The 19 of August it was indifferent good weather, the winde blowing south-west, the ice still driuing, and we set saile with an indifferent gale of wind, [685] and past by ye Point of Desire, [686] whereby we were once againe in good hope. And when we had gotten aboue the point, [687] we sailed south-east into the sea-ward 4 [16] miles, but then againe we entred into more ice, whereby we were constrained to turn back againe, and sailed north-west vntil we came to ye land againe, which reacheth frō the Point of Desire to the Head Point, [688] south and by west, 6 [24] miles: from the Head Point to Flushingers Head, [689] it reacheth south-west, which are 3 [12] miles one from the other; from the Flushingers Head, it reacheth into the sea east south-east, and from Flushingers Head to the Point of the Island [690] it reacheth south-west and by south and south-west 3 [12] miles; and from the Island Point to the Point of the Ice Hauen, [691] the land reacheth west south-west 4 [16] miles: from the Ice Hauens Point to the fall of water or the Streame Bay [692] and the low land, it reacheth west and by south and east and by north, 7 [28] miles: from thence the land reacheth east and west. The 21 of August we sailed a great way into the Ice Hauen, and that night ankored therein: next day, the streame [693] going extreame hard eastward, we haled out againe from thence, and sailed againe to the Island Point; but for that it was misty weather, comming to a peece of ice, we made the ship fast thereunto, because the winde began to blow hard south-west and south south-west. There we went [694] vp vpon the ice, and wondred much thereat, it was such manner of ice: for on the top it was ful of earth, and there we found aboue 40 egges, and it was not like other ice, for it was of a perfect azure coloure, like to the skies, whereby there grew great contentiō in words amongst our men, some saying that it was ice, others that it was frozen land; for it lay vnreasonable high aboue the water, it was at least 18 fadome vnder the water close to the ground, and 10 fadome aboue the water: there we stayed all that storme, the winde being south-west and by west. The 23 of August we sailed againe from the ice south-eastward into the sea, but entred presently into it againe, and wound about [695] to the Ice Hauen. The next day it blew hard north north-west, and the ice came mightily driuing in, whereby we were in a manner compassed about therewith, and withall the winde began more and more to rise, and the ice still draue harder and harder, so that the pin of the rother [696] and the rother were shorne in peeces, [697] and our boate was shorne in peeces [698] betweene the ship and the ice, we expecting nothing else but that the ship also would be prest and crusht in peeces with the ice.
