The two-and-twentieth day in the morning we weighed, and went again
to the place where we lost our men and our boat. We had sight of
fourteen boats, and some came near to us, but we could learn nothing
of our men. Among the rest, we enticed one in a boat to our ship's
side with a bell; and in giving him the bell we took him and his
boat, and so kept him, and so rowed down to Thomas William's island,
and there anchored all night.
The twenty-sixth day we weighed to come homeward, and by twelve of
the clock at noon we were thwart of Trumpet's Island.
The next day we came thwart of Gabriel's Island, and at eight of the
clock at night we had the Cape Labrador west from us ten leagues.
The twenty-eighth day we went our course south-east.
We sailed south-east and by east, twenty-two leagues.
The first day of September, in the morning, we had sight of the land
of Friesland, being eight leagues from us, but we could not come
nearer it for the monstrous ice that lay about it.
