The fifth of July wee sailed north north-east till the sunne was south [11 A.M.]: then wee wound about, and went east south-east with a north-east winde. Then wee tooke the height of the sunne, and found it to bee eleuated aboue the horizon 39 degrees and 27 minutes, his declination being 22 degrees and 53 minutes, which taken from the high aforesaid, we found that wee were under the height of the Poole seuentie three degrees and 20 minutes. [632] The seuenth of July wee cast out our whole lead-lyne, but found no ground, and sailed east and by south, the wind being north-east and by east, and were vnder 72 degrees and 12 minutes. The eight of July we had a good north [by] west wind, and sailed east and by north, with an indifferent cold gale of wind, [633] and got vnder 72 degrees and 15 minutes. The ninth of July we went east and by north, the wind being west. The tenth of July, the sunne being south south-west [9 A.M.], we cast out our lead and had ground at 160 fadome, the winde being north-east and by north, and we sailed east and by south vnder 72 degrees. The 11 of July we found 70 fadome deepe, and saw no ice; then we gest that we were right south and north from Dandinaes, [634] that is the east point of the White-Sea, that lay southward from vs, and had sandy ground, and the bancke stretched north-ward into the sea, so that wee were out of doubt that we were vpon the bancke of the White Sea, for wee had found no sandy ground all the coast along, but onely that bancke. Then the winde being east and by south, we sayled south and south and by east, vnder 72 degrees, and after that we had a south south-east winde, and sayled north-east to get ouer the bancke. In the morning wee draue forward with a calme, [635] and found that we were vnder 72 degrees, and then againe wee had an east south-east winde, the sunne being about south-west [2 P.M.], and sayled north-east; and casting out our lead found 150 fadome deepe, clay ground, and then we were ouer the bancke, which was very narrow, for wee sailed but 14 glasses, [636] and gate ouer it when the sunne was about north north-east [¼ p. 12 A.M.]. The twelfth of July wee sayled north and by east, the winde being east; and at euening, [637] the sunne being north north-east, we wound about againe, hauing the winde north north-east, and sayled east and by south till our first quarter [638] was out. The thirteenth of July wee sayled east, with a north north-east wind: then we tooke the height of the sunne and found it to bee eleuated aboue the horizon 54 degrees and 38 minutes, [639] his declination was 21 degrees and 54 minutes, which taken from the height aforesaid, the height of the Pole was found to be 73 degrees; and then againe wee found ice, but not very much, and wee were of opinion that wee were by Willoughbies-land.
