The 11 of September in the morning, we sailed againe into the Tartarian Sea, [520] but we fell into great store of ice, so that wee sailed back againe to the Wey-gates, and anckored by the Crosse Point, and about mid-night we saw a Russian lodgie, [521] that sailed from the Beeltpoint [522] towardes the Samuters land. The 13 of September, the sunne being south [¾ p. 10 A.M.], there beganne a great storme to blow out of the south south-west, [523] the weather being mistie, melancholly, [524] and snowie, [525] and the storme increasing more and more, we draue through. [526] The 14 of September the weather beganne to bee somewhat clearer, the winde being north-west, and the storme blowing stiffe [527] out of the Tartarian Sea; but at euening it was [528] faire weather, and then the wind blewe north-east. The same day our men went on the other side of Wey-gates on the firme land, [529] to take the depth of the channel, and entered into the bough behinde the islands, [530] where there stood a little howse made of wood, and a great fall of water into the land. [531] The same morning we hoysed vp our anckor, [532] thinking once againe to try what we could doe to further our uoyage; but our admirall being of another minde, lay still till the fifteene of September. The same day in the morning the winde draue in from the east end of the Wey-gates, [533] whereby wee were forced presently to hoyse anchors, and the same day sailed out from the west ende of the Wey-gates, with all our fleete, and made home-wardes againe, and that day past by the islands called Matfloe and Delgoy, [534] and that night wee sayled twelue [48] miles, north-west and by west, till Saterday in the morning, and then the winde fell north-east, and it began to snow. The 16 of September, from morning to evening, wee sayled west north-west 18 [72] miles, at 42 fadome deepe; in the night it snowed, and there blew very much winde out of the north-east: the first quarter [535] wee had 40 fadome deepe, but in the morning we saw not any of our ships. After that wee sailed all the night againe till the 17 of September in the morning, with two schower sailes, [536] north-west and by west and west north-west 10 [40] miles; the same day in the second quarter we had 50 fadome deepe, and in the morning 38 fadome deepe, sandy ground with blacke shels. [537] Sunday in the morning wee had the winde north and north-west, with a great gale, and then the admirals pinnace kept vs company, and sailed by vs with one saile from morning to evening, south south-west and south-west and by south, for the space of 6 [24] miles. Then we saw the point of Candynaes [538] lying south-east from vs, and then wee had 27 fadome deepe, redde sand with blacke shels. Sunday at night wee put out our focke sayle, [539] and wound northward ouer, and sayled all that night till Munday in the morning, 7 [28] or 8 [32] miles north-east and north-east and by east.
