The east point of Lombsbay is a long narrow point, and by it there lyeth an island, and from that long point to seaward in, there is a great creeke. [271] This Lombsbay lyeth vnder 74 degrees and ⅓ part. From Lombsbay to the point of the Admirals Island, [272] they sailed 6 [24] or 7 [28] miles, north-east and by north. The Admirals Island is not very faire on [273] the east side, but a farre off very flat, so that you must shunne it long before you come at it; it is also very vneuen, for at one casting off the lead they had 10 fadome deepe, and presently at another casting of the lead they had but 6 fadome, and presently after that againe 10, 11, and 12 fadome, the streame running hard against the flats. From the east end of the Admirals Island, to Cape Negro, [274] that is the Black Pointe, they sailed about 5 [20] or 6 [24] miles, east north-east; and a mile [4 miles] without the Black Point it is 70 fadome deepe, the ground slimie, as vpon Pamphius: [275] right eastward of the Blacke Point, there are 2 sharpe pointed hills in the creeke, that are easie to be knowen. The 6 of July, the sunne being north [½ p. 10, P.M.], they came right before the Blacke Point with faire weather: this Blacke Point lyeth vnder 75 degrees and 20 minutes. From the Blacke Point to Williams Island, [276] they sailed 7 [28] or 8 [32] miles, east north-east, and between them both about halfe a mile [2 miles], there lay a small island. The 7 of July they sailed from Williams Island, and then William Barents tooke the height of the sunne with his cross-staffe, [277] and found it to be eleuated aboue the horizon [278] in the south-west and by south 53 degrees and 6 minutes, [279] his declination being 22 degrees and 49 minutes, which being added to 53 degrees and 6 minutes, make 75 degrees and 55 minutes. [280] This is the right height of the pole of the said island. In this island they found great store of driff-wood, and many sea-horses, being a kinde of fish [281] that keepeth in the sea, having very great teeth, which at this day are vsed insteed of iuorie or elephants teeth: there also is a good road for ships, at 12 and 13 fadome deep, against all winds, except it be west south-west and west windes; and there they found a piece of a Russian ship, [282] and that day they had the wind east north-east, mistie weather.
