cried terriblie. From thence we fell with an Island, 

 called Kettelwicke. 



This coast from Rost unto Lofoot lieth North and 

 south, and from Lofoot to Zenam Northeast and south- 

 west, and from Zenam to Kettelwike Eastnortheast 

 and Westsouthwest. From the said Kettelwike we 

 sailed East and by North 10 leagues, and fell with a 

 land called Inger sound, where we fished, being becalmed, 

 and tooke great plenty of Cods. Thus plying along 

 the coast, we fell with a Cape, called the North Cape, 

 which is the Northermost land that wee passe in our 

 voyage to S. Nicholas, and is in the latitude of 71 

 degrees and ten minutes, and is from Inger sound 

 East, and to the Northwards 15 leagues. And being 

 at this North Cape the second day of July, we had the 

 sunne at North 4 degrees above the Horizon. The 

 third day wee came to Wardhouse, having such mists 

 that we could not see the land. This Wardhouse is a 

 Castle standing in an Island 2 miles from the maine 

 of Finland, subject to the king of Denmarke, and the 

 Eastermost land that he hath. There are two other 

 Islands neere adjoining unto that, whereon the Castle 

 of Wardhouse standeth. The inhabitants of those three 

 Islands live onely by fishing, and make much stocke- 

 fish, which they dry with frost : their most feeding is 

 fish ; bread and drinke they have none, but such as 

 is brought them from other places. They have small 

 store of cattell, which are also fed with fish. From 

 Wardhouse we sailed Southsoutheast ten leagues, and 

 fell with a Cape of land called Kegor, the Norther- 

 most part of the lande of Lappia. And betweene 

 Wardhouse, and the said Cape is a great Bay, called 

 Dommeshaff, in the South part whereof is a Monasterie 

 of Monkes of the Russes religion, called Pechinchow. 

 Thus proceeding forward and sayling along the coast 

 of the said land of Lappia, winding Southeast, the 

 fourth day through great mists and darkenes we lost 

 the company of the other three ships, and met not
