And then the wind came to the east-northeast with wrath and fury, and we stood to the north-northwest, and went to fetch the north shore, which is, as before said, wholly ranged with islands ; and we being near the said land and islands, the wind turned and came to the south, and we stood into the said bay, and the next day, the 9th of August, we came to Blanc Sablon. 1 END OF THE DISCOVERIES And after that, to wit, the fifteenth day of August, the day of the feast of the Assumption of Our Lady..., we parted together from the said harbor of Blanc Sab- lon after having mass, and with good weather we came as far as to mid-ocean between New Land and Brittany, at which place we had to remain three continuous days with a furious tempest of head winds, 1 "Blanc Sablon. " Carrier, following up the coast of Newfoundland, came to this place, which he left two months before, having failed to find the western passage which he had so diligently sought, and thence retracing his course through the Strait of Belle Isle made his way home.
