THE VOYAGE OF THE VEGA. 
[CHAr 
Master Cabot and his friends banketted, and made them that 
were in the company great cheere; and for very joy that he 
had to see the towardness of our intended discovery, he entered 
into the dance himselfe, amongst the rest of the young and 
lusty company.” At Orwell Burrough left his own vessel, in 
order, at the wish of the merchants, to make the passage to 
Vardoehus in the Edward Bonaventure. In the end of May 
he was off the North Cape, which name Burrough says he 
gave to this northernmost headland of Europe during his 
first voyage.^ When Burrough left the Edward Bonaventure 
and went on board his own vessel is not stated, but on the 
June he replied on the Bearclithrift to the parting salute of 
the Edward Bonaventure. On the ^ June Kola was reached, 
and its latitude fixed at 65° 48'.^ 
“ On Thursday the June at 6 of the clocke in the morn¬ 
ing, there came aboord of vs one of the Busse Lodiaes, rowing 
with twentie oares, and there were foure and twentie men in 
her. The master of the boate presented me with a great loafe 
of bread, and six rings of bread, which they call Colaches, 
and foure dryed pikes, and a peck of fine otemeale, and I gave 
vnto the Master of the boate a combe, and a small glasse. He 
declared vnto me that he was bound to Pechora, and after that 
I made to drinke, the tide being somewhat broken, they gently 
departed. The Master’s name was Pheother (Feodor). . . . 
Thursday (the ^ June) we weyed our ankers in the Eiuer Cola, 
and went into the Sea seuen or eight leagues, where we met 
with the winde farre Northerly, that of force it constrained vs 
to goe againe backe into the sayd riuer, where came aboord of 
vs sundry of their Boates, which declared unto me that they 
^ As I have already mentioned, von Herbertstein states that the Russians 
(Istoma and others) as early as 1496 sailed round ihe northern extremity 
of Norway in boats, which when necessary could be carried over land. 
North Cape, or rather Nordkyn, was called at that time Murmanski Nos (the 
Norman Cape). When Hulsius in his collection of travels gives von 
Herbertstein’s account of Istoma’s voyage, he considers Swjatoi Nos on 
the Kola peninsula to be North Cape (Hamel, Tradescant, St. Petersburg, 
1847, p. 40). 
^ This must be a slip of the pen or an error of the press; it was probably 
intended to be 68^ 48'. Kola lies in 68° 51' N. T .
