did accordingly, and saith that the sayd Maundry seeing the sayd Master
at a stand and uncertaine what to do having left the Company of the other
shipps, sayd hee was willinger to worke out to sea then to work further
in, and that hee had rather hee and his cloathes were aboard some fflemish
shipp then on board the Owners Aventure though hee lost his wages,
for hee supposed the danger soe great shee being soe farr in the Ice that
the least gale of a Westerly winde would sinke the sayd shipp and
stave her to peeces or to that effect and that it was imposible in
his opinion for any shipp to gett into harbour in Greeneland
that yeare or words to that effect, and saith the sayd Gosling and
Maundry saving the words before mentioned did not at any tyme
speake anything against or actually withstand the sayd Masters
Commands touching the good of the sayd voyage ˹or incourage any other of the sayd shipps Company soe to doe˺ but did readily
doe whatsoeuer hee commanded and did nothing in preiudice of the voyage
other then what is before expressed And hee this deponent verily
beleeveth and XX is perswaded ˹in his conscience˺ that the getting to shoare or harbour
was a thinge ˹then˺ altogeather impossible, they haveing not then nor indeed GUTTER
at any tyme after their first comming as aforesayd neere Bell Point
the like faire oportunitie of getting into harbour as XXXXXXXX ˹at their being neere Bell Point as aforesayd˺ And
hee the rather beleeveth that when the sayd shipp soe made back to gett to
seas there was noe likelyhood of gaineing shoare for that the sayd
damerell getting to seas againe and being cleere out of the Ice and
there seeing that the sayd Master Pybus his shipp was ready to sinke
by dammage receaved from the Ice, did thereupon openly upon the deck
in presence of this deponent and divers others of the Owners Adventures
Company saye that hee would not bee in the Ice againe soe farr
as hee was for five hundred poundes, And gave this deponent
and his mate Command being his Carpenters to goe on board the sayd Pybus
to helpe to stopp his shipps leake which they did, And further
to these articles hee cannot depose. sXXX/

To the 9th hee saith that the arlate Pybus Welch Child and Golding
are able sea men and well experienced in the Greeneland ffishing
this hee knoweth for that hee hath knowne them for these sixe or seaven
goe Masters of shipps thither for divers voyages And saith hee
hath heard the sayd Pybus Welch and Child since their comming
home from the voyage in question saye that they held it a thing
impossible for the sayd damerell (when hee left their Company
and wrought further into the Ice) to gaine shoare or harbour for
Bell Point bearing East south East and the Ice being soe thick
and it being when hee was neerest shoare there ˹after hee left their Company˺ at least tenn
leagues to shoare, and further saving his foregoeing deposition touching
the hurt receaved by Pybus his shipp which hee heere alsoe affirmeth
for truth hee cannot depose./

To the 10th and 11th articles of the sayd allegation hee saith that the
sayd damerell with his shipps the Owners Adventure and Greyhound
being gott out to sea upon or about the eighteenth of June last and the sayd Pybus his Leake mended the sayd damerell kept Company
with the sayd Pibus and the other three London shipps from the sayd 18th of
June
