Transcription

To the 13th hee saith that the intente of the sayd damerell in keeping company
with the dutch shipps was as hee beleeveth with intente to get to a place
of ffishing which neither they nor hee experimentally knew how to goe to
called Point Negro which they sought for but never attayned to, and being
frustrated of that designe, the sayd damerell looseing which their company
in thick weather, did afterwards by him selfe (without the company of
the dutch) make with the Owners Adventure and Greyhound for Ducks Cove
but could not gett in there for Ice, And further saving his foregoing
deposition hee cannot Answere./

To the 14th hee saith the sayd damerell is an able seaman and sufficently
experienced in Greeneland voyages and hath gone severall voyages
thither/

To the 15th hee saith hee knoweth all the persons interrogate they goeing
in the Owners Adventure with this deponent the voyage in question
And saith that Reynolds and Kirton and Ashmore have as land men and not
otherwise bin severall voyages at Greeneland, And for the sayd Chauntry
and ffoard they went as Land men only the voyage in question and hath heard
them sayd they were never at Greeneland before, and saith the first tyme
hee save Kirton and Ashmore was when they went with him in the
service of the sayd Batson in two voyages to Greeneland the sayd
Ashmore in the shipp Richard aforesayd and the sayd Kirton in the sayd
shipp the Gentleman of London, And Reynolds Channtrie and ffoard And
saith hee know not before the voyage in question, and saith hee beleeveth the sayd
Reynolds Channtrie and Kirton are honest men and such as will not
wittingly or willingly sworne an untruth and further cannot answere/

To the 16th hee saith that at Greenland the Ice doth usually open
and shutt, and men that goe thither when great yeares of Ice and must
watch their oportunitie to get into harbour./

To the last hee saith hee beleeveth in his conscience that
the sayd damerell after hee came out of the Ice had Commanded his
Companyes of the Owners Adventure to worke in toward
shoare to make a Port they would not have disobeyed him, And
saith that after the sayd damerell came from duckes Cove to
hee came toward Bell Sound, and the Ice was then (in this
deponents judgement) farr opener and likelyer to yeild a
passage in then when the difference aforesayd arose betweene
the sayd damerell and his Mates, but the sayd damerell was
soe fickle and variable in his resolutions and that that although
his Mates and others did advise him to attempt getting into
harbour yet hee slighted their advice, and this deponent hath
heard him the sayd damerall say that it laye wholly in his
brest to doe what hee would in the sayd voyage and therefore why
should hee consult with any body or words to that effect
And further saving his foregoing deposition hee cannot answere/

Repeated before Doctor Godlophin/
