the like in effect what is that to you, I … the like in effect what is that to you, I looke not upon you as one that is to<br />
bee made acquainted with that, whereto the sayd Gosling replyed to this effect<br />
I was told by the Merchants our Imployers when I was hyred, that you (meaning<br />
the sayd Damerell) were to doe nothing of great concernement touching this voyage<br />
without the advise of your mates and harponeeres, and therefore I pray consider what you<br />
doe, for it is good to take neighbours fare, there no as able men in the other<br />
shipps (meaning the sayd Welches Childs Pybus and Goldings shipps) as any<br />
are in ours, and as desyrous to advance their voyage as wee, and they doe<br />
not worke any further in why then should wee if wee leave our<br />
Company wee may come to repent it too late, whereto the sayd damerell<br />
answereing in an angrie manner, sayd to the sayd Gosling Jus or the like<br />
in effect, I looke upon you but as the Cabbin boy<br />
and as a simple fellowe,<br />
with which words the sayd Gosling being provoked, thereupon<br />
replyed and sayd thus or the like in effect wee will goe noe further except there were better hopes<br />
of getting to harbour, and thereupon severall angrie words passing betwixt<br />
the sayd Gosling and damerell which this deponent doth<br />
not now remember, the sayd damerell at length called the sayd Gosling<br />
pimpeing rogue, and gave him other opprobious language which not=<br />
withstanding the sayd damerell still continueing his commands to<br />
have the sayd shipp'' Owners Adventure'' wrought further into the Ice and<br />
the shallopps being by the sayd shipps Company made ready to that purpose<br />
while the words predeposed of happened betwixt the sayd damerell and Gosling,<br />
the sayd Gosling and Maundry and all the rest of the sayd shipps<br />
Company of which this deponent was one) did obey the Commands of the sayd<br />
damerell and did labour very earnestly from the sayd 17th day of June<br />
last at which tyme they left the company of the other fower shipps to the eighteenth thereof to worke the sayd shipp futher into the Ice<br />
according to the sayd Damerells Commands, and in that tyme did worke her<br />
about fower or five myles further into the Ice towards shoare than the other<br />
fower shipps whose companyes they had left did goe, and did not the sayd<br />
Gosling and Maundry did not (soe farr as hee this deponent could or did<br />
see and observe) either by words or actions disobey the sayd damerells com=<br />
mands after the words predeposed of spoken before they forsooke the Company<br />
of the other fower shipps, nor encourage any others to doe soe, and the sayd shipp<br />
being wrought 4 or 5 myles further into the Ice as aforesayd, the sayd shipp<br />
was by the sayd damerells Command made fast to a peece of Ice, and after<br />
shee had soe continued fastned about twelve or fowerteene howers there<br />
others of the sayd shipp ''Owners Adventures'' Company then on the deck<br />
sayd, that if the other fower shipps which they had left did endeavour to worke<br />
in after him, then his shipp was soe much foreward as then theirs, and that<br />
hee would then worke farther in toward shoare, but if the sayd other fower<br />
shipps did worke out againe to Sea hee would doe the like, and did accordingly<br />
order some of the sayd shipps Company (but who by name hee now remembreth<br />
not) to goe up into the shrowdes to discover which way the heads of the said shipps<br />
dide heads of the said shipps<br />
