80 VOYAGES TO THE NORTHERN PARTS OF RUSSIA AND SIBERIA.
into a found which is called Ultar Sound, where was a fhip of the king of Denmark
put into another found thereby, being two leagues to the fouthwards of us, that came
out of Iceland: the wind was contrary for us at 5S. 5. W.
The twelith day of November we fet fail, the wind being at the E. S.E. and pafled
through the found where the King’s fhip did lie: which found is called Sloure Sound,
But as we did open the found, we found the wind atthe S. W., fo that we could do
no good, fo that we moored our fhip between two iflands, until the eighteenth day,
and then the weather being fair and calm, we fet fail, and went to fea hoping to find a
fair wind, but in the fea we found the wind at the S. W., and S.S. W., fo that we
were con{trained to return into the fame found.
‘Lhe next day being the ninteenth the King’s fhip came out alfo, becaufe fhe faw us put
to fea, and came as far out as we, and moored where we did moor afore: and at our re-
turn back again, we moored our fhip in an outer found called Scorpe Sound, becaufe
the King’s fhip was without victuals, and we did not greatly defire her company, al-
though they defired ours. In this found the pole is elevated 62° 47’. Thus we lay
{till for a wind until the firft of December, which day we fet failat fix o’clock in the
morning, and at four in the afternoon we laid it to the inwards.
Vhe ninth day we had fight of the coaft of Scotland which was Buchannels.
‘The tenth day we were open off the Frith.
The eleventh day at four in the morning we were thwart of Barwike: at fix we were
thwart of Bamburch: the fame day at ten at night we were fhot as far as Hollytoote.
Then the wind came to the S. and S. E., fo that we lay ftill until the next day in the
morning, and then we were conftrained to put with Tinmouth. The fame day at
night we haled aground to ftop a leak, which we found to be in the fkarf afore. ‘The
wind continued by the S. E. and 8. S. E. until the twentieth day, and then we fet fail
about twelve at might, bearing along the coatt.
The twenty-fecond day by reafon of a S. E. wind, we thought we fhould have been
put into Humber, but the wind came to the W., fo that we haled S. E.: and at three
in the afternoon we haled a fea board the fands, and had fhoal water off Lymery and
Owry, and were in four fathoms off them, ‘The next day we haled as we might to
feafe Orfordnefle.
The twenty-fourth day we came thwart of the Nafe, about eight in the morning.
The twenty-fifth day, being the nativity of Chrift, we came to an anchor between
Oldhaven and Tilbury hope. ‘The fame day we turned as high as Porthet.
The twenty-fixth day we turned as high as Ratcliffe, and praifed God for our fafe
return. And thus I end, 1580.
‘The William with Charles Jackman arrived at a port in Norway, between Trondem
and Roftock in Oétober 1580, and there did winter: and from thence departed again
in February following, and went in company of a fhip of the king of Denmark toward
Iceland: and fince that time he was never heard of.
