STEPHEN BURROUGH a.d. 



1556. 



Plying this ebbe to an end, we came to an anker 7 

 6 leagues Northnortheast from the place where we 

 saw the Russes come out : and there the Russes har- 

 boured themselves within a soonke banke, but there was 

 not water enough for us. 



At a North sunne we weyed and plied to the North- 

 wards, the land lying Northnortheast, and Southsouth- 

 west, untill a South sunne, and then we were in the The latitude 

 latitude of 68 degrees & a halfe : and in this latitude ^ f es ? e ! f 

 ende those sandy hilles, and the land beginneth to lie 

 North and by West, South and by East, and North- 

 northwest, and to the Westwards, and there the water 

 beginneth to waxe deepe. 



At a Northwest sunne we came to an anker within 

 halfe a league of the shore, where wee had good plenty of 

 fish, both Haddocks and Cods, riding in 10 fadom water. 



Wednesday we weyed, and plyed neerer the headland, 8 

 which is called Caninoz, the wind being at East and 

 by North. 



Thursday the wind being scant we turned to windwards 9 

 the ebbe, to get about Caninoz : the latitude this day 

 at noone was 68 degrees 40 minutes. 



Friday we turned to the windward of the ebbe, but to 10 

 no purpose : and as we rode at an anker, we saw the [I. 279.] 

 similitude of a storme rising at Northnorthwest, & could 

 not tell where to get rode nor succor for that winde, and 

 harborough we knew none : & that land which we rode 

 under with that winde was a lee shore. And as I was 

 musing what was best to be done, I saw a saile come out 

 of a creeke under the foresayd Caninoz, which was my 

 friend Gabriel, who forsooke his harborough and com- 

 pany, and came as neere us as he might, and pointed 

 us to the Eastwards, & then we weyed and followed him, 

 and went East and by South, the wind being at West- 

 northwest, and very mistie. 



Saturday we went Eastsoutheast & followed Gabriel, n 

 and he brought us into an harborough called Morgiovets, Mor&ovets an 

 which is 30 leagues from Caninoz, & we had upon the harbour.
