Transcription

June last And further saving his subsequent deposition hee cannot depose

To the 4th 5th 6th and 7th articles of the sayd libell hee saith that the
sayd two shipps or vessells the Owners Adventure and the Greyhound being
come neere the Coast of Greeneland this deponent gave order
to the sayd Gosling Maundrie and humfreys and the rest of the company
of the shipps Owners Adventure and Greyhound neere Bell Pointe in Greene
land, to make ready their boates and to towe in the sayd shippes amongst
the Ice and gett them either into some harbor or as neere the shoare
as they could this deponent well knowing (having
the Greenland trade for divers yeares last past) that such places are the
likelyest places where whales are to bee taken, And the sayd Gosling
Maundrey and humfreys and all the rest of the sayd shipps Companys
did very well heare and understand this deponents orders and directions
therein, and did for a while yeild obedience unto them, and did put
out their boates and worke the sayd shipps in to the Ice about
eight or tenn leagues as did alsoe fower other English shipps which were
then in Company with the Owners Adventure and Greyhound,
and after the sayd shipps had all sixe of them wrought soe farr into
the Ice, the Ice then proving to bee somewhat thick this deponent
ordered his Companyes of his two vessells upon the fifteenth daye of June last which was the same day they began to XXX XXX to make fast to a
great Ice peece of Ice and lash their vessells fast board and board
to the shipps of Mr Golding and Mr Welch being two of the other fower
English shipps aforesayd, who had alsoe cause their Companys
to make fast their two shipps to the same peece of ice and the sayd
shipps being soe fastened, they all laye there for some tyme then
when the Ice would open as usually it doth, and this deponent
the next day (observing that the Ice did begin to open betweene
shoare and the sayd shipps ˹to the Eastward to the said shipps˺) did goe on boarde the shipps of the said
Welch and Goulding and aske them whether they would work
in their shipps any further with the Ice and told them hee did
discover that the Ice opened towards the shoare to the Eastward of the sayd shipps and therefore hee
thought they might well worke further into the Ice
and gett to
Bell sound or Greene harbour, or some other place neere shoare
and told them that hee this deponent was not confined to any
one particular harbour, whereto the sayd Goulding and Welch replyed
that they did desyre to see the whether the Ice would open more toward
Bell Sound ward, they being by order enioyned to goe thither
not to any other place if they could by any meanes possible make
thither, whereupon this deponent seeing that the sayd Goulding and
Welch were bound only for that particular place of Bell sound
and not willing for that reason to worke further into the Ice unless
it opened so oportunely as to pull them into that particular place, and
this deponent being desyrous in regard
hee
