A briefe note of the Morsse and the use thereof.
IN the first voyage of Jaques Carthier, wherein he discovered the Gulfe of S. Laurence and the said Isle of
Ramea, in the yeere 1534, he met with these beasts, as he
witnesseth in these words. About the said Island are
very great beasts as great as oxen, which have two
great teeth in their mouthes like unto Elephants teeth,
and live also in the sea. Wee sawe one of them sleeping
upon the banke of the water, and thinking to take it,
we went t ry
is sold for halfe the money: the graine of the bone is
somewhat more yellow then the Ivorie. One M. Alexander Woodson of Bristoll my old friend, an excellent
Mathematician and skilful Phisition, shewed me one of
these beasts teeth which were brought from the Isle of
Ramea in the first prize, which was half a yard long or
very litle lesse: and assured mee that he had made tryall
of it in ministring medicine to his patients, and had found
it as soveraigne against poyson as any Unicornes home.

IN the beginning of the former relation written by Richard
Fisher servant to the worshipfull Master Hill of Redriffe
is, as you reade, a briefe reporte of their loosing of their
consort the shippe of Master George Drake of Apsham:
which though shee came directly to the Isle of Ramea,
yet because shee was not ready so soone by two moneths
as she ought to have bene, she was not onely the hinderance of her consort the Marigolde, & lost the season
of the yere for the making of her voyage of killing the
Morses or Sea Oxen, which are to be taken in Apr uenting of that gainefull
trade by the aforesayd nations of the Britons and Baskes,
may in part be supplyed by the voyage of Master Charles
Leigh to the sayde Island of Ramea: which also comming
much too late thither, as Master George Drake had done,
was wholly prevented and shutte out to his and his
friendes no small detriment and
