262 GREENLAND. 



Soullivvard, we wended tlie shallop the second time unto the 

 Northward. William Fakely hereupon, being unwilling to 

 condescend unto our agreement, still perswaded us that That 

 could not possibly bee our Course ; but we, not trusting any 

 longer unto his unskilfull perswasions (though all in him 

 was out of good will and strong conceit of his being in the

 being expired and the opportunitie of the present faire Avinde, 

 wee were much afraid. The Tent being distant ten miles at 

 the least from our Shallop, our men at their comming thither 

 finding the ships to be departed out of the Roade, and not 

 being certaine whether or not they might be at Bottle Cove, 

 (three leagues distant on the other side of the Sownd,) riding 

 there under the Loome of the land ; againe return unto us
