A
true
report
of
Capteine
Frobisher

last
voyage
into
the
West
and
Northwest
regions
,
this
present
yere
1577.
With
a
description
of
the
people
there
inhabiting
.
ON
Whitsunday
last
past
,
being
the
26.
of
May
,
in
this
present
yeare
of
our
Lorde
God
1577.
Capteine
Frobisher
departed
from
Blacke
Wall
,
with
one
of
the
Quéenes
Maiesties
shippes
,
called
The
Aide
,
of
nine
score
tunne
,
or
there
aboutes
:
and
two
other
little
Barkes
likewise
,
the
one
called
The
Gabriel
,
whereof
Maister
Fenton
a
Gentleman
of
my
Lord
of
Warwicks
was
Capteine
:
and
the
other
,
The
Michael
,
whereof
Maister
Yorke
a
Gentleman
of
my
Lorde
Admerals
was
Captein
,
accompanied
with
seuen
score
gentlemen
,
souldiers
and
saylers
,
well
furnished
with
victuals
,
and
other
prouision
necessarie
for
one
halfe
yere
,
on
this
his
seconde
voyage
,
for
the
further
discouering
of
the
passage
to
Cataia
,
and
other
countries
therevnto
adiacent
,
by
West
and
Northwest
Nauigations
:
whiche
passage
,
or
way
,
is
supposed
to
be
on
the
North
and
Northwest
partes
of
America
:
and
the
sayd
America
to
be
an
Islande
inuironed
with
the
sea
,
wherethrough
our
Merchaunts
might
haue
course
and
recourse
with
their
merchandize
,
from
these
our
Northernmost
parts
of
Europe
,
to
those
oriental
coasts
of
Asia
,
in
much
shorter
time
,
and
with
greater
benefit
then
any
others
,
to
their
no
little
commoditie
and
profite
that
doe
traffique
the
same
.
Oure
sayde
Capteine
and
Generall
of
this
present
voyage
and
companie
,
hauing
the
yere
before
,
with
two
little
Pinnisies
,
to
his
great
daunger
and
no
small
commendations
,
giuen
a
worthy
attempt
towardes
the
performaunce
thereof
,
is
also
prest
(
when
occasion
shall
be
ministred
,
to
the
benefite
of
his
Prince
and
natiue
countrie
)
to
aduenture
him selfe
further
therein
.
As
for
this
second
voyage
,
it
séemeth
sufficient
,
that
he
hath
better
explored
and
searched
the
commodities
of
those
people
and
countries
,
with
sufficient
commoditie
vnto
the
aduenturers
,
which
in
his
first
voyage
the
yeare
before
he
had
found
out
.
Upon
which
considerations
,
the
day
and
yeare
before
expressed
,
we
departed
from
Blacke
Wall
to
Harwiche
,
where
making
an
accomplishment
of
thinges
necessarie
,
the
last
of
Maye
we
hoysed
vp
sailes
,
and
with
a
mery
winde
the
7.
therof
we
arriued
at
the
Islands
called
Orchades
,
or
vulgarly
Orkney
,
The
Islandes
Orchades
,
or
Orkney
.
being
in
number
30.
subiect
and
adiacent
to
Scotland
,
where
we
made
prouision
of
freshe
water
:
in
the
doing
whereof
,
our
Generall
licenced
the
Gentlemen
and
Souldiers
,
for
their
recreation
,
to
go
on
shoare
.
At
our
landing
,
The
Orchadians
vpon
smal
occasion
flee
their
home
.
the
people
fled
from
their
poore
cotages
,
with
shrikes
and
alarums
,
to
warne
their
neighbors
of
enimies
:
but
by
gentle
persuasions
we
reclaimed
them
to
their
houses
.
It
séemeth
they
are
often
frighted
with
Pirates
,
or
some
other
enimies
,
that
moueth
them
to
such
souden
feare
.
Their
houses
are
very
simplie
builded
with
pibble
stone
,

sléepe
on
the

side
of
the

,
and
their
cattell
on
the

,
very
beastly
and
rudely
,
in
respect
of
ciuilitie
.
They
are
destitute
of

their

They
haue

oates
,
with
whiche
they
paye
their

,
to
the
maintenance
of
his
house
.
They
take
great
quantitie
of
fishe
,
which
they
drie
in
the
winde
and
Sunne
.
They
dresse
their
meate
very
filthily
,
and
eate
it
without
salt
.
Their
apparell
is
after
the
rudest
sort
of
Scotland
.
Their
money
is
all
base

Their
churche
and
religion
is

can
better
declare
the
dispositions
of
those
people
than
I
:
wherfore
,
I
remit
other
their
vsages
to
their
reportes
,
as

repairers
thither
,
in

and

Wée
departed
herehence
,
the
8.
of
Iune
,
In
Iune
and
Iulie
,
no
night
in
those
West
and
Northwest
regions
.
and
followed
our
course
betwéene
West
and
Northwest
,
vntill
the
4.
of
Iulie
:
all
which
time
,
we
had
no
night
,
but
that
easily
,
and
without
any
impediment
,
we
had
when
we
were
so
disposed
,
the
fruition
of
our
bookes
,
and
other
pleasures
to
passe
awaye
the
time
:
a
thinge
of
no
small
moment
,
to
such
as
wander
in
vnknowen
seas
and
longe
Nauigations
,
especially
,
when
both
the
winds
,
and
raging
surges
,
do
passe
their
common
and
wonted
course
.
This
benefite
endureth
in
those
partes
not
sixe
wéekes
,
whilest
the
Sunne
is
néere
the
Tropike
of
Cancer
:
but
where
the
Pole
is
raised
to
70.
or
80.
degrées
,
it
continueth
the
longer
.
All
along
these
seas
,
after
we
were
6.
dayes
sayling
from
Orkney
,
we
met
floting
in
the
sea
,
great
Firre
trées
,
which
as
wee
iudged
,
were
with
the
furie
of
great
floudes
rooted
vp
,
and
so
driuen
into
the
sea
.
Island
hath
almost
no
other
wood
nor
fewel
,
but
such
as
they
take
vp
vpon
their
coastes
.
It
séemeth
,
that
these
trées
are
driuen
from
some
parte
of
the
New
found
land
,
with
the
Current
that
setteth
from
the
West
to
the
East
.
The
4.
of
Iulie
,
we
came
within
the
making
of
Freeseland
.

From
this
shoare

or

,
we
met

as
we
supposed
,
fast

,
with

wée
could
scarse
sound

Here
,
in

of
odoriferous
and
fragrant
smelles
of
swéete
gummes
,
and
pleasant
notes
of
musicall
birdes
,
which
other
Countries
in
more
temperate
Zone
do
yéeld
,
we
tasted
the
most
boisterous
Boreall
blasts
,
mixt
with
snow
and
haile
,
Yce

snowe
,
and

in
Iune
and
Iulie
.
in
the
moneth
of
Iune
and
Iulie
,
nothing
inferiour
to
oure
vntemperate
Winter
:
a
soudeine
alteration
,
and
especially
in
a
place
or
Paralele
,
where
the
Pole
is
not
eleuate
aboue
61.
degrées
:
at
which
height
other
countries
more
to
the
North
,
yea
,
vnto
70.
degrées
,
shewe
themselues
more
temperat
than
this
doth
.
All
along
this
coast
yce
lyeth
,
Yce
defendeth
Freesland
.
as
a
continuall
bullworke
,
and
so
defendeth
the
countrie
,
that
those
whiche
would
land
there
incurre
great
daunger
.
Our
Generall
thrée
dayes
together
,
attempted
with
the
shippboate
to
haue
gone
on
shoare
,
whiche
,
for
that
without
great
daunger
he
could
not
accomplishe
,
he
deferred
it
vntil
a
more
conuenient
time
.
All
along
the
coast
lye
very
highe
mounteines
couered
with
snowe
,
The
shoare
of
Freesland
highe
mounteines
.
excepte
in
such
places
,
where
,
through
the
stéepenesse
of
the
mounteines
,
of
force
it
must
néedes
fall
.
Foure
dayes
coastinge
along
this
Land
,
we
found
no
signe
of
habitation
.
Little
birdes
,
Freesland
subiect
to
foggs
.
whiche
we
iudged
to
haue
lost
the
shoare
,
by
reason
of
thicke
fogges
,
which
that
countrie
is
much
subiect
vnto
,
came
fléeing
to
oure
shippes
,
Little
birdes
a
signe
and
token
of
habitation
.
whiche
causeth
vs
to
suppose
,
that
the
countrie
is
both
more
tollerable
,
and
also
habitable
within
,
then
the
outward
shoare
maketh
shewe
or
signification
.
From
hence
we
departed
the
eight
of
Iulie
:
and
the
16.
of
the
same
,
we
came
within
the
making
of
land
,
whiche
land
our
Generall
,
the
yeare
before
,
had
named
The
Queenes
foreland
,
The
Queenes
Foreland
.
béeing
an
Island
,
as
we
iudge
,
lying
néere
the
supposed
continent
with
America
:
&
on
the
other
side
,
opposite
to
the
same
,
one
other
Island
called
Halles
Isle
,
after
the
name
of
the
Maister
of
our
shippe
,
Halles
Isle
.
néere
adiacent
to
the
firme
land
,
supposed
continent
with
Asia
.
Betwéene
the
which
two
Islandes
,
there
is
a
large
entrance
or
streight
,
Frobishers
streight
.
called
Frobishers
streight
,
after
the
name
of
oure
Generall
,
the
first
finder
thereof
.
This
said
streight
,
is
supposed
to
haue
passage
into
the
Sea
of
Sur
,
which
I
leaue
vnknowne
as
yet
.
It
séemeth
,
that
either
here
,
or
not
farre
hence
,
the
Sea
should
haue
more
large
entraunce
,
than
in
other
partes
,
within
the
frosen
or
vntemperate
Zone
:
and
that
some
contrarie
tide
,
either
from
the
East
or
West
,
with
maine
force
casteth
out
that
great
quantitie
of
yce
,
which
commeth
floating
from
this
coast
,
euen
vnto
Freesland
,
causing
that
countrie
to
séeme
more
vntemperate
than
others
,
muche
more
Northerly
than
they
are
.
I
cannot
iudge
,
that
any
temperature
vnder
the
Pole
,
béeing
the
time
of
the
Sunnes
Northerne
declination
,
halfe
a
yeare
together
and
one
whole
day
,
(
considering
,
that
the
Sunnes
eleuation
surmounteth
not
23.
degrées
and
30.
minutes
,
)
can
haue
power
to
dissolue
such
monstruous
and
huge
yce
,
Islands
of
yce
comparable
to
mounteines
.
comparable
to
great
mounteines
,
excepte
by
some
other
force
,
as
by
swift
Currents
and
tydes
,
with
the
helpe
of
the
said
day
of
halfe
a
yeare
.
Before
we
came
within
the
making
of
these
Landes
,
we
tasted
cold
stormes
,
insomuch
that
it
séemed
,
we
had
chaunged
Summer
with
winter
,
if
the
length
of
the
dayes
had
not
remoued
vs
from
that
opinion
.
At
our
first
comming
,
the
streightes
séemed
to
be
shutt
vp
with
a
long
mure
of
yce
,
whiche
gaue
no
little
cause
of
discomfort
vnto
vs
all
:
but
our
Generall
,
(
to
whose
diligence
,
imminent
daungers
,
Capteine
Frobisher
his
speciall
care
and
and
difficult
attemptes
séemed
nothing
,
in
respect
of
his
willing
mind
,
for
the
commoditie
of
his
Prince
and
countrie
,
)
with
two
little
Pinnises
prepared
of
purpose
,
passed
twise
thoroughe
them
to
the
East
shoare
,
and
the
Islands
therevnto
adiacent
:
and
the
shippe
,
with
the
two
barks
,
lay
off
and
on
something
further
into
the
sea
,
from
the
daunger
of
the
yce
.
Whilest
he
was
searching
the
countrie
néere
the
shoare
,
The
order
of
the
people
appearing
on
shoare
.
some
of
the
people
of
the
countrie
shewed
themselues
,
leaping
and
dauncing
,
with
straunge
shrikes
and
cryes
,
whiche
gaue
no
little
admiration
to
our
men
.
Our
Generall
desirous
to
allure
them
vnto
him
by
faire
meanes
,
caused
kniues
,
&
other
thinges
,
to
be
proferred
vnto
them
,
whiche
they
would
not
take
at
our
handes
:
but
béeing
layd
on
the
ground
,
&
the
partie
going
away
,
they
came
and
tooke
vp
,
leauing
something
of
theirs
to
counteruaile
the
same
.
At
the
length
,
two
of
them
leauing
their
weapons
,
came
downe
to
our
Generall
and
Maister
,
who
did
the
like
to
them
,
commaunding
the
companie
to
stay
,
and
went
vnto
them
:
who
,
after
certeine
dumbe
signes
and
mute
congratulations
,
began
to
lay
handes
vpon
them
,
but
they
deliuerly
escaped
,
and
ranne
to
their
bowes
and
arrowes
,
Fierce
and
bould
people
.
and
came
fiercely
vppon
them
,
(
not
respecting
the
rest
of
our
companie
,
which
were
readie
for
their
defence
)
but
with
their
arrowes
hurt
diuerse
of
them
:
we
tooke
the
one
,
and
the
other
escaped
.
One
taken
.
Whilest
our
Generall
was
busied
in
searching
the
countrie
and
those
Islands
adiacent
on
the
East
shoare
,
the
ship
and
barckes
hauing
great
care
,
not
to
put
farre
into
the
sea
from
him
,
for
that
he
had
small
store
of
victuals
,
were
forced
to
abide
in
a
cruell
tempest
,
chancing
in
the
night
,
amongst
and
in
the
thickest
of
the
yce
,
which
was
so
monstruous
,
that
euen
the
least
of
a
thousand
had
béene
of
force
sufficient
,
to
haue
shiuered
oure
shippe
and
barkes
into
small
portions
,
if
God
(
who
in
all
necessities
,
hath
care
vpon
the
infirmitie
of
man
)
had
not
prouided
for
this
our
extremitie
a
sufficient
remedie
,
through
the
light
of
the
night
,
whereby
we
might
well
discerne
to
flée
from
such
imminent
daungers
,
whiche
wée
auoyded
with
14.
Bourdes
in
one
watch
the
space
of
4.
houres
.
If
we
had
not
incurred
this
danger
amongst
these
monstrous
Islandes
of
yce
,
wée
should
haue
lost
our
Generall
and
Maister
,
and
the
most
of
our
best
sailers
,
which
were
on
the
shoare
destitute
of
victualls
:
but
by
the
valure
of
our
Maister
Gunner
,
Richard
Coxe
Maister
Gunner
.
being
expert
both
in
Nauigation
and
other
good
qualities
,
we
were
all
content
to
incurre
the
dangers
afore
rehearsed
,
before
we
would
,
with
oure
owne
safetie
,
runne
into
the
Seas
,
to
the
destruction
of
oure
said
Generall
and
his
companie
.
The
day
following
,
being
the
19.
of
Iulie
,
oure
Capteine
returned
to
the
shippe
,
with
good
newes
of
great
riches
,
which
shewed
it selfe
in
the
bowelles
of
those
barren
mounteines
,
wherewith
we
were
all
satisfied
.
A
souden
mutation
.
The
one
parte
of
vs
being
almost
swallowed
vp
the
night
before
,
with
cruell
Neptunes
force
,
and
the
rest
on
shoare
,
taking
thought
for
their
gréedie
paunches
,
how
to
find
the
way
to
New
found
land
:
New
found
land
.
at
one
moment
we
were
all
rapt
with
ioye
,
forgetting
,
both
where
we
were
,
and
what
we
had
suffred
.
Behold
the
glorie
of
man
,
to

looking

than

and
to

howe
to
satisfie
his

appetite
with
Golde

Within
foure
days
after
we
had
ben
at
the
entraunce
of
the
Streightes
,
the
Northwest
and
West
windes
dispersed
the
yce
into
the
Sea
,
and
made
vs
a
large
entrance
into
the
Streights
,
that
without
any
impediment
,
on
the
19.
of
Iulie
,
we
entred
them
,
and
the
20.
therof
oure
Generall
and
Maister
,
with
great
diligence
,
sought
out
and
sounded
the
West
shoare
,
and
found
out
a
fayre
Harborough
for
the
ship
and
barkes
to
ride
in
,
and
named
it
after
our
Maisters
mate
,
Iackmans
sound
,
Iackmans
sound
.
and
brought
the
ship
,
barkes
,
and
all
their
companie
to
safe
anchor
,
except
one
man
,
whiche
dyed
by
Gods
visitation
.
Who
so
maketh
Nauigations
to
these
contries
,
hath
not
only
extreme
winds
,
and
furious
Seas
,
Yce
needefull
to
be
regarded
of
seafaring
men
.
to
encounter
withall
,
but
also
many
monstrous
and
great
Islandes
of
yce
:
a
thing
both
rare
,
wonderfull
,
and
greatly
to
be
regarded
.
We
were
forced
,
sundrie
times
,
while
the
ship
did
ride
here
at
anchor
,
to
haue
continuall
watch
,
Great
watche
with
men
and
boates
for
yce
indaungering
the
ship
at
anchor
.
with
boates
and
men
readie
with
Halsers
,
to
knit
fast
vnto
such
yce
,
which
with
the
ebbe
and
floud
were
tossed
to
and
fro
in
the
Harboroughe
,
and
with
force
of
oares
to
hale
them
away
,
for
indaungering
the
ship
.
Our
Generall
,
certeine
dayes
searched
this
supposed
continent
with
America
,
and
not
finding
the
commoditie
to
aunswere
his
expectation
,
after
he
had
made
tryall
thereof
,
he
departed
thence
with
two
little
barkes
,
and
men
sufficient
,
to
the
East
shoare
,
being
the
supposed
continent
of
Asia
,
&
left
the
ship
with
most
of
the
Gentlemen
,
Souldiers
,
and
Saylers
,
vntill
such
time
as
he
,
eyther
thought
good
to
send
,
or
come
for
them
.
The
stones
of
this
supposed
continent
with
America
,
Stones
glister
with
sparckles
like
Golde
.
be
altogether
sparkled
,
and
glister
in
the
Sunne
like
Gold
:
so
likewise
doth
the
sande
in
the
bright
water
,
A
common
Prouerbe
.
yet
they
verifie
the
olde
Prouerbe
:
All
is
not
golde
that
glistereth
.
On
this
West
shoare
we
found
a
dead
fishe
floating
,
whiche
had
in
his
nose
a
horne
streight
&
torquet
,
of
lengthe
two
yardes
lacking
two
ynches
,
being
broken
in
the
top
,
where
we
might
perceiue
it
hollowe
,
into
which
some
of
our
Saylers
putting
Spiders
,
they
presently
dyed
.
I
sawe
not
the
tryall
hereof
,
but
it
was
reported
vnto
me
of
a
trueth
:
by
the
vertue
whereof
,
The
Sea
Vnicorne
.
we
supposed
it
to
be
the
sea
Unicorne
.
After
our
Generall
had
founde
out
good
harborough
for
the
Ship
and
Barkes
to
anchor
in
:
and
also
suche
store
of
Golde
oare
as
he
thought
him selfe
satisfied
withall
,
he
sent
backe
oure
Maister
with
one
of
the
Barkes
,
to
conducte
the
great
Ship
vnto
him
,
who
coasting
along
the
West
shoare
,
perceiued
a
faire
harborough
,
and
willing
to
sound
the
same
,
at
the
enterance
thereof
they
espyed
two
tentes
of
Seale
skinnes
.
At
the
sight
of
oure
men
,
the
people
fled
into
the
mounteines
:
neuerthelesse
,
our
sayde
Maister
went
to
their
tents
,
and
left
some
of
our
trifles
,
as
Kniues
,
Bels
,
and
Glasses
,
and
departed
,
not
taking
any
thing
of
theirs
,
excepte
one
Dogge
to
our
Shippe
.
On
the
same
day
,
after
consultation
had
,
we
determined
to
sée
,
if
by
fayre
meanes
we
could
eyther
allure
them
to
familiaritie
,
or
otherwise
take
some
of
them
,
and
so
atteine
to
some
knowlege
of
those
men
,
whome
our
Generall
lost
the
yeare
before
.
At
our
comming
backe
againe
,
to
the
place
where
their
tentes
were
before
,
A
craftie
people
.
they
had
remoued
their
tentes
further
into
the
said
Bay
or
Sound
,
where
they
might
,
if
they
were
driuen
from
the
land
,
flee
with
their
boates
into
the
sea
.
Wee
parting
our selues
into
two
companies
,
and
compassing
a
mounteine
,
came
soudeinly
vppon
them
by
land
,
who
espying
vs
,
without
any
tarying
fled
to
their
boates
,
leauing
the
most
part
of
their
oares
behind
them
for
hast
,
and
rowed
downe
the
Bay
,
where
our
two
Pinisses
met
them
,
&
droue
them
to
shoare
:
but
,
if
they
had
had
all
their
oares
,
so
swift
are
they
in
rowing
,
it
had
bene
lost
time
to
haue
chased
them
.
When
they
were
landed
,
A
fierce
assault
of
a
few
.
they
fiercely
assaulted
oure
men
with
their
bowes
and
arrowes
,
who
wounded
three
of
them
with
our
arrowes
:
and
perceyuing
them selues
thus
hurt
,
Desperate
people
.
they
desperately
leapt
off
the
Rocks
into
the
Sea
,
and
drowned
them selues
:
which
if
they
had
not
done
,
but
had
submitted
them selues
:
or
if
by
any
meanes
we
could
haue
taken
them
aliue
,
(
being
their
enimies
as
they
iudged
)
we
would
both
haue
saued
them
,
and
also
haue
sought
remedie
to
cure
their
woundes
receiued
at
our
handes
.
But
they
,
altogether
voyde
of
humanitie
,
Ignoraunt
what
mercie
meaneth
.
and
ignorant
what
mercy
meaneth
,
in
extremities
looke
for
no
other
then
death
:
and
perceiuing
they
should
fall
into
our
hands
,
thus
miserably
by
drowning
rather
desired
death
,
then
otherwise
to
be
saued
by
vs
:
the
rest
,
perceiuing
their
fellowes
in
this
distresse
,
fled
into
the
highe
mounteines
.
Two
women
taken
and
a
childe
.
Two
women
,
not
being
so
apt
to
escape
as
the
men
were
,
the
one
for
her
age
,
and
the
other
being
incombred
with
a
yong
childe
,
An
olde
woman
a
supposed
Diuell
or
,
Witch
.
we
tooke
.
The
olde
wretch
,
whome
diuers
of
oure
Saylers
supposed
to
be
eyther
a
Diuell
,
or
a
Witche
,
plucked
off
her
buskins
,
to
sée
,
if
she
were
clouen
footed
,
and
for
her
ougly
hewe
and
deformitie
,
we
let
her
goe
:
the
young
woman
and
the
childe
,
we
brought
away
.
We
named
the
place
where
they
were
slayne
,
Bloudie
point
:
and

Bay
or

,
Bloudie
Point

Yorks

,
after
the
name
of
one
of
the
Capteines
of
the
two

Hauing
this
knowledge
,
both
of
their
fiercenesse
and
crueltie
,
and
perceiuing
that
fayre

,

as
yet
,
is
not
able
to
allure
them
to
familiaritie
,
we
disposed
our selues
,
contrarie
to
our
inclination
,
something
to
be
cruel
,
returned
to
their
tentes
,
and
made
a
spoyle
of
the
same
.
Their
riches
are
neyther

,
or

for

with

more
to
be

at
for

,
then
for

Thus
returning
to

,
Oure

from

the

of

,
we
departed

,
after

had

dayes
:
and
so
,
the

we
came
to
our

anchored
in

with

(

to

which

through

of

God
is
contented
with

It

In

Our
Generall
,
desirous
to
haue
some
newes
of
his

,
The
care
which
our
General
had
to
heare
of
his

that
were
lost
.
whome
he
lost
the
yeare
before
,
with
some

with

repayred
with
the
Ship
boat
,
to
common
,
or
signe
with
them
for
familiaritie
,
wherevnto
he
is
persuaded
to
bring
them
.
They
,
at
the
first
shewe
,
made
tokens
,
Signes
for
penne
,
yncke
,
and
paper
.
that
thrée

were
aliue

and
that
within

and
(
as
we
iudged
)
bring
those
of
our

,
whiche
were
liuing

with

They
also
made
signes

of
their

whom
they
called
Cacough
,
Cacough

.
and
how
he
was
carried

With

was
deliuered

which
they
woulde
not

:
but
being
layde
vpon
the

,
and
the

gone
away
,
they
tooke
vp
:
which
likewise
they
doe
,
when
they
desire
any

for
chaunge
of
theirs
,
Their

laying

It

The
people
shewe
them selues
againe
on

.
After
4.
dayes
,
some
of
them
shewed
themselues
vpon
the
firme
land
,
but
not
where
they
were
before
.
Our
General
,
very
glad
thereof
,
supposing
to
heare
of
our
men
,
went
from
the
Islande
,
with
the
boate
,
and
sufficient
companie
with
him
.
They
séemed
very
glad
,
and
allured
him
,
Their
craft
to
betray
some
of
vs
.
about
a
certeine
point
of
the
land
:
behind
which
they
might
perceiue
a
companie
of
the
craftie
villains
to
lye
lurking
,
whome
our
Generall
woulde
not
deale
withall
,
for
that
he
knewe
not
what
companie
they
were
,
and
so
with
fewe
signes
dismissed
them
,
and
returned
to
his
companie
.
The
people
shewe
them selues
the
third
time
.
An other
time
,
as
our
said
Generall
was
coasting
the
contrie
,
with
two
litle
Pinisses
,
whereby
at
oure
returne
hée
might
make
the
better
relation
thereof
,
thrée
of
the
craftie
villains
,
with
a
white
skin
allured
vs
to
them
.
Once
againe
,
our
Generall
,
for
that
he
hoped
to
heare
of
his
men
,
went
towardes
them
:
at
oure
comming
neere
the
shoare
,
wheron
they
were
,
A
number
of
them
hidden
behind
stones
to
betray
vs
.
we
might
perceiue
a
number
of
them
lie
hidden
behinde
great
stones
,
&
those
thrée
in
sight
labouring
by
al
meanes
possible
,
that
some
woulde
come
on
land
:
&
perceyuing
wée
made
no
hast
by
words
nor
friendly
signes
,
which
they
vsed
by
clapping
of
their
handes
,
Their
firste
meanes
to
allure
vs
to
shoare
.
and
béeing
without
weapon
,
and
but
thrée
in
sighte
,
they
sought
further
meanes
to
prouoke
vs
therevnto
.
One
alone
layd
flesh
on
the
shoare
,
Their
seconde
meanes
.
whiche
we
tooke
vpp
with
the
Boate
hooke
,
as
necessarie
victualls
for
the
relieuing
of
the
man
,
woman
,
&
child
,
whom
we
had
taken
:
for
that
as
yet
,
they
could
not
digest
oure
meate
:
whereby
they
perceiued
themselues
deceiued
of
their
expectation
,
for
all
their
craftie
allurements
.
Yet
once
againe
,
to
make
(
as
it
were
)
a
full
shewe
of
their
craftie
natures
,
and
subtile
sleightes
,
Their
thirde
and
craftiest
allurement
.
to
the
intent
thereby
to

intrapped

taken
some
of
our

,
one
of

counterfeyted
himselfe
impotent

lame

who
seemed
to

with
great
difficultie

and
to

his

the

in

séemed
vnable
to

tooke
him
on

set
him

departed

leauing

séeme
)
all

A

counterfet
villaine

who
playing
his

very
well

hée
caused

with
his
Caleeuer
,
which
grased

his

The

fled

without
any

at

and
gott
him

and
the

from
their
lurking

,
with
their

Our
Generall
caused
some
Caléeuers
to
be
shot
off

,
Some
hurt
with
our

.
whereby
some
being
hurt
,
they
mighte
hereafter
stand
in
more
feare
of

This
was
all
the
aunswere

for
this

,
wée
could
haue

our
Generalls

By
these
craftie
trickes
the

easy

Their

at

,
being
thus
manifest
vnto
vs
,
maye
plainely
shewe
,
their
disposition
in
other
thinges
to
be

We
iudged
,
that
they
vsed
these
stratagemmes
,
thereby
to
haue
caught
some
of
vs
,
for
the
deliuering
of
the
man
,
woman
,
&
child
whome
we
haue
taken
.
They
are
men
of
a
large
corporature
,
and
good
proportion
:
Their
stature
and
making
.
their
colour
is
not
much
vnlike
the
Sunne
burnte
Countrie
man
,
who
laboureth
daily
in
the
Sunne
for
his
liuing
.
They
weare
their
haire
somethinge
long
,
and
cut
before
,
Their
apparel
as
wel
women
as
men
.
either
with
stone
or
knife
,
very
disorderly
.
Their
women
weare
their
haire
long
,
and
knit
vp
with
two
loupes
,
shewing
forth
on
either
side
of
their
faces
,
and
the
rest
foltred
vp
on
a
knot
.
Also
,
some
of
their
women
race
their
faces
proportionally
,
as
chinne
,
chéekes
,
and
forehead
,
and
the
wristes
of
their
handes
,
wherevpon
they
lay
a
colour
,
which
continueth
darke
azurine
.
They
eate
their
meate
all
rawe
,
both
fleshe
,
Their
meate
,
drinke
,
and
other
necessaries
.
fishe
,
and
foule
,
or
something
perboyled
with
bloud
&
a
little
water
,
whiche
they
drinke
.
For
lacke
of

,
they
wil
eate
yce
,
that
is
hard
frosen
,
as
pleasantly
as
we
will
doe
Sugar
Candie
,
or
other

.
If
they
,
for
necessities
sake
,
stand
in
néede
of
the
premisses
,
They
eate
the
grasse
whiche
groweth
in
that
countrie
.
such
grasse
as
the
countrie
yéeldeth
they
plucke
vppe
,
and
eate
,
not
deintily
,
or
salletwise
,
to
allure
their
stomaches
to
appetite
:
but
for
necessities
sake
,
without
either
salt
,
oyles
,
or
washing
,
like
brutish
beasts
deuoure
the
same
.
Barbarous
behauiour
.
They
neither
vse
table
,
stoole
,
or
table
cloth
for
comelinesse
:
but
when
they
are
imbrued
with
bloud
,
knuckle
déepe
,
and
their
kniues
in
like
sort
,
they
vse
their
tongues
as
apt
instruments
to
licke
them
cleane
:
in
doeing
whereof
,
they
are
assured
to
loose
none
of
their
victuals
.
They
franck
or
kéep
certeine
doggs
,
not
much
vnlike
Wolues
,
Dogges
like
vnto
wolues
,
whiche
they
yoke
together
,
as
we
do
oxen
and
horses
,
to
a
sled
or
traile
:
and
so
carrie
their
necessaries
ouer
the
yce
and
snowe
,
from
place
to
place
:
as
the
captiue
,
whom
we
haue
,
made
perfecte
signes
.
And
when
those
Dogges
are
not
apt
for
the
same
vse
:
They
eate
dogges
flesh
.
or
when
with
hunger
they
are
constreyned
,
for
lacke
of
other
victuals
,
they
eate
them
:
so
that
they
are
as
néedefull
for
them
,
in
respect
of
their
bignesse
,
as
our
oxen
are
for
vs
.
They
apparell
themselues
in
the
skinnes
of
such
beastes
as
they
kill
,
sewed
together
with
the
sinewes
of
them
.
Sinewes
of

seruing
them
in
place
of

.
All
the
fowle
which
they
kill
,
they
skin
,
and
make
thereof
one
kinde
of
garment
or
other
,
to
defend
them
from
the
cold
.
They
make
their
apparell
with
hoods
and
tailes
,
which
tailes
they
giue
,
Hoodes
and
tailes
to
their

.
when
they
thinke
to
gratifie
any
friendshippe
shewed
vnto
them
:
a
great
signe
of
friendshippe
with
them
.
The
men
haue
them
not
so
syde
as
the
women
.
The
men
and
women
weare
their
hose
close
to
their
legges
,
Their
hose
,
and
how
they
are
worne
.
from
the
wast
to
the
knée
,
without
any

,
as
well
the
one
kinde
as

Uppon
their

,
they
weare
hose
of
lether
,
with
the
furre
side
inward
,
two
or
thrée
paire
on
at
once
,
and
especially
the
women
.
In
those
hose
,
they
put
their
kniues
,
néedles
,
and
other
thinges
néedefull
to
beare
about
.
Their
gartering
.
They
put
a
bone
within
their
hose
,
whiche
reacheth
from
the
foote
to
the
knée
,
wherevpon
they
drawe
their
said
hose
,
and
so
in
place
of

,
they
are
holden
from
falling
downe
about
their
féete
.
They
dresse
their

very
softe
and
souple
with

on
.
In
cold
weather
or
Winter
,
they
weare
the

and
in
Summer
outward
.
Other
apparell
they

none
,
but
the

.
Those

whereof
they

Their

,
Their

at
the

,
and
the

sewed
together
with
sinowes
,
and
layd
therevppon
:
so
pitched
they
are
,
that
the
entraunce
into
them
,
is
alwayes
South
,
or
against
the
Sunne
.
They
haue
other
sortes
of
houses
,
whiche
wée
found
,
not

be
inhabited
,
which
are
raised
with
stones
and
What

,
and
a

layd
ouer
them
,
to
withstand
the
raine
,
or
other
weather
:
the
entraunce
of
them
béeing
not
much
vnlike
an
Quens
mouth
,
whereto
,
I
thincke
,
they
resort
for
a
time
,
to
fishe
,
hunt
,
and
fowle
,
and
so
leaue
them
for
the
next
time
they
come
thether
againe
.
Their
weapons
are
Bowes
,
Their
weapons
of
defence
.
Arrowes
,
Dartes
,
and
Slinges
.
Their
Bowes
are
of
a
yard
long
of
wood
,
sinewed
on
the
back
with
strong
veines
,
not
glued
too
,
but
fast
girded
and
tyed
on
.
Their
Bowe
stringes
are
likewise
sinewes
.
Their
arrowes
are
thrée
péeces
,
nocked
with
bone
,
and
ended
with
bone
,
with
those
two
ends
,
and
the
wood
in
the
middst
,
they
passe
not
in
lengthe
halfe
a
yard
or
little
more
.
They
are
fethered
with
two
fethers
,
the
penne
end
being
cutte
away
,
and
the
fethers
layd
vppon
the
arrowe
with
the
broad
side
to
the
woode
:
in
somuch
that
they
séeme
,
when
they
are
tyed
on
,
to
haue
foure
fethers
.
Three
sortes
of
heades
to
their
arrowes
.
They
haue
likewise
thrée
sortes
of
heades
to
those
arrowes
:
one
sort
of
stone
or
yron
,
proportioned
like
to
a
heart
:
the
second
sort
of
bone
,
much
like
vnto
a
stopte
head
,
with
a
hooke
on
the
same
:
the
thirde
sort
of
bone
likewise
,
made
sharpe
at
both
sides
,
and
sharpe
pointed
.
They
are
not
made
very
fast
,
but
lightly
tyed
to
,
or
else
set
in
a
nocke
,
that
vppon
small
occasion
,
the
arrowe
leaueth
these
heades
behinde
them
:
and
they
are
of
small
force
,
except
they
be
very
néere
,
when
they
shoote
.
Two
sortes
of
dartes
.
Their
Darts
are
made
of
two
sorts
:
the
one
with
many
forkes
of
bone
in
the
fore
ende
,
and
likewise
in
the
middest
:
their
proportions
are
not
muche
vnlike
our
toasting
yrons
,
but
longer
:
these
they
cast
out
of
an
instrument
of
wood
,
very
readily
.
The
other
sorte
is
greater
then
the
first
aforesayde
,
with
a
long
bone
made
sharp
on
both
sides
,
not
much
vnlike
a
Rapier
,
which
I
take
to
be
their
most
hurtfull
weapon
.
They
haue
two
sorts
of
boates
,
Two
sortes
of
Boates
made
of
Leather
.
made
of
Lether
,
set
out
on
the
inner
side
with
quarters
of
wood
,
artificially
tyed
together
with
thongs
of
the
same
:
the
greater
sort
are
not
much
vnlike
our
Wherries
,
wherein
sixtéene
or
twentie
men
may
fitte
:
they
haue
for
a
sayle
,
drest
the
guttes
of
such
beastes
as
they
kyll
,
very
fine
and
thinne
,
which
they
sewe
together
:
the
other
boate
is
but
for
one
man
to
sitte
and
rowe
in
,
with
one
oare
.
Their
order
of
fishing
,
hunting
,
and
fowling
,
are
with
these
sayde
weapons
:
They
vse
to
fowle
,
fish
,
&
hunt
.
but
in
what
sort
,
or
how
they
vse
them
,
we
haue
no
perfect
knowledge
as
yet
.
I
can
not
suppose
their
abode
or
habitation
to
be
here
,
It
is
to
be
supposed
that
their
inhabiting
is
elsewhere
.
for
that
neither
their
houses
,
or
apparell
,
are
of
no
such
force
to
withstand
the
extremitie
of
colde
,
that
the
countrie
séemeth
to
be
infected
with
all
:
neyther
doe
I
sée
any
signe
likely
to
performe
the
same
.
Those
houses
,
or
rather
dennes
,
which
stand
there
,
haue
no
signe
of
foot-way
,
or
any
thing
else
troden
,
whiche
is
one
of
the
chiefest
tokens
of
habitation
.
And
those
tents
,
which
they
bring
with
them
,
Their
tentes
are
moueable
from
place
to
place
.
when
they
haue
sufficiently
hunted
and
fished
,
they
remoue
to
other
places
:
and
when
they
haue
sufficiently
stored
them
of
suche
victuals
,
as
the
countrie
yeldeth
,
or
bringeth
foorth
,
they
returne
to
their
Winter
stations
or
habitations
.
This
coniecture
do
I
make
,
for
the
infertilitie
,
whiche
I
perceiue
to
be
in
that
countrie
.
They
haue
some

whereof
they
make
arrowe

Their

,
and
dartes
withal
,
whiche
are
very
vnapt
to
doe
any
thing
withall
,
but
with
great
labour
.
It
seemeth
,
that
they
haue
conuersation
with
some
other
people
,
of
whome
,
for
exchaunge
,
they
should
receiue
the
same
.
They
are
greatly
delighted
with
any
thinge
that
is
brighte
,
Wherin
they
delight
.
or
giueth
a

What
knowledge
they
haue
of
God
,
or
what
Idol
they
adore
,
wée
haue
no
perfect
intelligence
.
I
thincke
them
rather
Anthropophagi

,
Springes
the
original
of
great
waters
.
as
by
experience
is
seene
otherwhere
.
Such
valleies
,
as
are
capable
to
receiue
the
water
,
that
in
the
Summer
time
,
by
the
operation
of
the
Sunne
,
descendeth
from
great
abundance
of
snow
,
whiche
continually
lyeth
on
the
mounteines
,
and
hath
no
passage
,
sinketh
into
the
earth
,
and
so
vanisheth
awaye
,
without
any
runnell
aboue

,
by

occasion
,

is
opened

the

thereof

in

The

5.
fathoms

for
lacke
of
the
said
moysture
,
(
the
earth
,
euen
in
the
very
Summer
time
,
)
is
frosen
,
and
so
combineth
the
stones
together
,
that
scarcely
instruments
,
with
great
force
,
can
vnknitte
them

Also
,
where
the
water
in

vallies
can
haue
no
such
passage
away
,
by
the
continuaunce
of
time
,
in
such
order

is

rehearsed

the
yearely
descent

filleth
them
ful
,
that
at
the
lowest
banck
of

they
fall
into
the

vallie
,
and
so
continue
,
as
fishing
Pondes

Summer
time
full
of

in

Winter
hard

as
by

thereof
in

,
The
heate
in
Summer
not
comparable
to
the
cold
in
Winter
.
may
easily
be
perceiued
:
so
that
,
the
heate
of
Summer
,
is
nothing
comparable
,
or
of
force
,
to
dissolue
the
extremitie
of
colde
,
that
commeth
in
Winter
.
Neuerthelesse
,
I
am
assured
,
Springes
vnder
the
force
of
the
frost
within
the
earth
.
that
belowe
the
force
of
the
frost
,
within
the
earth
,
the
waters
haue
recourse
,
and
emptie
themselues
out
of
sighte
into
the
sea
,
which
through
the
extremitie
of
the
frost
,
are
constreyned

the

,
The
earth
by
occasion
of
frost
kept
the
warmer
.
by
which
occasion
,
the
earth
within
is
kept
the
warmer
,
and
springes
haue
their
recourse
,
which
is
the
onely
nutriment
of
Gold
and
Minerals
within
the

Springs

There
is
much
to
be
said
of
the
commodities
of
these
Countries
,
which
are
couched
within
the
bowels
of
the
earth
,
which
I
let
passe
till

thereof

Thus

An

with
the

Our

end
of
England
,

so
to
Milford
hauen
,
from
whence
our
General
rode
to
the
Court

for
order
,
to
what
port

the
shippe

We
lost
our
two
Barkes
in
the
way
homeward
,
Howe
,
and
when
,
we
lost
our
2.
Barks
,
which
God
neuerthelesse
restored
.
the
one
,
the
29.
of
August
,
the
other
,
the
31.
of
the

moneth
,
by
occasion
of
great
tempest
and
fogge
.
Howbeit
,
God
restored
the
one
to
Bristowe
,
and
the
other
making
his
course
by
Scotland
to
Yermouth
.
In
this
voyage
wée
lost
two

one
in

by
Gods
visitation

J
Could

vnto
your

the
Latitude

of

The
conclusion

as

haue
béene

not
altogether
so
perfect

I

also
left
