Voyages in Search of the North-West Passage

CHAPTER X
18/114

From this day till the sixth of this month we ran along Iceland, and had the south part of it at eight of the clock east from us ten leagues.
The seventh day of this month we had a very terrible storm, by force whereof one of our men was blown into the sea out of our waste, but he caught hold of the foresail sheet, and there held till the captain plucked him again into the ship.
The twenty-fifth day of this month we had sight of the island of Orkney, which was then east from us.
The first day of October we had sight of the Sheld, and so sailed along the coast, and anchored at Yarmouth, and the next day we came into Harwich.
