Northwards, and to the Eastwards of the North, which 

 headland I judged to be Scoutsnesse. At seven of the 

 clocke we changed our course and went North, the wind 

 being at Southsoutheast, and it waxed very thick and 

 mistie, and when it cleered, we went Northnortheast. At 

 a South sunne we lost sight of the Serchthrift, because of 

 the mist, making our way North. And when we lost 

 sight of the shoare and pinnesse, we were within two 

 leagues & a halfe of the shoare : the last land that we 

 saw when this mist came upon us, which is to the North- 

 wards of Scowtsnesse, lay Northnortheast, and South- 

 southwest, and we made our way North untill a west 

 sunne rive leagues.

 ten leagues Northnortheast : and then we went North

 east fortie foure leagues, and then Northeast. From a 

 South sunne untill eight of the clocke, fifteene leagues 

 Northeast. 



20 From that untill Wednesday a South sunne North-

 From that unto a Northwest sunne eighteen leagues 

 Northeast, & then we were within two leagues off the 

 shore, and saw the high land to the Southwards of Low- 

 foot breake out through the mist, and then we went 

 North and by east. 



21 From the sayd Northwest sunne untill foure of the 

 clocke in the morning North and by East ten leagues 

 and a halfe : and then Northnortheast untill a South 

 sunne, the latitude being sixtie nine degrees, and a halfe. 

 From that untill halfe an houre past seven of the clocke,
