Theseventeenth of Aprill, 1610, we brake ground, and went downe from Saint Katharines Poole, and fell downe to Blackewall; and so plyed downe with the ships to Lee, which was the two and twentieth day.
The two and twentieth, I caused Master Coleburne to bee put into a pinke bound for London, with my letter to the Adventurars, importing the reason wherefore I so put him out of the ship, and so plyed forth.
The second of May, the wind southerly, at eeven we were thwart of Flamborough Head.
The fift, we were at the iles of Orkney, and here I set the north end of the needle, and the north of the flie all one.
The sixt, wee were in the latitude of 59 degrees, 22 minutes, and there perceived that the north end of Scotland, Orney, and Shotland are not so northerly as is commonly set downe. The eight day wee saw farre Ilands, in the latitude of 62 degrees, 24 minutes. The eleventh day we fell with the easter part of Island, and then plying along the souther part of the land we came to Westmony, being the fifteenth day, and still plyed about the mayne iland untill the last of May, with contrary winds, and we got some fowles of divers sorts.
