[35] An excellent English edition of the voyage of Linschoten to the East Indies in two vols. was printed for the Hakluyt Society in 1885; edited by Mr Arthur C. Burnell and Mr Tiele of Utrecht.
[36] Linschoten wrote a very interesting account of this voyage with Tetgales in 1594.
[37] Linschoten’s narrative of this second voyage was published in 1601, the 3rd edition in 1638. On his return Linschoten settled at Enkhuizen and became Treasurer of the town. Here he was the friend of Lucas Waghenaer, author of the best sailing directions of that time. Linschoten published a translation of the History of the West Indies, by Acosta. He died in 1611, aged 48. De Veer wrote an account of the proceedings of Barentsz’s ship during the second voyage.
[38] In 1603 Stephen Bennet came to the same island and named it Cherrie Island, after his patron Sir Francis Cherrie, an Adventurer of the Russia Company.
[39] The schuit was a larger boat.
[40] The narrative of Gerrit de Veer was translated and edited for the Hakluyt Society by Dr Beke in 1852. A new edition was edited, at my request, by that gallant young Dutch Arctic officer Koolemans Beynen in 1876.
[41] Another Norwegian Captain named Gundersen reached the Ice Haven of Barentsz in August 1875.
