Note 834 — THE THIRD VOYAGE NORTH-WARD TO THE KINGDOMES OF CATHAIA and China, in Anno 1596.

The 26 of July it began to be faire weather, which we had not had for certaine834 daies together, the wind still north; and about the south sunne we put to sea, but it was so great a creeke that we were forced to put foure [16] miles into the sea,835 before wee could get about836 the point thereof; and it was most in837 the wind, so that it was midnight before wee got aboue it, sometimes sayling and sometimes rowing; and hauing past it, we stroke838 our sailes and rowed along by the land.
