Summary
But as even after these voyages of William Barentz the English had repeatedly tried that northern way, the Directors of the East India Company resolved three years ago to send there a certain Mr. Hudson, an Englishman. He, having found no way to the east, but, instead of it, the ocean almost entirely obstructed by ice, went to the west and returned without any profit to England. He was then sent out again by the English, and his voyage was far more prosperous, but his own fortune far worse. For, having after many labours passed beyond the Terra de Baccalaos for about three hundred miles to the west, and having wintered there in latitude 52°, and being sure to be able to go still farther; then, not only he himself, but all his officers were put into a boat by their mutinous crew and left to drift on the waves. The sailors returned home without delay. We have added his geographical observations to the present book. We expect more certain news by the ships which have already been sent there; and even the much desired report that they will have passed through the strait.
