This day being there he plyed up with contrary winds and fogg having diversity of depth altogether standing Eastwards of sometimes to 30. Faddome and more and standing in to 7. or 6 m. thus travercing and anckoring untill the 23. day finding the Tyde to come from N.

This morning proved thick easie winde and it fell to lighten and thunder so as hee held it not fit to adventure the Boat from the Ship 25. He stood of from midnight until this day 10. leagues N.

his ill reward had of the Spaniard and understanding of the Noble mind of the Queene of England and of her warres maintained so valiantly against the Spaniard hoping her Matie would do him Iustice for his goods lost by Capt. Cavendish he would be content to goe into England and serve her Matie in that Voyage to discover the N W. passage into the S Sea and would put his life in her Maiesties hands to performe the same if shee would furnish him with one ship of 40 tonnes and one Pinnace and that hee would performe the same from the one end of the Straits to the other and he willed me so to write into England Whereupon after this twice conference I did write to the old Lord Treasurer Cicil and to Sir Walter Rawleigh and to Mr. Richard Hackluit that famous Cosmographer praying that 100 pounds might be sent for the charge of sending this Pylot into England I received answer from some of my friend● that the action was well liked of if the money could be procured After one fortnight he went from mee into his owne countrey where he dyed There are divers other things written in the Originall as enticing perswasions to those undertakings and is to be read as in Sir Humfrey Gilbert Mr. Hackluit and also other which were his collections after his death incerted into the latter end of the 4th Booke of the 3 part of Purkas his works but because these latter truths have proved them to be but the imagination of men I omit them as things needlesse to this ornament for although I have beene carefull to be as compendious as I could yet I feare me my readers will thinke me totedious Concerning Capt. William Hawkridge of whom I find nothing written by himselfe but what hath come to my hands by manuscript or relation as followeth here HEe went bent by the West and the 29 of June he found himselfe betwixt land and land and thought he had bin in the great channell or Lumleyes Inlet where it pleased God by the cleering up of the weather to deliver him from a rocke he might have indangered himselfe upon to the E. ward This day he plyed it out againe to the E. ward finding that he was in the N. or wrong Channell where he saw 3 Rocks he wondred he had escaped for he had runne in amongst them This day was fayre and cleare weather the wind at N W. he stood out againe S E. all the forenoone amongst yce loofing for one and bearing up for another the current setting to the W. ward he tooke marks upon the land and by the logge the Ship run after 5 leag a watch and for all that got nothing he observed by his Astrolob and was in 62 d. 25 m. having had Fogs and Mists for 6 dayes before so as he could not observe and this day he had 29 d variation Westward the magneticall Amplitude 83 d true Amplitude 54. These dayes were fayre cleare weather the 4 was foggie This day the winde was E. This day he plyed to windward to weather Resolution the wind at E N E. This day was foggie wind N E. he lost sight of his Pinnace The 27 of Iune he made the Resolution and the 8 of July he was come backe againe out of the N. channell betwixt Resolution and Cape Elizabeth This day he met againe with his Pinnace and thought to have borne up but the fogge taking him he plyed to the Eastward to the intent he might get into the great channell This day standing to the N-shore with very foggie weather he was taken with an indraft of a strong tide and drawne in amongst divers Ilands about Cape Elizabeth and was in more danger then he saw but having a swelling Sea from the E. hee followed and so escaped all dangers This day he had a strong ripling of a tide his Latit 61 d. 30 m. and the body of Resolution bore N W. by N. from him The 12. 13. and 14 dayes he made account that he had kept that latit and rather to the N. ward but he was horst with a current he could not tell how above 1 d. 30 m. which all men know is 30 leag so that he was to the S. ward of Buttons Iland This day when he came to observe thinking he had bin in the mouth of the strait it proved otherwise the wind cóming contrary as at W and by S. some hopes were taken away that he should not insist any further for that yeare but that himselfe had framed a sound resolution to continue and persever From the 16 untill this day he plyed to the West and was faire by land not 3 leag of the sounding he had no ground in latit 61. 50. The wind N N E. and N E. cleare weather This day he espied land on the S. shore nere Cape Charles but to the E. ward he espyed a little Iland where he stood into a Bay to water and anchored in 25 fath fine fishing ground but catcht none he had land bore round from the N N W. to the E by N. the Ilands Lat. 62 d. 19 m. variat 3 d. 9 m. and here he had a tyde which minding the setting and flowing may cause some Argument of strong consequence to prove a passage that way on this Iland he caught Ducks here he found it to flow 21 foote water the tyde setting S E. and the flood from N W. and in this place a S. E. Moone makes a full Sea He sent the Mrs. Mate and Carpenter with others in the boat to rowe about the Iland and when it bore S. E. of them they had 74 fath halfe a mile from land a strong set tide from E. This day he set saile from this Iland the wind E S E. much wind all day This day in the morning he met with much yce This day he run 35 leag W. by N. but the last day at night he reckned himselfe to be at the westermost Cape on the N. side This day he run 25 leag W by N. but the last day he sawe land and thought it had bin Silisbury and Nottinghams Ilands but it proved the N. Mayne he sailed along W. by N. and W by S. with a stiffe gale at E N E. he found this land to be thicke with yce and very low and run 30 leag along by it The first of August he espyed this land and sailed along in 67 89 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 fat rocky ground as he stood to the S. ward it was white sand his lat was 63 d. 30 m. variat 27-he found an Iland sayling along the shore the depth betweene which and the Mayne was 70 fath This day he sailed along the N W. with fayre weather and easie wind This day he stood away S W. and anchored in 45 fath clay ground This morning he weighed and stood N W.

for that purpose I made loose againe presently because the Masters mate was of opinion that it was cleare to the W. or at least that was the cleerest way for my parte I had no more purpose to have tryed betweene Salisbury and the N. Maine or Mill I le so named by By●ot for Mill Ile being a great Iland lying in the middle of the N. Channell must needs straiten all the ice that fleets from the N W. yet for the good of the Voyage it was fit to try all conclusions but thus striving to the W. we were presently inclosed againe where we lay vntill the next morning all too nere the Iland if I could have got further off This night had a stiffe gale at West with one showre of raine the Sunne was obscured 2 howres before night and wee slept safe in our old Innes I cald at clocke 3. and by 6. with haleing saleing toweing Da 12 and pulling wee were got cleere and thought to have gone about the East end of the Iland but the flood faceing of the winde had choaked all the East end sotheir being one glade or cleere betweene the shoare and the Channell ice we plide it up therein for 2 or 3 miles but comming nere the W. end it was all choaked there so shutting betweene one and another for the N. Mayne I stood to see what better comfort but at halfe straite ouer I was forcd backe againe for ice and Fogge. Well wee stand againe for Salisburies Ile of which I was now assured and so named by my predecessour Hudson after the right honourable and not to be forgot Robert Cicell Earle of Salisbury then Lord high Treasurer Da 12 Moneths Iuly of England an honourable furtherer and Adventurer in this designe as well as in others as appeareth by Sir Walter Raleigh in his Guianian discoveries in my standing over I espied a glade wherein I hoped if I did returne I might recover the N. Maine wherefore I called to tackle about the ship The Master not seeing what was on the weather Bowe bid the helme man put on Lee the ship obeying her helme presently answered so as in her winding her way being not fully ended she checkt upon a peece or ice and twined off her cut water which was before the stemme thus constrained I bore up the helme and went along to the East end of the I le and makeing fast to a peece of Ice the Carpenter made good againe the hurt wee had received in the meane time our men went to supper the afternoone was more then seven houres old before this was done then I called againe to make loose for I thought that the ice was now with winde and ebbe well cleared from the East end of the Iland as it proved but many discontented and doubtfull speeches past but to no purpose for I must runne to discover this losse time when motion was made to make fast againe which I denyed for these reasons that wee could see the Sea to be reasonable free and cleere at the East end from the Iland and the South Channell would be to be dealt withall or if not the passage was forbidden untill the ice were dissolved and to fasten nere the land I would upon no condition listen unto for the winde comming to blow to land I must upon necessity bee put thereon the Shippe alwayes pulling the ice she was fast unto faster then the other could drive and for anckoring there was none if the land had not beene steepe to for the Eddie Tides which every Rocke Bay or poynt made would have wheeled the Shippe about in the ice so as it had not beene possible to have kept my rudder from breakeing and amongst ice there was no loosing of any saile to have beaten it off shoare It seemeth these reasons had the force of perswasion for wee willingly past about the I le to the South as well where we found all over laid with ice so that wee must make fast having toyled thus all day untill night I thought it fit to Moneths July repose This morning clocke 4. I called to make loose wee Da 13 had much to doe to get cleere being all fast immured it was easie wind I could perceive by the bearing of the land that we had drove above 2 miles S. wards now wee thredneedles to the East hopeing at further distance from the I le to get cleare into the South channell at clocke 10 the West winde brought on thick Fogges so as we could not see one hole to peepe through the ice inclosed us and there we lay it blew hard untill clocke 7. then it both calmed and cleared I loosed and plying 2 leagues to the Southwards had the South Maine in sight from the South-East to the S West All this day untill night 7. we kept our colde lodging and Da 14 then looseing with an easie breath from N E. we minne●nd betwixt ice and ice S Westward untill we got cleare in which time came under the sheering of our head easie to have been strooke if our provisions had beene ready a Sea Vnicorne He was of length about 9 foot black ridged with a small fin theron his taile stoode crosse his ridge and indented between the pickends as it were on either side with 2 Scallop shels his side dapled purely with white and blacke his belly all milke white his shape from his gils to his taile was fully like a Makarell his head like a to Lobster wherout the fore-part grewe forth his twined horne above 6 foote long all blacke save the tip This evening I had sight of 20 more the Sun set cleare and this easie gale continued from the E N E. all night wee stood S W. having the straite cleare to the S. This delicate morning the ice seemed to trent from Salisburies Da 15 Ile into the middle channell I caused the sailes to be clewed up and lie untill Sols beautifull appearance and at that fit opportunity wet the lead in 60 fath The E end of Salisbury lying N by E. from me about 4 leag the W. end which is Salisburies plaine N W. about 4 leag of Nottingham at that instant peeping out from beyond it about 7 leag off I stood to the S. into ⅓ of the channell shooting shuttles in the old loome and heare the lead fell downe 160 fath before ground made it stay it brought from thence such stones as lye upon the most of the ice here in this part of the passage especially brought from the Mayne cleaving to the Ice by winters frost Moneths July more broad then thicke at whose dissolving they fall to the bottome and the yeerely Ice since the generall Deluge bringing in such quantity cannot chuse but have covered all the upper part of the Seas bottome there all this ice is but chattered no great Ilands since we came by the I le of Gods Mercy so that here may be a plaine argument remonstrated that the Tide

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.

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
