Another Account of the latter part of the English Expedition to Greenland, under the Command of Captain James Hall, in 1612

WEDNESDAY, the eighth of July, 1612, in the morning, I perceiued the sunne and the moone both very faire aboue the horizon, as I had done diuers times before. ² At which time, I purposed to finde out the longitude of that place, by the moones coming to the meridian. Most part of this day I spent about finding of the meridian line; 121which I did vpon an Hand neere the sea, hanging at the extreames of my meridian line two threeds with plummets at them, instead of an index and sights.
