THE ENGLISH VOYAGES 



man a shoare to know some newes, and to see whether 

 they could heare any thing of our II ships. 



29 Tuesday I went on shoare, and dined with the 

 Captaines deputie, who made mee great cheere : the 

 Captaine himselfe was not as yet come from Bergen : they 

 looked for him every houre, and they said that he would 

 bring newes with him. 



At a Northwest and by North sunne we departed from 

 Wardhouse, toward Colmogro. 



30 Wednesday we came to Kegor, where we met with 

 the winde at East Southeast, so that we were faine to go 

 in to a bay to the Westwards of the point Kegor, where a 

 man may moare 2. or 3. small ships, that shall not draw 

 past 1 1. or 12. foote water, for all windes, an East North- 

 east winde is the worst. It is a ledge of rocks, that 

 defendeth the Northerly winds from the place where they 

 moare. When we came into the bay we saw there a 



\\Or,Trondon. barke which was of II Dronton, & three or foure Norway 

 yeaghes, belonging to Northberne : so when I came a 

 shoare, I met first with the Dutchmen, amongst whom 

 was the Borrow-masters sonne of Dronton, who tolde me 

 that the Philip and Mary wintered at Dronton, and 

 departed from thence for England in March : and withall 

 he shewed me that the Confidence was lost, and that he 

 had bought her sailes for his ship. Then the Dutch-men 

 caried me to their Boothe, and made me good cheere, 

 where I sawe the Lappians chepen of the said Dutchmen, 

 both silver platters and dishes, spoones, gilt rings, 

 ornaments for girdles of silver & gilt, and certaine things 

 made to hang about the necke, with silver chaines 

 belonging to them. 



The Dutchmen bring hither mightie strong beere, 

 I am certaine that our English double beere would 

 not be liked of the Kerils and Lappians, as long as that 

 would last. 



Here I sawe the Dutchmen also have course cloth, both 

 blew, greene and redde, and sad horseflesh colour : And 

 hither they bring also Ottars cases and foxe cases, both
