a.d. THE ENGLISH VOYAGES 



1556. 



and then we tooke in all our sailes, because it was then 

 very mistie, and also we met with much ice that ran out 

 of the Bay, and then wee went Southsoutheast with our 

 foresayle : at eight of the clocke, we heard a piece of 

 ordinance, which was out of the Edward, which bade us 

 farewell, and then we shot off another piece, and bade 

 her farewell : wee could not one see the other, because of 

 the thicke miste : at a Northwest sunne it began some- 

 what to cleere, and then we sawe a head lande, and the 

 shoare trended to the Southwestward, which I judged to 

 be about Crosse Island : it was off us at a Northnorth- 

 west sunne, Westsouthwest. 



8 From this Northnorthwest sunne, untill Munday, we 

 went Southeast, and this morning we came at anker 

 among the shoales that lie off of point Looke out, 

 at a Northeast and by East sunne, the wind being at 

 Eastsoutheast. At this poynt Looke out, a south Moone 

 maketh a full sea. Cape good fortune lyeth from the 

 Isle of Crosses Southeast, and betweene them is tenne 

 leagues : point Looke out lieth from Cape Good fortune 

 Eastsoutheast, and betweene them are sixe leagues. S. 

 Edmonds point lieth from point Looke out Eastsouth- 

 east, and halfe a point to the Southwards, and betweene 

 them are sixe leagues. There is betweene these two 

 points, a Bay that is halfe a league deepe, and is full of 

 shoales and dangers. At a Southeast sunne we weyed, 

 and turned to the windwards, the winde being at East- 

 southeast : and at a Southeast sunne, we came to an 

 anker, being then a full sea, in five fadoms and a halfe 

 water. It hieth at this place where we roade, and also 



9 at point Looke out, foure fadome water. At a West- 

 northwest sunne we weyed, and drived to the windewards, 

 untill Tuesday, a Northnortheast sunne, and then being 

 a high water, we came to an anker open of the river Cola, 

 in eight fadome water. Cape S. Bernard lyeth from S. 

 Edmonds point, Southeast and by South, and betwixt 

 them are sixe leagues, and also betwixt them is the River 

 Cola, into which River wee went this evening.
