A °. THE ENGLISH VOYAGES 



1586. 



was South & by West, and the wind was Northeast, and 

 we ran that day and night about 5. or 6. leagues, untill 

 we came to another harborough. 



The 24. about eleven of the clocke in the forenoone 

 wee entred into the aforesayd new harborow, and as wee 

 came in, we did see dogs running upon the Islands. 

 When we were come in, there came to us foure of the 

 people which were with us before in the other har- 

 borough, and where we rode, we had sandie ground. We 

 saw no wood growing, but found small pieces of wood 

 Sweete wood upon the Islands, & some small pieces of sweete wood 

 * oun ' among the same. We found great Harts homes, but 



could see none of the Stagges where we went, but we 

 found their footings. As for the bones which we 

 received of the Savages I cannot tell of what beasts 

 they be. 



The stones that we found in the countrey were black, 

 and some white, as I thinke they be of no value, 

 neverthelesse I have brought examples of them to 

 you. 



The 30. of August we departed from this harborough 

 towards England, & the wind tooke us contrary, so that 

 we were faine to go to another harborough the same day 

 at 11. of the clocke. And there came to us 39. of the 

 people, and brought us 13. Seale skins, and after we 

 received these skins of them, the Master sent the 

 carpenter to change one of our boates which wee had 

 bought of them before, and they would have taken 

 the boate from him perforce, and when they sawe they 

 could not take it from us, they shot with their dartes 

 at us, and stroke one of our men with one of their dartes, 

 and John Filpe shot one of them into the brest with 

 an arrow. And they came to us againe, and foure of our 

 men went into the shipboate, and they shot with their 

 dartes at our men : but our men tooke one of their 

 people in his boate into the shipboate, and he hurt one of 

 them with his knife, but we killed three of them in their 

 boates : two of them were hurt with arrowes in the brests,
