Our course was Westnorthwest the seuenth and eight dayes:  and the ninth day in the morning we were on head of the Tarrose of Silley.  Thus coasting along the South part of Ireland the 11. day, we were on head of the Dorses:  and our coarse was Southsouthwest vntill sixe of the clocke the 12. day.  The 13. day our course was Northwest. [M.  Dauis in the latitude of 60. deg. diuideth his fleete into 2. parts.] We remained in the company of the Mermaid and the Mooneshine vntill we came to the latitude of 60. degrees:  and there it seemed best to our Generall M. Dauis to diuide his fleete, himself sayling to the Northwest, and to direct the Sunshine, wherein I was, and the pinnesse called the Northstarre, to seeke a passage Northward between Groenland and Island to the latitude of 80. degrees, if land did not let vs. [Sidenote:  The 7. of Iune.] So the Seuenth day of Iune wee departed from them:  and the ninth of the same we came to a firme land of yce, which we coasted along the ninth, the tenth, and the eleuenth dayes of Iune:  [Sidenote:  Island descryed.] and the eleuenth day at sixe of the clocke at night we saw land which was very high, which afterward we knew to be a Island:  and the twelft day we harboured there, and found many people:  [Sidenote:  66. degrees.] the land lyeth East and by North in 66. degrees.

[Sidenote:  Their commodities.] Their commodities were greene fish, and Island lings, and stockfish, and a fish which is called Scatefish:  of all which they had great store.  They had also kine, sheep and horses, and hay for their cattell, and for their horses.  Wee saw also their dogs. [Sidenote:  Their dwellings.] Their dwelling houses were made on both sides with stones, and wood layd crosse ouer them, which was couered ouer with turfes of earth, and they are flat on the tops, and many of these stood hard by the shore. [Sidenote:  Their boats.] Their boates were made with wood and yron all along the keele like our English boates:  and they had nayles for to naile them withall, and fish-hookes and other things for to catch fish as we haue here in England.  They had also brasen kettles, and girdles and purses made of leather, and knoppes on them of copper, and hatchets, and other small tooles as necessary as we haue.  They drie their fish in the Sun, and when they are dry, they packe them vp in the top of their houses.  If we would goe thither to fishing more then we doe, we should make it a very good voyage:  for wee got an hundreth greene fish in one morning.  Wee found heere two English men with a shippe, which came out of England about Easter day of this present yeere 1586, and one of them came aboord of vs, and brought vs two lambs. [Sidenote:  M. Iohn Roydon of Ipswich.] The English mans name was M. Iohn Roydon of Ipswich marchant:  hee was bound for London with his ship.  And this is the summe of that which I obserued in Island. [Sidenote:  They departed from Island Northwest.] We departed from Island the sixteenth day of Iune in the morning, and our course was Northwest, and we saw on the coast two small barkes going to an harborough:  we went not to them, but saw them a farre off.  Thus we continued our course vnto the end of this moneth.
