all the shipps in the Company had soe laine fast and some tyme the
sayd damerell Commanded the said Maundrie Gosling and the
humfreys and the rest of the Companyes of the Owners Adventure and
Greyhound to loose the sayd two shipps from the Ice and make ready
their boates to towe the sayd two shipps further into the Ice toward shoare
which Commands were well heard by the sayd Maundrye Gosling and
the rest of the shipps Companyes And hee saith that the other
shipps in Company of the Owners Adventure and the Greyhound
not endeavouring to worke any further into the Ice, the sayd Gosling
Maundry and others were unwilling to worke and further in
and did for some smale tyme refuse to performe the sayd damerells
Commands touching workeing further into the Ice, and were unwilling
to worke further in without the Company of the other shipps
whereupon divers uncivill words and language passed betwixt
the sayd damerell and Gosling and they called each
other roague and knave and other opprobious language the
particulars whereof hee doth not at present remember And the
sayd damerell told the sayd Gosling that hee should answere
for such his ill language and that hee would make him knowe
that hee was the Commander and the sayd Gosling replyed and
sayd that hee had as much power and Command of the
shipp (meaning the Owners Adventure) committed to him by the
Merchants the Imployers for the ordering of the voyage (meaning
the voyage in question) as the sayd damerell had or words to
that effect, and saith that the sayd damerell still continueing
his Command to worke the sayd shipps Owners Adventure and Greyhound
further into the Ice toward shoare the sayd Gosling and Maundrye
and the rest of the Companye thereupon gave obedience to the
Comands of the sayd damerell and did worke in the sayd
two shipps some myles further into the Ice toward shoare than
the other English shipps did And further to this article hee
cannot depose not knowing by whose meanes the sayd shipps
were brought back out of the Ice to sea for that hee was
asleepe in this Cabbin when they turned about to make sea
againe and came not upon deck till the shipps Owners Adventure
and Greyhound were gott out of the Ice to sea againe
And saving hee saith the sayd shipps of his knowledge
returned for England with a smale quantitie of bloober
oyle./

To the 6th hee saith hee being Chirugion of the sayd shipp
Owners Adventure did not minde the what was done touching
the chaseing or strikeing of whales and therefore cannot depose
to this article/
