The 28 of October wee had the wind north-east, and then our men went out to fetch wood; but there fell so stormy wether and so great a snow, that they were forced to come home againe. About euening the wether began to breake vp, [806] at which time three of our men went to the place where we had set the beare vpright and there stood frozen, thinking to pull out her teeth, but it was cleane couered ouer with snow. And while they were there it began to snow so fast againe [with rough weather], that they were glad to come home as fast as they could; but the snow beat so sore vpon them that they could hardly see their way [807] and had almost lost their right way, whereby they had like to haue laine all that night out of the house [in the cold]. The 29 of October the wind still blew north-east, and then we fetch’d segges [808] from the sea side and laid them vpon the saile that was spread vpon our house, that it might be so much the closer and warmer: for the deales were not driuen close together, and the foule wether would not permit vs to do it. The 30 of October the wind yet continued north-east, and the sunne was full aboue the earth a little aboue the horizon. [809] The 31 of October the wind still blew north-east wt great store of snow, whereby we durst not looke out of doores. [810] The first of Nouember the wind still continued north-east, and then we saw the moone rise in the east when it began to be darke, and the sunne was no higher aboue the horizon than wee could well see it, and yet that day we saw it not, because of the close [811] wether and the great snow that fell; and it was extreame cold, so that we could not go out of the house. The 2 of November [812] the wind blew west and somewhat south, but in the euening it blew north with calme wether; and that day we saw the sunne rise south south-east, and it went downe [about] south south-west, but it was not full aboue the earth, [813] but passed in the horizon along by the earth. And the same day one of our men killed a fox with a hatchet, which was flead, rosted, and eaten. Before the sunne began to decline wee saw no foxes, and then the beares vsed to go from vs. [814] The 3 of Nouember the wind blew north-west wt calme wether, and the sunne rose south and by east and somewhat more southerly, and went downe south and by west and somewhat more southerly; and then we could see nothing but the upper part [815] of the sun above the horizon, and yet the land where we were was as high as the mast [816] of our ship. [817] Then we tooke the height of the sunne, [818] it being in the eleuenth degree and 41 minutes of [819] Scorpio, [820] his declination being 15 degrees and 24 minutes on the south side of the equinoctiall line.
