entred into our voiage, the ship lying as fast as euer it did inclosed in the ice, notwithstanding that while we were making ready to be gon, we had great wind out of the west, north, and north-west, and yet find no alteration nor bettering in the weather, and therefore in the last extremity we left it. [1189] [Dated] vpon the 13 of June [and signed by] Jacob Hemskerke, Peter Peterson Vos, Mr. Hans Vos, [1190] Laurence Willinsō, Peter Cornelison, Iohn Remarson, William Barēts, Gerrat de Veer, Leonard Hendrickson, Iacob Ionson Scheadam, Iacob Ionsō Sterrenburg. [1191] The 14 of June in the morning, the sunne easterly [½ p. 4 A.M.], we [by God’s mercy] put of from the land of Noua Zembla and the fast ice therevnto adioyning, with our boate and our scute, [1192] hauing a west wind, and sailed east north-east all that day to the Ilands Point, [1193] which was fiue [20] miles; but our first beginning was not very good, for we entered fast into the ice againe, which there laie very hard and fast, which put vs into no smal feare and trouble; and being there, foure of us went on land, to know the scituation thereof, and there we tooke many [1194] birds, which we kild with stones vpon the cliftes. [1195] The 15 of June the ice began to goe away; then we put to saile againe with a south wind, and past along by the Head Point [1196] and the Flushingers Point, [1197] streaching most north-east, and after that north, to the Point of Desire, [1198] which is about 13 [52] miles, and there we laie till the 16 of June.
