Transcription

impossible for any shipp to gett into harbour in Greeneland
that yeare, and that they were confident that noe shipp could get
in to harbour there that yeare, or words to that effect by which meanes
the Company of the Owners Adventure and Greyhound were soe
discouraged that they did not attempt to worke in toward shoare
though the Master often desyred them soe to doe, And saith that while
the sayd Damerell was at sea after he lost the Company of the
sayd ffower London shipps, he mett with some fflemings at sea
and went on board of one of them, and stayed there some smale
And saith the Company of the Owners Adventure and Greyhound
by reason they kept at sea and did not gett to harbour suffer much
hardshipp, and some of them fell sick of the scurvie for want
of refreshment on shoare, but saith the same was not (in his
this deponents judgement) occasioned by any default of the said
damerell, but by the the default of the sayd Mates, and by the
unwillingnesse to endeavour to gaine shoare, and discouraging
the Company by their speeches aforesayd, And further saving his
foregoeing deposition he cannot answer otherwise then negatively
for that hee well observed that the sayd damerell was
very desyrous to have gained harbour after his comming
out of the Ice as aforesayd but was allwaies hindered by the
backwardness of his mates thereto and their speeches whereby
they discouraged the sayd shipps Company And which in his this
deponents judgement was the only cause which the sayd voyage
proved soe insuccessfull as it did./

To the last hee saith saving his foregoeing deposition to the 6th
article of the libell hee cannot more fully [answere GUTTER]
this Interrogatorrie./
