our boate : whereupon we plied toward our boate : and 

 wee being in our boate and they ashoare, they called to 

 us, and we rowed to them, and one of their company 

 came into our boate, and we carried him a boord, and 

 gave him a Bell, and a knife : so the Captaine and I 

 5. of our men willed five of our men to set him a shoare at a rocke, 

 taken by the an j not amon g the company, which they came from, 

 but their wilfulnesse was such, that they would goe to 

 them, and so were taken themselves, and our boate lost. 



The next day in the morning, we stoode in neere the 

 shoare, and shotte off a fauconet, and sounded our 

 trumpet, but we could heare nothing of our men : this 

 sound wee called the five mens sound, and plyed out of 

 it, but ankered againe in thirtie fathome, and oaze : and 

 riding there all night, in the morning, the snow lay a 

 foote thicke upon our hatches. 



The 22. day in the morning we wayed, and went 

 againe to the place where we lost our men, and our boate. 

 We had sight of foureteene boates, and some came neere 

 to us, but wee could learne nothing of our men : among 

 the rest, we intised one boate to our ships side, with 

 a Bell, and in giving him the Bell, we tooke him, and 

 his boate, and so kept him, and so rowed downe to 

 Thomas Williams Island, and there ankered all night. 



The 26. day we waied, to come homeward, and by 

 12. of the clocke at noone, we were thwart of Trumpets 

 Island. 



The next day we came thwart of Gabriels Island, and 

 at 8. of the clocke at night we had the Cape Labrador 

 as we supposed West from us, ten leagues. 



The 28. day we went our course Southeast. 



We sailed Southeast, and by East, 22. leagues. 



The first day of September in the morning we had 

 sight of the land of Friseland, being eight leagues from 

 us, but we could not come neerer it, for the monstrous 

 yce that lay about it. From this day, till the sixth of this 

 Moneth, we ranne along Island, and had the South part 

 of it at eight of the clocke, East from us ten leagues. 



They returne.
