for the same, and it proving cleere, we saw it, be ing a very ragged Land on the Wester side, rising like Hey-cockes.

The first of August, a very hard gale of wind ať East South-east, we shorted sayle, and steered away South South-west. This night was very foggie, with a hard gale of wind at East and by South, we steered by our account 27 leagues: and from eight this Eeuening till the next morning foure, 10 leagues as afore. All this night was very foggie, wet and raw cold.

The second, in the morning calme with a thicke fog, cold and slabbie weather. About noone we had a little gale West and by North, wee steered away as afore. The third, in the morning calme and cleere weather, with a little gale East and by South, we sayled South South-west: then wee had the wind at South-east, wee sayled as afore. All this day and night proued close weather, a little fogge at noone, which continued not long. At twelue this night the wind vered to the East and by North, wee held our course South South-west, aș afore.

The fifteenth of August, we put into the Iles of Farre, standing in 52 degrees; and the fifteenth of September, I arriued in Tilberie Hope in the Thames.

A second Voyage or Employment of Master HENRY HVDSON, for finding a passage to the East Indies by the North-east: written by himselfe.

THEIR names employed in this action are as followeth Henry Hudson, Master and Pilot; Robert Iuet, the Master his mate; Ludlowe Arnall; Iohn

Cooke, Boatsonne; Philip Stacie, Carpenter; John Barns; Iohn Braunch, Cooke; Iohn Adrey, Iames Strutton, Michael Feirce, Thomas Hilles, Richard Tomson, Robert Raynar, Iohn Hudson, and Humfrey Gilby. The courses obserued in this Iournall were by a Compasse, that the Needle and the North. of the Flye were directly one on the other.

Anno 1608, the two and twentieth of Aprill, being Friday, we set sayle at Saint Katherines, and fell down to Blackewall.

The twentieth of May, at noone by obseruation we were in 64 degrees 52 minutes, and at this time and place the Needle declined vnder the Horizon by the Inclinatory 81 degrees, and wee had a smooth Sea, by meanes whereof my obseruation was good.

The one and twentieth, at night thicke fog, wee sayled North North-east, with the wind at East. The two and twentieth, in the fore-noone the winde at South-east, wee steered North North-east, as afore: in the after-noone little wind and thicke fog; we accounted vs in 67 degrees, the Sea smooth, the Needle declined 82 degrees, this night was calme and cleere. The three and twentieth, in the morning the wind was Easterly, we stood North North-east, and North and by East. All the fore-noone was foggie: in the after-noone it cleered, and the wind shortned vpon vs, we made our way good North all night. The foure and twentieth, the wind at East North-east, and East and by North, we lay as neere as wee could with a full sayle; wee accounted Lowfoot from vs East Northerly, 16 leagues, distant from vs; at foure a clocke this after-noone, wee stood all night, as afore.

The fiue and twentieth, the wind at East Northeast, we stood away North as we could lie: all this day was cleere weather, and searching cold, which cold begunne the one and twentieth day, and then my Carpenter was taken sicke, and so doth yet continue;

and three or foure more of our companie were enclining to sicknesse, I suppose by meanes of the cold. All the night it was calme. The sixe and twentieth, cold but cleere weather, the wind betweene East and East North-east, we stood North-easterly till twelue a clocke at night: then wee had the wind at Northeast and North North-east, we stood South-east and East till noone the next day. The scuen and twentieth, cold and drie weather, at noone we had the wind North and North North-west; Wee stood away North-east, and East North-east, as we could, and accounted our selues in 69 degrees 40 minutes, and the Needle enclined, hauing a smooth Sea, neerest 84 degrees. All night we had wind and weather as afore.

The eight and twentieth, drie cold cleere weather; the wind betweene North North-west and North, we made our way good East North-east; wee saw the Sunne on the North Meridian aboue the Horizon 5 degrees 35 minutes. All this night we had much wind, as afore. The nine and twentieth, a hard gale at North North-west: by account we ranne from mid-night to noone 21 leagues, East North-east. Wee had the Sunne on the Meridian 5 degrees, the latitude 73 degrees 13 minutes, whereby wee found our ship to haue out-runne vs. At mid-night the wind came to South-east: we cast about, and stood East North-east. This day partly cleere weather with some snow. The thirtieth, cold cleere weather, the wind betweene North-east, and East and by North; we went East South-east, and obseruing, were in 73 degrees 50 minutes. The one and thirtieth, cold and cleere weather: from the last day till this day noone, we stood South-east and by South, in the latitude of 72 degrees 45 minutes.

The first of June, a hard gale at East North-east, with snow: we made our way good South Southeast. The second, a hard gale of wind at Northeast: towards night, calme with fogge, our course

was South-east all day. The third, in the morning we had a sight of the North Cape; and at a West and by North Sunne, the Cape bore off vs Southwest, halfe a point Southerly, being from vs 8 leagues and obseruing the variation, I found it to the Westward 11 degrees: and hauing a smooth Sea, the Needle enclined vnder the Horizon 84 degrees and a halfe, the neerest I could finde. We had the wind at South-west, and wee stood away North-east and by East. It was cleere weather, and we saw Norway Fisher-men at Sea.

The fourth, warme cleere sun-shine, we stood away North-east and by East. Now by Gods helpe our Carpenter recouered, and made a Mast for our ship-boat, and the companie made a Sayle, we had the Sunne in the sight on the North Meridian: his height was 5 degrees 40 minutes. Inclination 23 degrees 21 minutes: Poles height 72 degrees 21 minutes. The fift, in the morning calme weather: wee sounded, and had 140 fathoms, sand Oze: here wee saw a swelling Sea setting North-east and by East, and South-west and by West, with streameleches and we saw drift wood. After we had wind; and we sayled and made our way North North-east : towards night we sounded, and found ground at 150 fathoms, sand Oze. This day cleere weather, and not cold. The sixt, wee had cleere weather, the wind being at East North-East, from the last day till this day noone; we shaped our way on diuers courses North and by West, in the latitude of 73 degrees 24 minutes. We found that our ship had out-runne vs, sounding in 160 fathoms in the after-noone little wind.

The seuenth, in the morning the wind at South, after at South South-east from the last day till this day noone, wee accounted our way from diuers Courses North-east, 15 leagues. This day was close but cleere weather, and we had a good gale of wind at this time. And three dayes before this, our Cooke

and one more of our companie were very sicke. In the morning, we had ground at 150 fathoms, and at night we had no ground at 180 fathoms, which encreased hope. This night we had some snow, which continued foure houres: then the wind came at North-east and by East with storme; and with short sayle we stood North and by West: here the Needle enclined 86 degrees. I accounted that we were in 74 degrees and a halfe at neerest hand. This night we saw the Sunne on the North Meridian, his height was 7 degrees 40 minutes, which maketh the Poles height 74 degrees 23 minutes. The eight, from twelue a clocke last night till noone, we accounted our way on diuers courses, North and by East: then our latitude was 74 degrees 38 minutes, and we had no ground at 200 fathoms. In the after-noone the wind came at South South-east, and South-east and by East. This day and night wee had cleere weather, and we were here come into a blacke blue Sea.

The ninth, cleere weather, the wind came at Southeast and by East: from the last day till this day noone, wee had a good way North-east, in latitude of 75 degrees 29 minutes: then wee entered into Ice, being the first we saw in this Voyage: our hope was to goe through it, we stood into it, and held our course betweene North-east, and East Northeast, loosing for one, and bearing roome for another, till foure in the after-noone: at which time we were so farre in, and the Ice so thicke and firme a head, being in it foure or fiue leagues, that wee had endangered vs, somewhat too farre; wee returned as wee went in, and with a few rubbes of our ship against the Ice; by eight a clocke this Eeuening wee got free of it. Wee made our way till next day at noone, South-west and by South, 18 leagues: in the middest of this way wee had no ground at 180 fathoms. The tenth, in the morning hasey weather; but at noone it cleered vp, and then we cast about,
