A report of Master Iohn Dauis of his three Voyages made for the discouerie
of the Northwest passage, taken out of a Treatise of his. Intituled the
worlds Hydrographicall description.
Now there onely resteth the North parts of America, vpon which coast my
selfe haue had most experience of any in our age: for thrise I was that way
imployed for the discouery of this notable passage, by the honourable care
and some charge of Syr Francis Walsingham knight, principall secretary to
her Maiestie, with whom diuer noble men and worshipfull marchants of London
ioyned in purse and willingnesse for the furtherance of that attempt, but
when his honour dyed the voyage was friendlesse, and mens mindes alienated
from aduenturing therein.
