Cabbin which hee soone did then came John Thomas and Bennet before him while Wilson bindes his armes behind him he asked what they meant they told him that he should know when hee was in the Shallop now Iuet while this was doing came to John King into the hold who was provided for him for hee had got a sword of his owne and kept him at a Bay and might have killed him but others came to helpe him and so he came up to the Master the Master called to the Carpenter and tolde him that he was bound but he heard no answer made now Arnold Lodlo and Michell But railed at them and told them there knavery would show it selfe then was the Shallop hailed up to the ship side and the poore sicke and lame men were called up to get them into the Shallop the Master called to this writer who came out of his cabbine as well as he could to the hatch way to speake with him where on his knees he besought them for the love of God to remember themselves and to do as they would be done unto they bad him keep himselfe well and get him into his cabbine not suffering the Master to speak to him but when he came into his cabbin againe at the horn window which gave light into his cabbine the Mr. told him that Juet would overthrow them all nay said he it is that villaine Greene and spake it not softly Now was the Carpenter at liberty and asked them if they would be hanged when they came at home and as for himselfe he said he would not stay in the Ship unlesse they would force him they bid him go then for they would not stay him I will said he so I may have my chest and all that is in it they said he should and presently put it into the Shallop then came he to take his leave of this writer who perswaded him to stay which if he would he might so worke that all might be well but he answered that he did not thinke but that they would be glad to take them in againe for he was so perswaded by the Master that there was not one in all the ship that could tell how to carry her home but saith he if we must part which we will not willingly doe for they would follow the ship prayed him if they came to the Cape before them that he would leave some token that he had beene there neare to the place where the Fowles breed and he would doe the like for us and so with teares we parted now were the sick men driven out of their cabbines into the Shallop but Iohn Thomas who was Francis Clements friend and Bennet was the Coopers so as there was words betweene them and Henry Greene saying that they should goe and the other swearing that they should not goe but such as were in the Shallop should returne when Henry Greene heard that he was compelled to give place and to put out Arnold Lodl● and Michael But which with much a doe they did In the meane time there was some that plyed there worke as though the ship had beene entred by force and they had free leave to pillage breaking up chests and ri●eling all places one of them came to this writer and asked him what they should doe who answered that they should make an end of what they had begun for he see him doe nothing but sharke up and downe now all the poore men in the Shallop as Henry Hudson Master Iohn Hudson his sonne Arnold Lodle Sirack Fenner Phillip Staffe the Carpenter Thomas Woodhonse Adam Mo●re Henry King and M●che●● But the Carpenter got of them a peice and powder and shot and some pikes an Iron pot with some meale and other things they stoode out of the Ice the Shallop being fast to the sterne of the Ship and so when they were high out for he cannot say they were cleane out they cut the head-fest from the sterne of their ship and then out went topsailes and stood to the E. in cleare Sea having lost sight of the Shallop in the end they tooke in top sailes righted their helme and lay in foresaile untill they had ransacked and searched all places in the Ship in the hold they found one of the vessels of meale whole and another halfe spent for they had but two they found also 2 firkins of butter some 27 peeces of porke and halfe a Bushell of pease but in the Mrs. cabbine they found 200 of Bisket Cakes a peck of meale of Beare to the quantity of a Butt now when it was said that the Shallop was again come within sight they let fall the maine saile and out top sailes and fly as from an enemy Then he prayed them to remember themselves but Wilson nor the rest would heare of no such matter comming high the E. shore they cast about to the W. and came to an Iland where they anckred in 16 fathoms and tries on shoare with the net for fish but could not drive for rockes Michaell Peirce killed two fowle and heare they found good store of weed called cockle grasse of which they gathered as in their wintering place and came on board they lay there that night and the most of the next day in which time they see not the Shallop nor ever after now came He● Greene and told him that it was the companies will that he should go up into the Mrs. cabbine and take charge thereof he told him that it was more fit for Rob. Iuet he said he should not come in it nor meddle with the Mrs. Card nor Iournals so up he came and Hen. Greene gave the key of the Mrs. chest and told him that he had layde the Mrs. best things together which he would use himselfe when time did serve the bread was also delivered this writer by tale The winde serving they stand N E. and this was Bylots course contrary to Ivet who would have gone N West they had the E. shoare in sight and in the night had a stiffe gale of wind and stood before it untill they met with Ice and stoode amongst the same untill they were fast it was so thicke on head and the winde brought it so fast on a sterne that they could not stirre backewards and so laid there 14 dayes in worse plight then ever before they had beene where was great store yet it lay not so broad upon the water as this for this sloating Ice continued miles and halfe miles in compasse having a deepe Sea and a tyde of flood setting S E. and N W. but Bil●t was confident to goe through to the N E. as he did At length being cleare of the Ice he continued his course in sight of the East shore untill he had raised 4 Ilands which lay North and South but past them 6 or 7 leag where the wind tooke them short they stood backe to them againe and came to anckor betweene 2 of the
the Iles of Gods mercy the Master sent this Author over to discover this Iland to the North and North-West he met with a covery of Partridges and kild onely the old one it was barren land having nothing thereon but water plashes and torne Rockes as though it had beene subiect to earthquakes to the North of this Iland there is a great bay or Sea they know not what it may prove there was a great Iland of Ice on ground which with the spring tide was set on float and carried to the N W. but came not backe within sight here they found some drift wood on shoare From thence he stood to S W. to double the land to the W. off him through many peeces of Ice at length he found a cleare Sea and raised land to the N W. whereupon he stood more to S. then before and fell amongst Ice which he would have doubled to the N. but could not then he stood to the S W. amongst the Ice and strove to get to the land but could not for the Ice from out of this bay he stood to the North and was soone cleare of the Ice then he stood to S. W. and W. where he was inclosed with land and Ice having land on the one side from the S. to the N W. and on the other side he see land from E. to W. but the land that lay to the N. and lay E. and W. was but an Iland he went so farre as he could and made fast to the Ice the tyde brought upon him but the ebbe did open and made way and 7 or 8 houres he was cleare and with the great Ilands of Ice was carried to the N W. He stands to the W. along the S. shoare and raised 3 Capes or headlands one above another the middlemost is an Iland with a Bay which he thinkes will prove a good harbour he names them Prince Henries Forland when he had laid these he raised another which was the extreame part of the land looking towards the N. upon it are two hils but one above the rest like an humlocke he names it King Iames his Cape to the N. of this lyes certaine Ilands he names it Queen Annes Forland he still followed the N. shoare beyond the Kings Forland there is a Bay wherein lyeth some broken land and close to the maine but he passed by on the night From thence he stood to the N. and W. to double this land againe and fell with land that stretched from the maine like a shoare from S to N. and from N to W. and downe to S again here a storme takes him and he stands to N. and raises land then he stood to S. againe for he was loathat any time to see the N. shoare the storme continuing and he comming to the S. he found himselfe shot to the W. a great way which he mervailed at considering his leaward way to S. W. ward off this land there is a hill he named Mount Charles to the N. and beyond this is an Iland that to the East hath a fore head land and beyond it to the W. other broken land where he thinks may be found a good harbour he names this Cape Salisbury He then left those lands to the North-East and fell into a ripline or overfall of a current which he thought to be shoald water but had no ground he put on still in sight of the South-land and raised land 2 leag from the maine he tooke it to be the North maine but it proved an Iland having a very faire Head-land to the West which he named Cape Digges on the other side to the East was another Cape or head-land which he called Cape Worstenholme betwixt which two he sailed South He sends the Boate on shore to Digges his Iland and in her going she was overtaken by a storme of Raine Thunder and Lightning they came to the N East-side being high-land but with much adoe going to the highest part they find some plaine ground and Deere 4 or 5. And after 16 in one Heard but could not come nigh them with Musket shot Thus going from place to place they see to the West a Hill higher then all the rest it was steepe and they could not get vp to it but on the South-west side and on that side was a great water pond from whence on the South runneth a streame of water as much as would drive a Mill falling into the Sea and in this place bred great store of Fowle and the best grasse grew there they had seene since their comming from England they found Sorrell and Scurvey-grasse in great aboundance they found likewise Hills made like to hay-cockes within which were great store of Fowle hanged by the neckes they tooke many of them and downe a valley carried them to their Boate. In this time the Master had brought in the Ship betweene the two lands shot off some peeces to call the boat on board for it was a fogge they perswaded him to stay heere for refreshing but he would not but sailed downe to the S. the land beares E from him and the same Maine that he had all the time followed he looseth the sight thereof because it fell away to the East and after he had sailed 25 or 30. leag he came to shallow water broken ground and Rockes which he passed to the S. and in a storme of winde the water still shoalding he came to anchor in 15 fathomes After this he wayed and stood S E. for so the Land laid and came to have land on both sides then he anchored and sent the Boate on land the Land on the W. was a very narrow point and to the S. there was a large Sea He stood to the South betweene these two Lands in this place not above two leagues and in the sight of the East-shore in the end he lost sight thereof and came into the bottome of a bay into 6. or 7. fathom water then he stands vp againe to the N. by the West-shore vntill he came to an Iland in 53 deg where he tooke in water and ballast From thence he passed to the N. but some 2 or 3 dayes after there fell some reasoning concerning their comming into this Bay and going out the Master takes occasion to reviue old matters and displaces his Mate Robert Ivet and also his Boate-swaine for words spoken in the great Bay of Ice he places Robert Bylot his Mate and William Wilson Boate-swaine and then stands vp to the N vntill he raised land and then downe to the S. then vp againe to the N. and then downe to the S. and on Michaelmas day he came in and went out from certaine Ilands which he sets downe for Michalmas Bay from thence he stood to the N. and came into shole water the weather thicke and foule He anchored in 6 or 7 fadomes and lay there 8 dayes before which time he could
West Southward The newes from land was that this Iland was a Sepulchre for that the Salvages had laid their dead I cannot say interred for it is all stone as they cannot dig therein but lay the Corpes upon the stones and wall them about with the same Co●●ining them also by laying the sides of old sleddes above which have been artificially made the boards are some 9 or 10 foot long 4 inches thicke in what manner the tree they have bin made out on was cloven or sawen it was so smooth as we could not discerne the burials had been so old and as in Da 12 Moneths Iuly other places of those countries they bury all their Vtensels as bowes arrowes strings darts lances and other implements carved in bone the longest Corpes was not above 4 foot long with their heads laid to the West it may be that they travell as the Tartars and the Samoides For if they had remained here there would have been some newer burials there was one place walled 4 square and seated within with earth each side was 4 or five yards in length in the middle was 3 stones laid one above another mans height we tooke this to be some place of Ceremony at the buriall of the dead neare the same place was one station laid stone upon stone as though they would have something remarkeable there was fowle but so skadle as they would not abide them to come neere them and Ravens bigger then ours we rob'd their graves to build our fires and brought a whole boates loading of fire-wood on board their Corpes were wrapped in Deare skinnes their Darts were many of them headed with Iron and nailes the heads beaten broad wayes in one of their Darts was a head of Copper artificially made which I tooke to be the work of some Christian and that they have come by it by the way of Canada from those that Trade with the English and French Our men found stinking oyle in a fish gut and some small Whale Finnes this Iland I named Sir Thomas Rowes Welcome I stood off into 33 fathomes that night untill clocke 2 the wind West for I was directed by the letter of my instruction to set the course from Carie Swannes Nest N W by N. So as I might fall with the Westside in 63 d. and from thence Southward to search the passage diligently all the Bay about untill I came to Hudsons Bay I was in latitude 63 d. 37 m. plying up with S W. winds Da 28 very faire and cleare weather I saw as it were a headland to the South and petty Islands and broken ground of the Maine here was great store of fish leaping and many Seales I saw one Whale this day the land lyeth S. W. and by S. along I stood W. about the headland the last day shewed me in 7 Da 29 and 8 fathomes untill I raised another white Iland bearing S. W. and betwixt that Iland the Maine which I had now brought N. W. on me there was as it had been a Caw see or ridge of stone but bearing with the E. thereof I fell into 35 and 40 fathomes the tide runne W. by S. one mile ● 7 in one Moneths July houre After this it fell to be easie wind I sent the boate to the land and plyed with the ship thereunto for that wind which was blew from thence and comming neere it after Sunne-set we could see 2 or three huge Whales playing close by the land side in shoale water for we without them in the ship had but 12 fathomes I stood to the S W. end of the Island and there stayed for my boat which came at clocke 11 in the night she had been 14 Glasses from the ship which was thus imployed Item in Rowing to the land 4. one in chasing of Duckes in the next the water fell 9 Inches and for 3 more in the one it fell 3 Inches in the other it flowed 3 Inches and in the 2 last it flowed 2 foot ½ so as it flowed about 10 foot but I doe trust to this In their comming on board they Anchored in 8 fathomes at the Iland point and that was 2 Glasses after those formerly accounted the Tide came from N E. and by E. at 3 miles ½ one houre this point of the Iland made the Tyde goe sharpe by this it may be gathered that it was full Sea at ½ past 12. it cannot be otherwise computated but that it floweth here S W. it being 3 dayes before the full Moone But I am not fully acertained of this Tyde as yet for those Ilands have their severall indrafts and sets betwixt one another for at clock 1. it set W by S. and now it hath neere the same set continuing from 1 unto 10 of clocke more then 9 houres it seemeth strange unto me being a Tyde and no Current to be better satisfied I cannot for the best will runne at their pleasure when they are on land to seeke for such things as the shoare may afford them the worst worst able to give account must keep the boat therefore this account cannot hold with truth nor doth it I named this Iland Brooke Cobham thinking then of the many furtherances this Voyage received from that Honourable Knight Sir Iohn Brooke whom together with Master Henry Brigges that famous Mathematicall Professor were the first that countenanc'd me in this undertaking This Noble Knight graced me in the delivering of my Petition to his Majestie and afterwards brought me to his Royall Presence there to shew the hopefull possibility of the attempt And after this persisting in his kindnesse invited mee to his owne Table where I had my dyet continually assisting Moneths July me with monies towards my expence as also paying for the charge of the Privie Seale and for the ships bringing about from Chatham to London and in some with Master Brigges was at all the charge hereof while the Voyage was put off untill the next yeere when that yong Sir John Wolstenholme was appointed Treasurer Now for this Iland it is all of a white Marble of indifferent height with many water Ponds therein and great store of Fowle especially water fowle they brought on board two goodly Swannes and a young Tall Fowle alive it was long headed long neckt and a body almost answerable for it was but pen-feathered I could not discerne whether it was an Estridge or no within 3 or 4 dayes the legges by mischance were broken and it dyed Our dog being on land hounded himselfe at a Stagge or Reine Deere and brought him to obey Peter Neshfield one of the Quarter-Masters followed the chase and having neither Gun nor Lance let him goe it may be he tooke compassion when he saw the Deere shed teares the dog having hurt his feet very sore upon the hard stones was not able to pursue him and so they parted with blood-shed but it came from the Deere and Dogs feet they did imagine that
by espying certaine Worlockes which the Captaine had caused to be set as Beacons for to give him knowledge of their being In this his absence from the Admirall the Saluages had done them much violence the Captaine had taken three of of them whom he kindly intreated others of them he slew this evening he takes in his provision of fresh water He sets on land one young man to be left in the Countrey to his cruell fortune and this was done by expresse command of the State-holder of Denmarke before his comming sorth they also in the Pinnace set another on land both being malefactors giving of them small necessaries It may be those people lived a long time after and may bee yet living if the Salvages have not dev●ured them he sets sailes and comes to Sea where he found much drift Ice with a high Sea which he thought to be a current setting through Fret●●● Davis to the Southward as by experience he proved for by observation this day at noone he was in Latitude 62 deg 40. m. whereas the day before he was in Latitude 66 deg 10 min. having made by account a S by W. way about 10 leagues this current he did find to set along the Coast of Groenland South by East 15 This day he was in Latitude 57 degrees the 16 day close weather he meetes with a mighty skull of Whales amongst drift Ice and meetes also a great current setting West North-west over for America This is the current found by Frobrisher comming from the East and butting upon the East-side of Groenland and doth strike along the Land to Cape Christianus otherwise called Cape Farewell 1 Hee met with a skull of Herrings so that he knew himselfe not farre from Orkney he was in Latitude 58 deg 40 m. and sounding had 42 fathomes very sandy ground with some blacke dents when shortly after and the same day in the evening he sounded againe and had but 20 fathomes dented ground he was neere the shore before he saw it for it was thicke weather 10 He came to Elsenore Rode in Denmarke The second Voyage of Master Iames Hall from Denmarke to the further discovery of Groenland with five Shippes observed 1606. ●7 HEe set forth from Copemanhaven and went betwixt Orkney and Shotland the 7 of Iu●e which day one of the Groenlanders dyed it seemed it was one of them he had brought from thence the yeare before 14 He accounteth himselfe to be 19 deg 45 min. from the Meridian of the Naes of Norway 14 He steereth away W. the wind S E. and thick weather he imagineth himselfe in 58 deg 10 min. Latit at which time by reason of a Northerly Current contrary to his expectation he had made a West way Southerly 22 leagues and then as he supposeth the Compasse varied West-ward one point 1 He sees land being 8 leag off with a great banke of Ice lying off the S W. end thereof he supposeth it to bee Busse Iland and that it lyeth more to the West-ward then it is placed in the Marine charts Steering away W by N. he was in a great Current setting S S. W. the which he did suppose did set betwixt Jseland and Busse I le over with America from hence he steeres away W N W. 6 He found himselfe to be in 58 deg 50 min. whereby contrary to his expectation he did plainly see the South-erne current to be the cause this Evening he found the Compasse to be varied 12 deg 5 min. West-ward this Night their Pinnace and Vice-admirall come foule of one another 8 He was in 59 deg 30 min. and findes still the Current and variation to carry him to the South-ward of West 10 He sees the Coast of America in Latit 60 deg 16 min. about 9 leagues off and findes the needle varied 23 deg W. the hill tops were covered with snow the shore to the N. full of Ice he had a Current set West into the shore and indangers him Had not a gale fresh at S West brought him off 18 Vntill this day he passed many Mountaines of Ice at Noone was in 63 deg 45 min. Latit 19 Being amongst much Ice and plying to get cleare saith he seeth the Land of America in 64 Latit it lay S and N. very high and ragged covered with Snow He findes still a strong Current to the West from the Latit 51. his Compasse was placed ¾ of a point to East-ward of N and was carried almost 4 points to West-wards beyond his judgment he found this Current to set W N W. the Compasse varied 23 degrees From the 20 vntill the 25. he passeth and traverseth over from the West side for Groyneland and had sight of Queene Annes Cape 10. leagues off 27. He seeth the Capes he named the last yeare as Cape Annt Cape Sophy the Foords also as Rumells foord Christianus foord and puts into Coninghams foord where he saith the Silver was The Salvages come on board and barter with them for Iron with Seale skinnes and Whale-fynne he searcht vp the Foord and findes it to be but a Bay with many greene and pleasant Ilands the people to the number of 25. followes them with their Boates some of his men on Land travailes vp the Mountaines and sees raine Deere 6 There fell some small difference amongst them about choosing of an anchoring place the water being deepe and they removing from their first Road-sted further vp the River where it floweth S E. and N W. in Latitude 66 deg 25. minutes 9 The Captaine went vp the River with his Boate where they came to see their winter Houses which were builded with Whales bones the baulkes thereof were of Whales ribbes and covered with Earth they had certaine vaults or roomes vnderground 4 square two yards deepe in the Earth The towne consisteth of about 40. houses they found the buriall of their dead the Corps wrapped in Seale-skinnes and stones laid in the manner of a Coffin over them This day they take 5 of the inhabitants to bring into Denmarke to be informed of their Country which they call Seca●●nga and say that within the Land they have a great King who is carried vpon mens shoulders 10 They come forth of Rumels foord and in great danger got to Sea being inforced betweene certaine Ilands which lye off Cape Sophie 4 leagues into the Sea the last yeare he named them Knights Ilands being got there he came into 66. deg 50. min. La●it W N W. from Cape Sophy 15 leag off 18 He goes within sight of shore being all high land like Ilands and great store of Ice betwixt him and the same 28 He coasted to and againe amongst Ice vntill this day having had a storme and meetes one of his Fleete which had beene separated from him he fell with two bankes of Ice and is 8 leag off Desolation by account but could not
not have one houre to get vp his anchor the winde then ceasing the Master would have vp the anchor against the mind of all that knew what belonged therevnto but when he had his anchor on peake the Ship tooke one sea and threw them all from Capstone and diuers were hurt he left his anchor and saved most of his Cable for the Carpenter had laid his axe ready to cut the Cable if occasion should so fall out From hence he stands to S W. through a cleare Sea of divers soundings and came to a Sea of two coulours one blacke the other white and 16 or 17 fadom water betweene which he went 5 or 6 leag the night comming on he goes in his maine and fore-saile and came into 5 or 6 fathomes he saw no land for it was darke so that he stood to the East and had deeper water and then stood to the S. and S. W. and came to the West● most bay of all in this bay wintred Captaine Iames of Bristow in this bay neerest to the N. shore he anchored and sent on Land his boate he found the land flat and his men saw the footing of a man a ducke in the snowy Rockes and found good store of wood heere he saw a ledge of Rockes lying S. and N. to the South-ward off him and flowed over at full sea and a strong tide set in there he weyed anchor at midnight and thought to stand forth as he came in but it fortuned that hee runne upon these Rockes and sate there for 12 houres but by Gods mercy he got off againe unhurt though not unafrighted He then stood up to the East and raised 3 hils lying North and South he went to the furthermost and left it to the North he came into a Bay and anchored and sent the Carpenter and this writer to looke for a place to winter it being the last of October the nights long and cold the earth all covered with Snow themselves wearied having spent 3 moneths in a labyrinth in this Bay they went downe to the East to the bottome there but returned not with that they went for the next day he went to the South and S West where he found a place unto which hee brought his ship and hailed her on ground and on the 10 day she was froze in now hee lookes to the lengthning of his provision He was victualled for 6 moneths with good provision and might have had more from home if he would now hee must pinch for that he knew of no supply untill he came the next yeere to Cape Digs where the Fowle breed for there was all his hopes wherefore hee propounded reward to him that either killed beast fish or fowle his Gunner dyed about the middle of this moneth he blameth the Masters uncharitable dealing with this man but note what followed The Master kept in his house at London a young man named Henry Greene borne in Kent of worthy Parents but by his life and conversation he had lost the love of all his friends spent all that he had but by the means of one Master Venson his mother parted with 4 l. to buy him cloathes which money he was not trusted with the disposing of himselfe this Henry Greene was not knowne to the Adventurers nor had any wages but came onely on board at Graves-end and at Harwich would have gone into the field with one Wilkinson of our Company at Island he fell out with the Chirurgion in Dutch and he beat him on shore in English which set all the Company in a rage so that they had much adoe to get the Chirurgion on board againe this Author told the Master of it but he bade him let the matter alone for said he the Chirurgion hath a tongue that would wrong the best friend he had but Robert Iuet the Masters Mate would needs put his fingers in the Embers and told the Carpenter a long tale when he was drunke that the Master had brought in Greene to cracke his credit that should displease him which when the Master heard of being forty leagues from Island he would have gone backe to Island to have sent Juet his Mate home in a Fisherman but being otherwise perswaded all was well and Greene stood upright and was very inward with the Master and was a serviceable man every way for manhood but for Religion he would say he was white Paper whereon he might write what he would now the Gunner was dead and then as order is in such cases if the Company stand in neede of any thing belonged to the man that is deceassed then is it brought to the maine Mast and there sold to them that will give the most for it this Gunner had a gray cloth Gowne which Greene prayed the Master to befriend him so much as to let him have it paying for it as another would give the Master said he should and therefore answered some who sought for it that Greene should have it and none else Now out of time and season the Master called the Carpenter to goe in hand with a house on shore which at the beginning hee would not heare of when it might have beene done the Carpenter told him that the Snow and Frost was such as hee neither could nor would goe in hand with such worke which when he heard he feretted him out of his cabbine and struck him calling him by many foule words and threatned to hang him the Carpenter tolde him that he knew what belonged to his place better then he did and that he was no house Carpenter yet the house was made with much labour to no end the next day after the Master and the Carpenter fell out the Carpenter tooke his Peece and Henry Greene with him for it was ordered that none should goe out alone but one with a Peece another with a Pike this did move the Master so much more against Greene that Robert Bylot his mate must have the Gowne and had it delivered unto him which Henry Greene seeing he charged the Mr. with his promise but the Mr. did so raile on Greene with so many words of disgrace telling him that all his friends durst not trust him with 20 shillings therfore why should he and as for wages he was to have none nor should if he did not please him yet the Mr. had promised him as good wages as any man in the ship and to have him one of the Princes Guard at his home cōming but you shall see how the Divell so wrought out of this that Greene did the Master what mischiefe he could in seeking to discredit him and to thrust him and other honest men out of the ship to speake of all the troubles and of this cold Winter would be too tedious Now he sheweth how mercifully God dealt with them in this time for in the space of three moneths he had such store of one kinde of Fowle which were
25 25 25 fathomes at the distance of 7 leagues from my last nights Anchoring place I met another Iland three or foure more within it all lying almost without sight of the Maine I stood within them to seven fathomes and tooke about to make a perfect discovery of the Maine which done I Veered away the wind still about North North West I went to Seaward off the said Iland at whose Northeast end there lay a reefe which with the ebbe that fell over it made a great Ripling or Race so as I could discerne thereby when I might edge up againe here in this Overfall was a Sea Mors I tooke this to be the Checkes latitude 61 degrees 10 minutes I went over in nine fathomes and then standing Southwest came presently into twentie I hoped now for a sight of Hubberts comfortable Hope the land lay along Southwest and Northeast it hath blowen all this day to Course and Bonnet at night I Anchored at twenty fathomes two or three leagues from shore the land is low but within are many water ponds and small growne wood I stood along all those supposed Checkes from my last Da 3 nights Roade into 3. fathomes upon the shoare the land lowe but now and then a Sandie knowle or downe would appeare Moneths August much like the coast of Holland and ●landers wee made way S W. and by W. 10 leag and divers times see dry shelves betweene us and the shoare The Latit w is 60 d. 22 m. this afternoone was small wind from S W. and I sent the boat to the land being about 3 miles off my selfe with ship anchored in 7 fathomes I gave a token that if the water should shoale sodainely they in the boate should shoote off a Musket which before they came to shoare they did here were many Musketoes The Master was in the boate and had but 2 fathomes when they shot all the water within us was shoald so that then we were glad to wade forth although the tyde was flood it flowing 14 inches in two glasses but in further examining I found no good account onely this doth sustice that as I range along the coast I do goe from the tide and that it keepeth course with the Moone and that the further I speed from Sir Thomas Roes welcome it still floweth lesse water and the tides current is the easier here on land the Mr. found the reliques of a birch Cannowe the footings and hornes of Deere both small and great and of fowle an Arrowe headed with a nayle the head beaten broad and put into a shaft of 18 inches long he thought it flowed about 7 foote the floode began about clocke 8. I am sure it was slacke tyde at ship then and I will be slacke to write any more hereof for I cannot season the reckoning taken on shoare After the boates comming on board I stood off 3 glasses to anchor in 13 fathome water Hubbert makes me hope for now I draw nere here the tyde did set S W. and by W. the ebbe E and by South From the last day to this I made way S S W. 5 leag and am Da 4 now in 59 d. 53 m. of Latit standing along betweene 10 and 20 fath S S W. at night 10. I came to a land lying about 2 leag from the Mayne but so dry at low water that you may goe to the firme land betwixt the one and the other this lyeth from my last nights roade 10 leag S and by W. At the dayes appearance I went to this Iland it is all stones Da 5 as the other the Sea hath bin smooth of long time the Sunne rose cleare and at the 4 glasse after lowe water it did flowe 21 inches this was when the half tyde came to take his first set and came with a shuft I did account that it would Moneths August not flow lesse then 18 foote but after this shuft it flowed lesse and lesse untill full Sea that tyde the 3 first glasses did not flow above 2 foote Vpon this Iland were many corpes laid in the same manner as at Sir Thomas Roes Welcome the Salv. inhabitants had lately bin there left the skaddles of their fire they had also sunk a well ston'd it about for there was fresh water therein there was here some store of the ruined fragments of Cannowes and other firre wood with which we laded the boat on board there was also carved toyes in their graves I did Anchor at clocke 8 now these nights begin to be long left I might slip by some Inlet unseene this day was very ●ot and a small gale from S S W. we had all this time very hot dayes euer since we came from Carie Swans nest if that the cold N W. wind had not delayed them this Meridian I was in 59 d. 05 m. I stood off into 20 fath and went in againe to 15. the broken Iland in sight since noone untill this midnight I made way S. 3 leag and then I discerned the land to meete upon my weather bough and a head so I caused to tack about and lay N W. by N. in wind W by S. 5 glasses a leag it seemed to be higher land then I had lately seen from 15 fath deepe yesterday I came S. as before upon 18 and 20 fathoms I stood thus to the Northwards untill day light and then I see my land I was upon yesterday morning and the land within it which I see yesternight stretching into Hubberts Hope I stood about to the Southwards and the day light being come Da 6 on I could see the bottome of Vainely H●apt Hubbert for so I ●●ld it and the South land meeting E and W. the length of it at least 15 leagues I anchored the boate in 20 fathomes the Tyde came N. W. and this is that supposed Tide that set E and W. which was no more but the same Tyde I brought along with mee from Sir Tho. Roes Welcome comming all along the coast S W by S. falling into this Vaine Hope is enforced to alter his course by opposition of the S side of this large Bay and there to set E and W. as the land doth lye 1 mile 2 7. in one houre The Iland I was upon yesterday was doubtlesse the Checks named by Sir Thomas Button for what reason I know not except for that here his hope was crost he tooke it as a checke This land bore from me to the S E. by E. and was gentlie decending down to the Sea side the greenest best like I have Moneths August seene since I came out of the river of Thames and as it were inclosed with thick rowes of Trees betweene one meadowe and another distinct as it were Barne Elmes nere London and at sight hereof I did thinke of them and if there be any keeping of tame Deere or other beasts or tillage in all that countrey I should think it to be there for certainely there
