THE    FIRST    EDITION. XCU1

Whereupon,  about  the  ende  of  ^lay,  hee  is  determined  to
saile  from  the  Baie  of  S. Nicholas  eastward,  by  the  maine  of
Ioughoria,  and  so  to  the  easterly  parts  of  Pechora,  to  the
island  which  is  called  Dolgoia. And  here  also  hee  is  purposed
to  obserue  the  latitudes,  to  suruey  and  describe  the  countrey,
to  sound  the  depth  of  the  sea,  and  to  note  the  distances  of
places,  where  and  so  oft  as  occasion  shall  be  offered. And
forasmuch  as  the  Baie  of  Pechora  is  a  most  conuenient  place
both  for  harbour  and  victuall,  as  well  in  their  going  foorth
as  in  their  returne  home,  in  regard  of  ice  and  tempest,  he  is
determined  to  bestow  a  day  in  sounding  the  flats,  and  in
searching  out  the  best  enterance  for  ships':  in  which  place,
heretofore,  he  found  the  water  to  be  but  hue  foote  deepe,
howbeit  he  doubteth  not  but  that  there  are  deeper  chanels  :
and  then  he  intendeth  to  proceed  on  along  those  coasts  for  the
space  of  three  or  foure  leagues,  leauing  the  island  called
Vaigats  almost  in  the  middle  way  betweene  Vgoria  and  Xoua
Zembla:  then  also  to  passe  by  a  certaine  baie  betweene  Vai-
gats and  Ob,  trending-  southerly  into  the  land  of  Vgoria,
whereinto  fall  two  small  riuers,  called  Marmesia  and  Carah,1
vpon  the  which  riuers  doe  inhabite  an  other  barbarous  and
sauage  nation  of  the  Samoeds. He  found  many  flats  in  that
tract  of  land,  and  many  cataracts  or  ouerfals  of  water,  yet  such
as  hee  was  able  to  saile  by.
