Kerguelen’s voyage to the north. 791 one to the other. Hiftorians informs us, that this mode of navigating is common among all the northern people that have been difcovered. Scheffer cites feveral examples in his work, De MJlitia Navali Veterum. The Mufceum Regiwn Danicum, and the authors which M. Hafseus refers to in his differtation de Leviathan Jobi may be con- fulted. I have obferved that the Greenlanders had no knowledge of arts and fciences. They are unable to count farther than twenty-one. They count by moons. It is by the courfe of that planet they compute the return of the whales, and other fifh to their coaft. The fifteenth of June, I failed from Patrixfiord to go to Norway ; it was during this run that I founded, and made the obfervations on the Shetland iilands, and the Orcades, which I have before detailed to the reader; I paffed fcuth of Fair ifle in the little Tuns, and afterwards directed my courfe towards the fhores of Norway. The firft of July, in the morning I made land. I took the latitude at noon, five leagues north of the rocks or iflands which are called Utfires; and found thefe iflands to be placed too far fouth by 15' in the Neptune. On the Utfires, pilots are to be met with for the Berghen roads. I lhall not enter into any further account of the bearings of this coaft, all that was neceffary to fay having been mentioned before. At two o’clock in the afternoon, being about three leagues from fhore, Norwegian pilots came on board, who made me luff up to make the paffage of Rooth-holm ; but the wind, which blew but gently from the north, at length entirely died away, and we had calm all the night long. The fecond, at three o’clock in the morning, a feeble wind arofe in the N. E., with a thick fog : we luffed under the land, keeping always a league from fhore ; and by ten o’clock it clearing up, we entered the above-mentioned paffage of Rooth-holm, through which I paffed the year before ; but inftead of proceeding up it as far as Ingefon, as on our firft voyage, we anchored in the port of Brandfoom, which is well of Ingefon : it is larger, and the entrance more commodious. The entrance of Brandfoom is known by an ifland, in the fhape of a pye, at the opening of the port, and which is very healthy : three veffels of war may moor there in fafety. There is always a fine fea, and no wind is felt there. This port, is to flarboard on paffmg to the north of Bomel; it is pof- fible to enter it by any wind from the N. W. to the E. A veffel mooring there ffiould call anchor in fifteen to twenty fathoms, with gravelly bottom, and fend a fmall anchor with a tow-line on fhore from the ftern, fouth of the flream-anchor. The third, it rained, the iky was overcaft, and the wind blew frefii from the fouth. I failed at two in the afternoon to get up to Berghen. After proceeding three or four leagues a calm came on, and we were obliged to be towed by ail our boats to get to an anchorage. The fourth, in the morning, a light wind arofe from the S. S. W. : I got under fail, and anchored at Berghen at half pad two, in the fame place I had done in the frigate La Folle. After having taken in what provifions and refrefhments I required, I left Berghen on the twenty-Iourth of July, and went out through the northern paffage, as I had done the year before to return to Iceland. The thirtieth, at night, confidering myfelf twelve leagues S. E. of Langernefs, the wind northerly, with fog, I founded, but found no bottom, and brought-to. I ordered the officer of the watch to found every two hours during the fog, and to fteer W.N. W. if it difperfed fufficiently for difeerning the diftance of three leagues. The thirty-firft, at five in the morning, we faw land; I continued my courfe to get near it, but the wind blew very faintly from the north. At noon I found the latitude 663 26'. We faw in the afternoon a number of doggers, or filhing veffels, all of whom . that
