Voyages in Search of the North-West Passage

CHAPTER X
54/114

We found no fresh water among these islands, but only snow-water, whereof we found great pools.

The cliffs were all of such ore as Master Frobisher brought from Meta Incognita.

We had divers shewes of study or Moscovie glass, shining not altogether unlike to crystal.

We found an herb growing upon the rocks whose fruit was sweet, full of red juice, and the ripe ones were like currants.

We found also birch and willow growing like shrubs low to the ground.
