Voyages in Search of the North-West Passage

CHAPTER X
45/114

They account this island to be twenty-five leagues long, and the longest way of it south-east and north-west.

The southern part of it is in the latitude of fifty-seven degrees and one second part, or thereabout.

They continued in sight of it from the twelfth day at eleven of the clock till the thirteenth day three of the clock in the afternoon, when they left it; and the last part they saw of it bare from them north-west-by-north.

There appeared two harbours upon that coast, the greatest of them seven leagues to the northwards of the southernmost point, the other but four leagues.

There was very much ice near the same land, and also twenty or thirty leagues from it, for they were not clear of ice till the 15th day of September, afternoon.
