Stones. Another Sort of Stones we 
found there refembling Cockles, or 
rather a Sort of Mufcles. There is 
alfo Lapis Gagates, or Jet., found in 
the Cliffs hereabout ; but we met not 
with any, befides a Stone which is or 
refembles Brafs-Mine. The Country 
People hereabout told 'us the Story 
related by Camden., that wild Geefe., 
if once they light in Whitby Strand, 
cannot rife again or fly away, as the 
Rhyme is ; 
If the Wild Goofe lights in Whitby Strand, 
The leaf Bearn that is, may take her up in 
his Hand. 
Here hath been a very large and fair 
Abbey, the Church whereof is yet 
ftandirig almoft entire. This belongs 
to the Cholmondeleys. There are the 
fame Sorts of Fifh taken at Whitby 
as at Scarborough', and fome others 
they named to us, as Dabs, Billards,
