THE ENGLISH VOYAGES 



13. day three of the clocke in the after noone, when 

 they left it : and the last part they saw of it, bare from 

 them Northwest by North. There appeared two Har- 

 boroughs upon that coast : the greatest of them seven 

 leagues to the Northwards of the Southermost poynt, the
