TO THE NORTHERN PARTS OF RUSSIA AND SIBERIA. 7t
The twenty-fixth day the Toby of Harwich departed from Wardhoufe for London,
Thomas Green being mafter, to whom we delivered our letters.
The twenty-feventh day the wind was at S. S. E. and the twenty-eighth alfo.
The twenty-ninth day, about fix in the afternoon, the wind came to the W. N. W.
for the {pace of one hour, and prefently to the F.. again, and fo was variable all the
fame night.
The thirtieth, about fix in the morning, the wind came to E. S. E., and continued fo
all the fame day.
The firft of July, about five in the afternoon, the wind was at N. N. W. ; and about
feven of the clock we fet fail from Wardhoufe E. and by S.
The fecond day, about five in the morning, the wind was E. and E. S. E. and we did
lie to the fhorewards ; and about ten in the morning the wind came to S.S.E, and we
laid it to the eaftwards ; fometimes we lay E. by S., fometimes E. S. E., and fometimes
E. by N. About five in the afternoon we bare with the William, who was willing to
go with Kegor, becaufe we thought her to be out of trie, and failed very ill, where we
might mend her fteerage; whereupon Maiter Pet, not willing to go into harbour, faid
to Mafter Jackman, that if he thought himfelf not able to keep the fea, he fhould do as
he thought belt, and that he in the mean time would bear with Willoughby’s land, for
that it wasa parcel of our direction, and would meet him at Verove Oftrove, or Vaigats,
and fo we fet our courfe E. N. E., the wind being at S. E.
The third day the wind at S. E. we found the pole to be elevated 70° 46’. The fame
night at twelve of the clock we founded, but had no ground, in 120 fathoms, being
fifty leagues from the one fide by our reckoning E.N.E. from Kegor.
The fourth day all the morning was calm. ‘This cay we found the pole to be ele-
vated 71° 38’. This day, at nine in the afternoon, the wind at N. E. with a gentle
gale, we hald along S. E. by FE.
The fifth day, the wind at N. W., we hald E. and E.byS. This day we faw land,
but we could not make it, the wind being northerly, fo that we could not come near
to it.
The fixth day, about two in the afternoon, the wind at N. N. W. we haldE.S. E.
witha fair and gentle gale. This day we met withice. About fix in the afternoon it
became calm ; we with fail and oars laid it to the N. E. part, hoping that way to clear
us of it; for that way we did fee the head part of it, as we thought: which done, about
twelve of the clock at night we gat clear of it: we did think it to be ice of the bay of
St. Nicholas, but it was not, as we found afterwards.
The feventh day we met with more ice, at the eaft part of the other ice: we hald
along a-weather the ice to find fome end thereof by E.N.E. This day there appeared
more land north from us, being perfect land: the ice was between us and it, fo that we
could not come nearer to it.
The fame morning, at fix of the clock, we put into the ice to find fome way through
it; we continued in it all the fame day, and all the night following, the wind by the
N.N.W.: we were conftrained to go many points of our compafs, but we went moft
an eafterly courfe.
The eighth day, the wind at N. N. W. we continued our courfe, and at five in the
morning we founded and had ninety fathoms red oze. This day, at four in the after-
noon, we founded again, and had eighty-four fathoms oze, as before, At fix in the
afternoon we cleared ourfelves of the ice, and hald along S. E. by S.: we founded again
at ten o’clock at night, and had forty-three fathom fandy oze.
The ninth day, at two in the morning, we founded again, and had forty-five fathoins,
