The 12. we coasted againe the yce, hauing the wind at Northnorthwest. [Sidenote:  Extreme heate of the Sunne.] The 13, bearing off from the yce, we determined to goe with the shoare and come to an anker, and to stay 5. or 6. dayes for the dissoluing of the yce, hoping that the Sea continually beating it, and the Sunne with the extreme force of heat which it had alwayes shining vpon it, would make a quicke dispatch, that we might haue a further search vpon the Westerne shore.  Now when we were come to the Easterne coast, the water something deepe, and some of our companie fearefull withall, we durst not come to an anker, but bare off into the Sea againe.  The poore people seeing vs goe away againe, came rowing after vs into the Sea, the waues being somewhat loftie.  We truckt with them for a few skinnes and dartes, and gaue them beads, nailes, pinnes, needles and cardes, they poynting to the shore, as though they would shew vs some great friendship:  but we little regarding their curtesie, gaue them the gentle farewell, and so departed.

[Sidenote:  They were driuen West sixe points out of their course in 67. degrees, 45. minutes.] The 14. wee had the wind at South.  The 15. there was some fault either in the barke, or the set of some current, for wee were driuen sixe points beyond our course West.  The 16. wee fell with the banke of yce West from vs.  The 17. and 18. were foggie. [Sidenote:  Mount Raleigh.] The 19.at one a clocke after noone, wee had sight of the land which we called Mount Raleigh, and at 12. of the clocke at night, we were thwart the streights which we discouered the first yeere.  The 20. wee trauersed in the mouth of the streight, the wind being at West, with faire and cleare weather.  The 21. and 22. wee coasted the Northerne coast of the streights. [Sidenote:  The Earle of Cumberlands Isles.] The 23. hauing sayled threescore leagues Northwest into the streights, at two a clocke after noone wee ankered among many Isles in the bottome of the gulfe, naming the same The Earle of Cumberlands Isles, where riding at anker, a Whale passed by our ship and went West among the Isles. [Sidenote:  The variation of the compasse 30. deg.  Westward.] Heere the compasse set at thirtie degrees Westward variation.  The 23. wee departed, shaping our course Southeast to recouer the Sea.  The 25. wee were becalmed in the bottome of the gulfe, the ayre being extreme hot.  Master Bruton and some of the Mariners went on shoare to course dogs, where they found many Graues and Trane split on the ground, the dogs being so fat that they were scant able to run.

The 26. wee had a prety storme, the winde being at Southeast.  The 27. and 28. were faire.  The 29. we were cleare out of the streights, hauing coasted the South shore, and this day at noone we were in 62. degrees of latitude. [Sidenote:  The land trendeth from this place Southwest and by South.  My Lord Lumleys Inlet.] The 30. in the afternoone wee coasted a banke of yce, which lay on the shore, and passed by a great banke or Inlet, which lay between 63. and 62. degrees of latitude, which we called Lumlies Inlet.  We had oftentimes, as we sailed alongst the coast, great ruttes, the water as it were whirling and ouerfalling, as if it were the fall of some great water through a bridge.
