacke for the time of floud about 4 howres which strong tide in the two N. most channels betwixt Nottingham and the Kings Promo●tory by all likelyhood doth conti●ue his pasiage betweene Cape Comfort on the West and my Lord Westons Portland on the East returning their waters into Fr●tum D●●is by the Iles of Cumberland For the tyde that commeth on the South Channell between Cape W●lstenholme and Salisbury I le are consumed in strength and flowing setting into Hudsons Bay betweene Swans nest Sir Robert Mansils Ile and Sir Dudley Digges the most part of the latter flood falling into Hudsons bay From Sea-horse Point on the West to Caries Swans-nest the distance is about 58 leagues there it doth flow but 6. foote in height and but 4. houres in time for Hudsons Bay hath devoured the latter flood so as heere wanteth both tyde and time to wit from neere 5. fathomes to 4. to neere 4. to 20. foot but now to 6. foot yet this flowing is continued according to the Moones course to wit from E S E. to S E. to S S E. to S by E. to S by W. Which is an evident and assured token that this Tyde was fed and continued from the Easterne Ocean comming in betwixt Cape Farwell in Groynla●d and the North ma●●e of America but now ended heere into this great Bay and ●bly ●etu●ned ba●ke againe at the recourse of the tyde For in Mr. Hud●●●● Voyage the tyde of flood the ship setting on ground upon a Rocke was found to come from the E. the ●●be from the W which was no other then the Tyde and th●t came in and set forth betwixt Cape Wolstenholme and Cape Digges It is now probable that this Tyde of the S. Channell comming from the East is not an end and that Tyde on the North is turned away as I have found by experience at Carie Swannes Nest Standing from hence 7● leagues into the latitude of 64 10 m. which is to the North of that high land called Hopes Advan●'d I found a Tyde setting from the North as the land did their coast which Tyde did flood above 20 foote water in the dead neepe as it was at my being there and that it did runne halfe tide being full Sea about clocke 11. So as about a W. S. W. Moon maketh full Sea I was commanded by the letter of my instruction to make a perfect Discovery either by Ship or Boat of all that undiscovered betwixt this latitude and Port Nelson and also that betwixt Port Nelson and Hudsons West Bay in which discovery I now came to finde that I was out of my way for sayling from this land where I found this new Tyde which land I have named Sir Th● Rowes Welcome it being on the Northmost known part
