Wednesday we roade still in the sayd river, the winde 10 

 being at the north : we sent our skiffe aland to be 

 dressed : the latitude of the mouth of the river Cola The latitude 

 is sixtie five degrees, fortie and eight minutes. of Cola. 



Thursday at 6 of the clocke in the morning, there n 

 came aboord of us one of the Russe Lodiaes, rowing with A Russe 

 twentie oares, and there were foure and twenty men in Lo ^ a - 

 her. The master of the boate presented me with a great 

 loafe of bread, and sixe ringes of bread, which they call

 and a halfe, at a lowe water : but you shall have no land
