May.

[unspec 23] VPon Sunday the 23. of May, I departed with the Searchthrift from Colmo∣gro, the latitude whereof is 64. degrees, 25. minutes, and the variation of the compasse, 5. degrees, 10. minutes from the North to the East.

[unspec 26] Wednesday we came to the Island called Pozanka, which Island is within foure leagues of the barre Berozoua. It floweth here at an East and by South Moone full sea.

[unspec 29] Saturday in the morning we departed from Pozanka, and plied to the barre of Berôzoua Gooba, whereupon wee came to anker at a lowe water, and sounded the said Barre with our two Skiffes, and found in the best vpon the shoaldest of the barre 13. foote water by the rule. It high••th vpon this barre, in spring streames 3. foote water: and an East Moone maketh a full sea vpon this barre.

[unspec 30] Sunday in the morning wee departed from the barre of Berozoua, and plied along by the shoalds in fiue fadome, vntill I had sight of S. Nicholas roade, and then wee cast about to the Northwards, and went with a hommocke, which is halfe a mile to the Eastwards of Coya Reca,* 1.1 which hommocke and S. Nicholas abbey lye Southsouthwest, and Northnortheast, and be∣tweene

them are 11. leagues. Coia Reca is halfe a mile to the Eastwards of Coscaynos. Cos∣caynos & the middes of the Island called Mondeustoua ostroue,* 1.2 which is thwart of the barre of Berozoua lieth South and by East, North and by West, and betweene them are 4. leagues, or as you may say from the Seaboord part of the barre to Coscaynos are 3. leagues and a halfe.

Munday at a Northeast and by East sunne we were thwart of Coscaynos. [unspec 31]

Dogs nose lieth from Coscaynos Northnorthwest, and betweene them are eight leagues: and Dogs nose sheweth like a Gurnerds head, if you be inwardly on both sides of it: on the lowe point of Dogs nose there standeth a crosse alone.
