APPENDIX 355 



Coles Bay (Pellham, 1631). — Of late years generally but wrongly called 



Coal Bay. 

 Advent Bay. — A modern name. The true old name was Klaas Billen 



Bay (G. and R. 1707), but this name has been transplanted across 



the Sound, and any attempt to alter it now would lead to hopeless 



confusion. 

 Sassen or Sassele Bay (G. and R. 1707). — Zorgdrager marks Sassen Bay 



as the name of the whole inner part of Ice Sound. 

 Gips Hook was called V Middelland by the Dutch. 

 Safe (Behouden) Haven (Gerritsz, 1613). — A name that has seldom been 



confused. This bay was called Niches Cove by Edge (1625). 

 Osborne's Inlet (Gerritsz, 161 3). — It is named S. Jans Bay by Middel- 



hoven (1634) and all later cartographers. 

 Cove Comfortlesse (Gerritsz, 1 6 1 3). — The English Bay of all later writers. 

 Prince Charles Foreland or Kijn Island (Gerritsz, 16 13). — Generally 



named the Foreland 'in old charts. '7 lang Eylandt (Blaeu, 1664). 

 Saddle Point. — The S. point of the Foreland. It is possible that when 



first seen, the hill at the S. end of the Foreland was an island 



separated from the rest. Even now it has that appearance except 



from close at hand, when the low intervening land appears. There 



are two names — Black Point (Gerritsz, 1613), A'yn's Cape, Kianas 



(Goos, 1666), or Kynnae (Commelin, 1642), applied to this South 



Cape or Zuydhoeck (Goos, 1666); but, of these names, the former 



at any rate belonged properly to a point on the main mass of the 



island. 

 Saul Berg (G and R. 1707). — The hill behind Saddle Point. 

 Black Point (Swartenhoeck) (Gerritsz, 16 13). —The point at the S. end 



of the main hill-range of the Foreland. It is called also Middle 



Hook by Scoresby. 

 Persch Riff. — A shoal perhaps represented by the problematical Goshawk 



Pock of the chart. Just S. of it there is written on G. and R. 



(1707), " Hier begint 't Gobergti of de Zuyd Hook." 

 Cape Siettoe (Colom, 1648). — A point on the W. coast of the Foreland, 



N. of Black Point. 

 Cape Cold. — Named in Gerritsz (16 13), perhaps the same as Cape 



Siettoe. 

 Vogelhoeck (Barendsz, 1596). — The N. point of the Foreland. It was 



called Faire Foreland by the first English skippers, and sometimes 



the North Hook. 

 Pieter Winter's Baaytje (G. and R., 1707). — A bay in the E. coast of
