With particular caution, you should see that there is no betrayal, attack or danger in Vardihus, so that any harm is not caused to our ships by some kings, sovereigns or companies that do not like our newly open trade with Russia and which want to prevent and prevent it. This was said by many boastful words, and this requires even more inspiration and attention.

On this day, we reached Ladi-Of-Holland Oour Lady of Holland, where, due to the eastern wind, they were anchored to go.

However, with the help of God, she left the rocks, albeit with a big leak. So we remained in the named Harbor until May 28. At about six o’clock in the evening the wind blew from the southwest; We raised the anchors and left the cape, heading for. We continued to go on with. Then the wind began with a storm and with heavy rain in the north, we lay on Badewind, going to with.

This went on until noon on the 3rd, when the wind blew from the west again, and we went in our right direction to the north to 3 hours.

Castle on the island - two miles from the coast of Finland; He belongs to the king Danish and is the extreme northeastern point of his possessions. Near the island on which Vardihus stands, there are two others. The inhabitants of all three, the islands live exclusively fishing, making a lot of dried cod, which is dried in the cold.

Their only dwelling is the tents that they transfer from one place to another, depending on the time of the year. They do not know any crafts or arts, but they can only shoot, and both men and women exercise in this daily and beat the animals that they need for food. At this shore, the depth reaches 20-30 fathoms; The bottom is sandy, convenient to abandon the anchor. The course of this cape comes from Yu.
