25. Anno Christi. 1630. May the first, the Muscovy Merchants of London sent a Ship called the Salutation of London for Greenland, which arrived there in safety the Eleventh of June following, together with two other Ships, all which were commanded by Captain William Goodler. The Ship wherein the Captain was stayed at Bell-sound; This of the Salutation at the Foreland: And the Captain meeting ⟨p. 57⟩with store of Whales, quickly made a Great Voyage, and so sent for the Salutation to take in part of his Train-Oil: By the way, as they went to him, meeting with Cross-Winds, the Master set-Eight of his Men on Shore to kill some Venison, in a place where there used to be good store. These Men taking with them a Brace of Dogs, a Snaphance, two Lances, and a Tinder-box, went on shore, and that day they laid Fourteen Good Deer upon the Ground: And then, being weary, and the Night coming on, they betook themselves to Rest, intending the next day to make an end of their Hunting, and so to return to their Ship: But the next day proved Foggy, and there was much Ice between the Shore and the Ship, and the Wind coming Southerly, the Ship was •ain to stand so far off into the Sea to be clear of the Ice, that they lost the sight of her; and the Weather growing thicker and thicker, they thought fit to Hunt along the Shore to Green-Harbour, and there to stay aboard the Ship, till their own Ship should come into the Port.
