others also, shewing their good will to help us, but all to no 
purpose, for they were likely to have bene drowned for their 
labour, in so much that I desired Gabriel to lend me his 
anker, because our owne ankers were too big for our skiffe 
to lay out, who sent me his owne, and borrowed another also 
and sent it vs.” 
After much trouble Burrough succeeded in getting his vessel 
off the shoal, and then sought for a better anchorage on the 
other side of Cape St. John. 
“ Friday at afternoone we weyed, and departed from 
thence, the wether being mostly faire, and the winde at East- 
southeast, and plied for the place where we left our cable and 
anker, and our hawser, and as soone as we were at an anker the 
foresaid Gabriel came aboord of vs, with 3 or foure more of 
their small boats, and brought with them of their Aquauitse 
and Meade, professing unto me very much friendship, and 
reioiced to see vs againe, declaring that they earnestly thought 
that we had bene lost. This Gabriel declared vnto me that 
they had saued both the ankers and our hauser, and after we 
had thus communed, I caused 4 or 5 of them to goe into 
my cabbin, where I gaue them figs and made them such cheere 
as I could. While I was banketing of them, there came 
another of their Skiffes aboord with one who was a Kerill 
(Karelian), whose name afterwards I learned, and that he 
dwelt in Colmogro, and Gabriel dwelled in the towne of Cola, 
which is not far from the river’s mouth. This foresaid Keril 
said vnto me that one of the ankers which I borrowed was his. 
I gave him thanks for the lone of it, thinking it had bene 
sufficient. And as I continued in our accustomed maner, that 
if the present which they brought were worth enterteinment, 
they had it accordingly, he brought nothing with him, and 
therfore I regarded him but litle. And thus we ended, and 
they took their leaue and went ashore. At their comming 
ashore, Gabriel and Keril were at vnconvenient words, and by 
the eares, as I vnderstand; the cause was because the one had 
better enterteinment than the other; but you shal vnderstand 
that Gabriel was not able to make his party good, because 
there were 17 lodias of the Keril’s company who tooke 
his part, and but 2 of Gabriel’s company. The next high 
water Gabriel and his company departed from thence, and 
rowed to their former company and neighbours, which were
