The Names of the principall places, which the Russes sayle by from Mezen to the Pechorskoie Zauorot, or the Hauen of Pechora. 1611.

FRom Mezen to Candinos, with a faire wind and stiffe gale, is thirtie houres sayle: They say∣ling commonly almost 40. leagues in foure and twentie houres, according to which it is 50. leagues. From Candinos to the Ile of Colgoie, is as before thirtie houres sayling, and after 40. leagues in foure and twentie houres, is 50. leagues. From Candinos to Promoya or Obscure, is twentie houres sayling, or 35. leagues. From the Ile of Colgoie to Colocol-coua, is fifteene houres [ 40] sayling, and reckoned as aboue appeareth, is 25. leagues. Along the shoare of this place are heapes of Sand, in the forme of Bells. Therefore the Russes call this place Colocol-coua, being deriued from Colocol, which in English signifieth a Bell. From Colocol-coua to the Peasaneetsa, is three houres sayle, or 5. leagues. This place is onely a small Brooke which they vse for a Sea-marke, more then for any benefit is to bee reaped at the same. From Peasaneetsa to the Pechorskoie Za∣uorot, is sixe houres sayle, or 10. leagues. So that from Colgoie Iland to this foresayd Pechorskoie Zauorot, is not aboue 40. leagues at the most.
