52 VOYAGES OF SIR f1UGH WILLOUGHBY AND OTHERS,
mift; the latitude this day at a fouth fun 63° 30’ truly taken: at this feafon we had
fight of our pinnace again. i
From that until Tuefday a fouth fun N. N. E. 44 leagues, and then N. E.; froma
fouth fun until eight of the clock, fifteen leagues N. E.
From that until Wednefday a fouth fun N.N.E., except the firft watch N. E.; then
had we the latitude in 67° 39’. From that unto a N. W. fun eighteen leagues N. E. ;
and then we were within two leagues of the fhore, and faw the high land to the fouth-
wards of Lowfoot break out through the mift, and then we went N. and by E.
From the faid N. W. fun until four of the clock in the morning, N. and by E. ten
leagues and a half, and then N.N.E. until a fouth fun, the latitude being 69° 30’.
From that until half an hour paft feven of the clock, N.N.E. eleven leagues and a
half, and then we went N.E. ten leagues. From that three leagues and a half E.N.E.
and then we faw the land through the clouds and hazy thwart on the broadfide of us,
the wind being then at S.S. W.
From that until Saturday, at eight of the clock in the morning, E. N. E., and to the
northwards forty-eight leagues, and then the wind came up at N., we being aboard the
fhore, and thwart of the chapel which I fuppofe is called Kedilwike ; then we calt the
thip’s head to the feawards, becaufe the wind was very fcant; and then I caufed the
pinnace to bear in with the fhore, to fee whether fhe might find an harbour for the
fhips or not, and that fhe found and faw two roaders ride in the found; and alfo they
faw houfes. But notwithftanding, God be praifed, the wind enlarged upon us, that we
had not occafion to go into the harbour; and then the pinnace bare her mizen maft
overboard with flag and all, and loft the flag: with the matt there fell two men over-
board, but God be praifed they were faved; the flag was a token whereby we might
underftand whether there were a good harbour there or not.
Ata north fun the North Cape (which I fo named the firft yoyage) was thwart of us,
which is nine leagues to the eaftwards of the forefaid chapel from the eafternmoft
point of it.
June 7. The Sunday we weighed in Corpus Chrifti bay, at a N. FE. and by E. fun:
the bay is almoft half a league deep ; the headland, which is Corpus Chrifti point, lieth
S. E. and by E. one league from the head of the bay, where we had a great tide, like a
race over the flood: the bay is at the leaft two leagues over ; fo do I imagine from the
Fair foreland to Corpus Chrifti point ten leagues S. E. and by E.; it floweth in this
bay at aS. and by W. moon, full fea. From that we went until feven o’clock at after-
noon twenty leagues S. E. and by S.; and then we took in all our fails, becaufe it was
then very mifty, and alfo we met with much ice that ran out of the bay; and then we
went S.S. E. with our forefail. At eight of the clock we heard a piece of ordnance,
which was out of the Edward, which bade us farewell, and then we fhot off another
piece, and bade her farewell ; we could not one fee the other becaufe of the thick mift :
ata N. W. fun it began fomewhat to clear, and then we faw a headland, and the fhore
trended to the fouthweftward, which I judged to be about Crofs Ifland ; it was off us
at a N.N. W. fun, W.S. W.
8. From this N. N. W. fun until Monday we went S. E., and this morning we came
at anchor among the fhoals that lie off Point Lookout, at a N. E. and by E. fun, the
wind being at E.S.E. At this point Lookout a fouth moon maketh a fullfea. Cape
Good Fortune lieth from the Ile of Crofles S, E. and between them is ten leagues.
Point Lookout lieth from Cape Good Fortune E.S.E., and between them are fix
leagues. St. Edmond’s point lieth from point Lookout E,S.E., and half a point to
