Aus der eben angefùhrten Stelle in Tradescant's Journal ersehen 

 wir, dass schon 1618 der Narae „Thrasher" fiir den als Peiniger der VVall- 

 lische bekannten und sogar ,,Balaenarura tyrannus" genannten Delphin, 

 namlich Delphinus (Phocoena) Orca, russisch Kossatka, im Gebrauch war, 

 obgleich damais erst zwanzig Jahre verstrichen waren, seit die Engliinder 

 angefangen hatten sich practisch mit dem Wallfischfang bei Island und 



a flowd presently rising whiche if il had continewed the shipe must needs hâve pe- 

 rished but thanks he to God the next tyd we cam of without any harme. The 

 next day we wear becalmed. The 8 day we mad Gros Iland the wind being fayre 

 but small and much raine in so muche that ail the decks wear leake which for my 

 own part I felt for it rayned doune thourow ail my clothes and beds to the spoyll 

 of them ail. The 8. day at night we met withe on of the state men of war that 

 the Russian Ambassator cam home in of Gape Grâce (achtehalb Leagues nord- 

 ôstlich von der Insel Ssossnowetz). From the 8 to the 10 conltrary winds. From 

 the 10 to the 13 extrême foge so that in 4- or 5 dayes we went but 10 leags 

 a head. Of Cape Gallant (Swàtoi Noss) we wear afrayd of being brought upon a 

 rock (wahrscheinlich Kamen Woronucha) but thank be to God it proved beter. 

 The 14daye being Fridaye we sawe mani whales whear the owner of ship (Nelson) 

 sawe on chased with a thresher and called me to see it but they rose no more. 

 The next day (15.) being Satterday we had a great storme the wind being at East. 

 On Sunday (16.) towards night the storme seased and the wind changed west. That 

 night we^mad the North Cape... On Sunday being the 13. of Seplember l with 

 on were walking on the wash of the shrpe I descreyed lande, whiche was présent 

 aproved by the whole company which land was to the southward of Bofium Ness 

 part of cuntrie of Scotland. Oure Master imaiened it to be the Frithe but could no 

 more tell than any otber. This is in on iuste monthe we had bine without sight 

 of land for the Sunday monthe befor wee had sight of the North Cape of the land 

 called Assumtion... On Friday (18- August; sollte September sein) 12 of the clock 

 we mad Flambrow head. Saturday (19., wieder August statt September) night we 

 recovered Yarmouth road where we anchored and dined in the toune. On Sunday 

 (20.) after dinner we wayed anchor and that night the wind being fayre we recovered 

 Al(J)boroug ihe next moruing being MonJay we wayed and that daye came lo Gra- 

 vesend. On Tuesday the 22 of August (muss September heisseu) we landed at 

 Sayut Katharine ueer London whear God be thanked we ended our viage having
