 fell with a Cape or headland called Swetinoz, which 

 is the entring into the Bay of S. Nicholas. At this 

 Cape lieth a great stone, to the which the barkes that 

 passed thereby, were wont to make offrings of butter, 

 meale, and other victuals, thinking that unlesse they 

 did so, their barkes or vessels should there perish, as 

 it hath bene oftentimes seene : and there it is very 

 darke and mistie. Note that the sixt day we passed Arzina reca

 aforesaid, the ninth day of July wee came to Cape 

 Grace, being in the latitude of 66 degrees and 45 

 minutes, and is at the entring in of the Bay of S.
