56 VOYAGES OF SIR HUGH WILLOUGHBY AND OTHERS,
6. Monday at a fouth fun it was high water. All along the coaft it floweth little,
only a fouth moon makes a full fea; and as we were a weighing we efpied the Ruffle
lodias which we firft loft; they came out of a creck amongft the fandy hills ; which hills
egin fifteen leagues N. N. E. from Cape St. John.
7, Plying this ebb to an end, we came to an anchor fix leagues N. N. E. from the
place where we faw the Rufles come out; and there the Ruffles harboured themfelves
within a funk bank, but there was not water enouch for us. ait
At a north fun we weighed and plyed to the northwards, the land lying N.N. E. and
S.S. W. until a fouth fun, and then we were in the latitude of 68° 30’. ; and in this
latitude end thofe fandy hills, and the land beginneth to lie N. and by W., S. andbyE.,
and N. N. W., and to the weftwards, and there the water beginneth to wax deep.
At a N. W. fun we came to an anchor within half a league of the fhore, where we
had good plenty of fifh, both haddocks and cods, riding in 10 fathom water.
8. Wednefday we weighed and plyed nearer to the headland, which is called Ca-
ninoz, the wind being at E. and by N.
g. Thurfday the wind being feant, we turned to windwards the ebb, to get.about
Caninoz: the latitude this day at noon was 68° 40’.
10. Friday we turned to the windwards of the ebb, but to no purpofe; and as we
rode at an anchor, we faw the fimilitude of a ftorm rifing at N.N. W., and could not
tell where to get rode nor fuccour for that wind, and harbour we knew none; and that
land which we rode under with that wind was a lee fhore. And as I was mufing what
was beft to be done, I fawa fail come out of a creek under the forefaid Caninoz, which
was my friend Gabriel, who forfook his harbour and company, and came as near us as
he might, and pointed us to the eaftwards, and then we weighed and followed him, and
went E. and by S., the wind being at W. N. W. and very mifty.
11. Saturday we went E.S.E. and followed Gabriel, and he brought us into an
harbour called Morgiovets, which is thirty leagues from Caninoz, and we had upon the
bar going in two fathom and a fourth part; and after we were pa{t in over the bar it
waxed deeper, for we had five fathoms, four and a half, and three fathom, &. Our
bark being moored, I fent fome of our men to fhore to provide wood, where they had
plenty of drift wood, but none growing ; and in this place we found plenty of young
fowl, as gulls, feapies, and others, whereof the Rufles would eat none, whereof we were
nothing forry, for there came the more to our part.
12. Sunday cur men cut wood on fhore and brought it aboard, and we ballafted
our fhip with ftones.
This morning Gabriel faw a fmoke on the way, who rowed into it with his fkiff, which
fmoke was two leagues from the place where we rode; and at a N. W. fun he came
aboard again, and brought with him a Samoed, which was but a young man; his ap»
parel was then ftrange unto us, and he prefented me with three young wild geefe, and
one young barnacle.
13. Monday I fent a man to the main in Gabriel’s boat, and he brought us aboard
eight barricoes of frefh water : the latitude of the faid Margiovets is 68° 20’. It floweth
there at a S.S. W. moon full fea, and hieth two fathom and a half water.
14. Ata W.N. W. fun we departed from this place, and went E, twenty-five leagues,
and then faw an ifland N. and by W. of us eight leagues, which ifland is called Dol-
goieve; and from the eafternmoft part of this ifland there lieth a fand E. and by S.
feven leagues long.
15. Wednefday at a N. and by E. fun, Swetinoz was S. of us five leagues. This
day at afternoon we went in over the dangerous bar of Pechora, and had upon the bar
but one fathom water.
