leaue the line, either northward or southward, then the degrees in longitude do lessen, so that the neerer that a man is to the north or south Pole, so much the degrees are lesse: so that vnder the 76 degrees northward, where wee wintered, the degrees are but 3 miles and ⅔ parts [14⅔ miles], [978] whereby it is to be marked [979] that we had but 60 degrees to saile to the said Cape de Tabin, which is 220 [880] miles, so [980] the said cape lieth in 172 degrees in longitude as it is thought: and being aboue it, [981] it seemeth that we should be in the straight of Anian, [982] where we may saile bouldlie into the south, as the land reacheth. Now what further instructions are to be had to know where we lost the sun [983] vnder ye said 76 degrees upon the fourth of Nouember, and saw it again vpon the 24 of January, I leaue that to be described [984] by such as make profession thereof: it suffiseth vs to haue shewed that it failed vs not to appeare at the ordinary time. [985] The 25 of January it was darke clowdy weather, the wind westerlie, so that the seeing of the sunne the day before was againe doubted of; and then many wagers were laid, and we still lookt out to see if the sunne appeared. The same day we sawe a beare (which as long as the sunne appeared not vnto vs we sawe not) comming out of the southwest towards our house; but when we shouted at her she came no neerer, but went away againe. The 26 of Janurie it was faire cleere weather, but in the horrison there hung a white or darke cloude, [986] whereby we could not see the sun; whereupon the rest of our companions thought that we had mistaken our selues upon the 24 day, and that the sunne appeared not vnto vs, and mocked vs; but we were resolute in our former affirmation that we had seene the sunne, but not in the full roundnesse. That euening the sicke man that was amongst vs was very weake, and felt himselfe to be extreame sick, for he had laine long time, [987] and we comforted him as well as we might, and gaue him the best admonition yt we could, [988] but he died not long after midnight.
