Ameland-Gat.
TWO leagues to the eastwards of the Schelling lyeth Ameland, lying E. N. E. and W. S. W. 4 great leagues; upon the West end of Ame∣land standeth a Cape, and a great thick flat Steeple called the Hoelm; the Roof of the Church is broken off, but the after-form with the Roof stand∣eth above the side Walls; to the eastward of the Church of Hoelm standeth a Mill, (with a House to the westward of the Mill) also a broad flat Tower. About the place where Midland-Church was wont to stand, lie three or four Sand-hills, which are low, flat, and long; toward the East end it is knobby Land, with white Sand among it: From the East end of Ameland runneth off a Riff almost three leagues into the Sea,
* 1.1 called Born-Riff, which is upon the out-side very steep, come no nearer it than twelve fathom; coming from the eastwards, you can∣not sayl within it, but sayling alongst by it in seven fa∣thom you shall not run a Bowls cast alongst without it.
