Then we sailed vnder 70 degrees, [440] vntill we came to the Wey-gates, most part through broken ice; and when we got to Wey-gates, we cast out our lead, and for a long time found 13 and 14 fadome, soft [441] ground mixed with blacke shels; [442] not long after that wee cast out the lead and found 10 fadome deepe, the wind being north, and we forced to hold stifly aloofe, [443] in regard of the great quantity of ice, till about midnight; then we were forced to wind north-ward, because of certaine rocks that lay on the south side of Wey-gates, right before vs about a mile and a halfe [6 miles], hauing ten fadome deepe: then wee changed our course, and sailed west north-west for the space of 4 glasses, [444] after that we wound about againe east and east and by south, and so entred into Wey-gates, and as wee went in, we cast out the lead, and found 7 fadome deepe, little more or lesse, till the 19 of August; and then the sunne being south-east [½ p. 7 A.M.] we entered into the Wey-gates, in the road, the wind being north. The right chanell betweene the Image Point [445] and the Samuters land [446] was full of ice, so that it was not well [447] to be past through, and so we went into the road, which we called the Trayen Bay, [448] because we found store of trayen-oyle there: this is a good bay for the course of the ice, [449] and good almost for all windes, and we may saile so farre into it as we will at 4, 5, and 3 fadome, good anchor-ground: on the east side it is deepe [450] water. The 20 of August, the height of the sunne being taken with the crosse-staffe, [451] wee found that it was eleuated aboue the horizon 69 degrees 21 minuts, [452] when it was south-west and by south, being at the highest, or before it began to descend. The 21 of August we went on land within the Wey-gates [453] with foure and fiftie men, to see the scituation of the countrey, and being 2 [8] miles within the land, we found many vel-werck trayen, and such like wares, [454] and diuers footsteps of men and deere; whereby wee perceived that some men dwelt thereabouts, or else vsed to come thither. And to assure vs the more thereof, wee might perceiue it by the great number of images, which we found there upon the Image or Beelthooke [455] (so called by us) in great aboundance, whereof ten dayes after we were better informed by the Samuters [456] and the Russians, when we spake with them.
