The  24  of  June  we  had  a  south-west  winde,  and  could  not
get  aboue  the  island,1  and  therefore  wee  sayled  backe  againe,
and  found  a  hauen  that  lay  foure  [16]  miles  from  the  other
hauen,  on  the  west  side  of  the  great  hauen,  and  there  cast
anchor  at  twelue  fadome  deepe.  There  wee  rowed  a  great
way  in,  and  went  on  land ;  and  there  wee  founde  two  sea-
horses teeth  that  waighed  sixe  pound  :  wee  also  found  many
small  teeth,  and  so  rowed  on  board  againe.
The  25  of  June  we  hoysted  anchor  againe,  and  sayled
along  by  the  land,  and  went  south  and  south  south-west,
with  a  north  north-east  winde,  vnder  79  degrees.  There  we
found  a  great  creeke  or  riuer,2  whereinto  we  sailed  ten  [40]
miles  at  the  least,  holding  our  course  south-ward ;  but  we
perceiued  that  there  wee  could  not  get  through :  there  wee  cast
out  our  leade,  and  for  the  most  part  found  ten  fadome  deepe,
but  wee  were  constrained  to  lauere3  out  againe,  for  the  winde
was  northerly,  and  almost  full  north  ;4  and  wee  perceaued
that  it  reached  to  the  firm  land,  which  we  supposed  to  be
low-land,  for  that  wee  could  not  see  it  any  thing  farre,  and
therefore  wee  sailed  so  neere  vnto  it  till  that  wee  might  see

it,  and  then  we  were  forced  to  lauere  [bacVj,  and  vpon  the
27  of  June  we  got  out  againe.
