that her not getting into harbour was not occasioned by any disobedience of
the sayd Gosling Maundry or any other of the sayd shipps Company And further
saving his foregoeing deposition hee cannot answere/
the 8th hee saith hee did heare the sayd damerell give Command to the effect Interrogate not only
to the sayd Gosling and Maundry but to all the rest of the sayd shipps company, and
knoweth that notwithstanding the wordes predeposed of they did all yeild obedience
to the sayd damerells Command, and this deponent did (after the sayd Command
given) helpe to launche the shallopps and loosen the shipp from the Ice and
from the other shipps whereto shee was fastned and helpe to make way through
the Ice for her about fower or five myle and untill such tyme as the sayd damerell
Commanded to make her fast to the Ice againe, and knoweth that the sayd
Gosling and Maundry and the rest of the sayd shipps company did every of
them according to their ability helpe and assiste to worke the sayd shipp into
the Ice toward shoare according to the sayd damerells Command, And further
saving his foregoeing deposition hee cannot answere
To the 9th hee cannot answere/
To the 10th hee saith hee knoweth of noe Counsell called by the
Interrogate Gosling and Maundry and therefore cannot answere to this Interrogatorie./
To the 11th hee saith the Owners Adventure and Greyhound after they parted from
the other fower English shipps aforesayd, did worke into the Ice toward
the harbour or shoare in Greeneland fower or five myles, and were then
about eight or tenn leagues from shoare in this deponents Judgment,
and hee verily beleeveth and is perswaded in his conscience that by reason
of the thicknesse of the Ice towards shoare it was farr more difficult and
hazardous to worke to shoare then to worke out the sea againe, neither
in deede was there in this deponents Judgment any hopes or possibility
of workeing her to shoare or harbour by reason of the thicknesse of the
Ice towards shoare, And further hee cannot answere/
To the 12th hee saith hee cannot answere heareing noe perswasions or
diswasions used to the effect Interrogate, by the sayd Gosling Maundry or
any other of the sayd shipps Company./
To the 13th hee saith that hee knoweth that one reason
of the sayd damerells Keepeing company with fflemish shipps was
to have their Company to duckes Cove Interrogate, for that hee
imployed this deponent (being skilled in the dutch tongue) to speake to them
and treate with them about goeing thither, they being desyrous to goe
thither if they could, (by reason they could not gett into harbour in Greeneland)
but not dareing to goe in thither without leave of the English to whome the
fishing of that place belonged, to which place the Ice not affordeing a
convenient passage neither the sayd dutch nor the sayd damerell could attayne
And hee this deponent verily beleeveth and is perswaded in his conscience
that they sayd damerell did doe his best endeavour to have made a good voyage
of the voyage in question if hee could have done the same And soe did all the rest
of the companye of the Owners Adventure as hee in like manner beleeveth
and is perswaded And further hee cannot answere/
