ment than the other; but you shal vnderstand that
Gabriel was not able to make his party good, because there
were 17 lodias of the Kerils company who tooke his part,
and but 2 of Gabriel's company. The next high water
Gabriel and his company departed from thence, and rowed to
their former company and neighbours, which were in number
28 at the least, and all of them belonging to the river
Cola. And as I vnderstood Keril made reckoning that the
hauser which was fast in his anker should have bene his
owne, and at first would not deliver it to our boat,
insomuch that I sent him worde that I would complain vpon
him, whereupon he deliuered the hauser to my company. The
next day being Saturday, I sent our boat on shore to fetch
fresh water and wood, and at their comming on shore this
Keril welcomed our men most gently, and also banketed
them, and in the meanetime caused some of his men to fill
our baricoes with water, and to help our men to beare wood
into their boat; and then he put on his best silke coate,
and his collar of pearles and came aboorde againe, and
brought his present with him: and thus having more respect
vnto his present than to his person, because I perceiued
him to be vain-glorious, I bade him welcome and gaue him a
dish of figs; and then he declared vnto me that his father
was a gentleman, and that he was able to shew me pleasure,
and not Gabriel, who was but a priest's sonne."

After Burrough has given account of a storm, during which he lost a
jolly boat, which he had purchased at Vardoehus, and by which they
were detained some time in the neighbourhood of Cape St. John (whose
latitude was fixed at 66 deg. 50') he continues:--

"Saturday (the 14/24th July) at a Northnorthwest sunne the
wind came at Eastnortheast, and then we weied, and plied
to the Northwards, and as we were two leagues shot past
the Cape, we saw a house standing in a valley, which is
dainty to be seene in those parts and by and by I saw
three men on the top of the hil. Then I iudged them, as it
afterwards proued, that they were men which came from some
other place to set traps to take vermin[109] for their
furres, which trappes we did perceiue very thicke alongst
the shore as we went."

The 14th to the 19th July, new style, were passed on the coast of
Kanin Nos.[110] On the 19th at noon Burrough was
