1556. 



Thursday the wind came Westerly, so that we were 13 

 faine to seeke us another place to ride in, because the 

 wind came a seaboord land, and although it were misty, 

 yet wee followed the shoare by our lead : and as we 

 brought land in the winde of us, we let fall our anker. 

 At a West sunne the mist brake up, so that we might see [I. 282.] 

 about us, and then we might perceive that we were entred 

 into a sound. 



This afternoone we tooke in two or three skiffes lading The uncer- 

 of stones to balast our shippe withall. It hyeth here teintie of 

 foure foot water, and floweth by fits, uncertaine to be e ^ m S &

judged. 



Friday we road still in the sound, the wind at South- 1 + 

 west, with very much raine, and at the end of the raine it 

 waxed againe mistie. 



Saturday there was much winde at West, and much 15 

 raine, and then againe mistie. 



Sunday was very mistie, and much winde. 16 



Munday very mistie, the winde at Westnorthwest. 17 



Tuesday was also mistie, except at noone : then the 18 

 sunne brake out through the mist, so that we had the 

 latitude in 70 degrees 10 minutes: the afternoone was 

 misty againe, the wind being at Westnorthwest. 



Wednesday at three of the clocke afternoone the mist 19 

 brake up, & the wind came at Eastnortheast, and then 

 we weyed, and went South & by East, until seven of the 

 clocke, eight leagues, thinking to have had sight of the 

 sandie hilles that are to the Eastwards of the river 

 Pechora. At a Northwest sunne we took in our maine 

 saile, because the wind increased, & went with a foresaile 

 Westnorthwest, the wind being at Eastnortheast : at night 

 there grewe so terrible a storme, that we saw not the like, 

 although we had indured many stormes since we came 

 out of England. It was wonderfull that our barke was 

 able to brooke such monstrous & terrible seas, without 

 the great helpe of God, who never fayleth them at neede, 

 that put their sure trust in him. 



Thursday at a Southsouthwest sunne, thanks be to 20
