Transcription

June for divers dayes next following, and while they were soe in
Company they did againe attempte to put into the Ice toward harbour
and entered a little way in, but the weather proving on a suddaine
extraordinary thick and a hard gale of winde blowing, they were
all forced out to sea againe, and the weather still continuing
thick and the storme and winde encreaseing, the sayd damerell with
his shipps thereby lost the company of the other fower London shipps
and was driven to sea about 46 leagues from shoare, and never
recovered Company of the sayd English shipps during the voyage in
question And saith the sayd damerell having lost their Company
did afterwards associate and keepe company with two fflemish
shipps and this deponent heard him the sayd damerell hee being with him in the great Cabbin aboard of the sayd fflemings make consort=
shipp with the sayd fflemings to show them the way to Point Negro
being a point to the Eastward beyond ducks Cove where
hee supposed great store of fish to bee, which the sayd fflemings
did in the English tongue thanke him for, and gave him a cheese, and
the sayd damerell did accordingly goe to the Eastward with the sayd
fflemings but could not make any harbour there, there
being alsoe very great quantities of Ice, soe that the sayd damerell
not getting to harbour but keeping at sea some of his Company of the Owners Adventure for want of
refreshment on shoare fall sick of the Scurvie, And saith hee hath
heard severall of the Companyes of the sayd fower London shipps
since their returne from the voyage in question saye, that (after
they lost the Company of the Owners Adventure and Greyhound at
sea as aforesayd) they did about the thirteenth of July last gett
into harbour and kill whales and make a good voyage And
soe (as hee this deponent verily beleeveth and is perswaded in
his conscience) might the sayd damerell have done if hee
had not missed his oportunite of getting into harbour by
goeing Eastward with the fflemings, And hee saith that after the
17th day of June last there was not varianse betwixt
the sayd damerell and his Mates or any other of his Command, and her
Company touching the sayd voyage but they were all obedient to his Command, and hee
might and did goe with the sayd shipp whether hee pleased, and
this deponent beleeveth that nothing acted or sayd by the sayd Gosling or Maundry
was any lett or hinderanse for the voyage in question they
yeilding actuall obedience to his Commands notwithstanding
the differense and ill language aforesayd, but hee this deponent is
verily persuaded in his conscience that the losse of the voyage in
question was by the default of the sayd damerell in goeing
to the Eastward as aforesayd, and by his chaseing all fish that hee sawe
spowte, and thereby fo loosing his oportunities by often following
them farr from the edge of the Ice and not keeping neere the Ice
to see when an oportunitie offered to gett in towards shoare, And
further hee cannot depose./
