Voyages in Search of the North-West Passage

CHAPTER X
81/114

They dry their fish in the sun; and when they are dry they pack them up in the top of their houses.
If we would go thither to fishing more than we do, we should make it a very good voyage, for we got a hundred green fishes in one morning.

We found here two Englishmen with a ship, which came out of England about Easter Day of this present year, 1586; and one of them came aboard of us and brought us two lambs.

The Englishman's name was Master John Royden, of Ipswich, merchant; he was bound for London with his ship.

And this is the sum of that which I observed in Iceland.

We departed from Iceland the 16th day of June, in the morning, and our course was north-west; and saw on the coast two small barques going to a harbour; we went not to them, but saw them afar off.
