Hauen, from whence our Generall rode to the Court for order, to what Port
or Hauen to conduct the ship.

[Sidenote: How and when we lost our 2. Barks which God neuerthelesse
restored.] We lost our two Barkes in the way homeward, the one the 29. of
August, the other the 21. of the same moneth, by occasion of great tempest
and fogge. Howbeit God restored the one to Bristowe, and the other made his
course by Scotland to Yermouth. In this voyage we lost two men, one in the
way by Gods visitation, and the other homeward cast ouer borde with a surge
of the Sea.

[Sidenote: The conclusion.] I could declare vnto the Readers, the latitude
and longitude of such places and regions as we haue bene at, but not
altogether so perfectly as our masters and others, with many circumstances
of tempests and other accidents incident to Sea-faring men, which seeme not
altogether strange, but I let them passe to their reports as men most apt
to set forth and declare the same. I haue also left the names of the
Countreys on both the shores vntouched, for lacke of vnderstanding the
peoples language: as also for sundry respects, not needfull as yet to be
declared.

Countreys new discovered where commoditie is to be looked for, doe better
accord with a new name giuen by the discouerers, then an vncertaine name by
a doubtfull Authour.

Our generall named sundry Islands, Mountaines, Capes, and Harboroughs after
the names of diuers Noble men and other gentlemen his friends, as wel on
the one shore as also on the other.
