Their names employed in this action are as followeth: Henry Hudson, master and pilot; Robert Juet, the master his mate: Ludlowe Arnall; John Cooke, boatsonne; Philip Stacie, carpenter; John Barnes; John Braunch, cooke; John Adrey; James Strutton; Michel Feirce; Thomas Hilles; Richard Tomson; Robert Raynar; John Hudson; and Humfrey Gilby. The courses observed in this journall were by a compasse, that the needle and the north of the Flye were directly one on the other.
Anno 1608, the two and twentieth of Aprill, being Friday, we set sayle at Saint Katherines, and fell downe to Blackewall.
The twentieth of May, at noone, by observation we were in 64 degrees, 52 minutes; and at this time and place the needle declined under the horizon by the inclinatory 81 degrees, and wee had a smooth sea, by meanes whereof my observation was good.
The one and twentieth, at night, thicke fog; wee say led north north-east; wee steered north north-east as afore: in the after-noone little wind and thicke fog; we accounted us in 67 degrees, the sea smooth, the needle declined 82 degrees; this night was calme and cleere. The three and twentieth, in the morning the wind was easterly, we stood north north-east, and north and by east. All the fore-noone was foggie: in the after-noone it cleered, and the wind shortned upon us, we made our way good north all night.
