Voyages in Search of the North-West Passage

CHAPTER X
83/114

Here we came to a harbour at six of the clock at night.
The 4th day, in the morning, the master went on shore with ten of his men, and they brought us four of the people rowing in their boats, aboard of the ship.

And in the afternoon I went on shore with six of our men, and there came to us seven of them when we were on land.

We found on shore three dead people, and two of them had their staves lying by them, and their old skins wrapped about them, and the other had nothing lying by, wherefore we thought it was a woman.

We also saw their houses, near the seaside, which were made with pieces of wood on both sides, and crossed over with poles and then covered over with earth.

We found foxes running upon the hills.
