Note 13 — INTRODUCTION TO THE FIRST EDITION.

Leaving Gravesend on the 23rd of April of the latter year, Burrough, on the 23rd of May, passed the North Cape, which he had so named on his first voyage, and on the 9th of June reached Kola, where he fell in with several small Russian vessels (lodji), all “bound to Pechora, a fishing for salmons and morses”.13 The master of one of these boats, named Gabriel, rendered good service to Burrough, who is diffuse in his praise of Gabriel’s conduct, as contrasted with that of other Russian seamen with whom he had to do.
