their retourne to London from the sayd voyage saye, that every of sayd
shipps after they soe lost the Company of the Owners Adventure and
Greyhound did gett into harbour and kill whales./

To the 12th hee saith hee hath knowne the arlate Maundrie and Gosling
only during the voyage in question, during which they did behave them=
selves like honest sober persons and like able seamen, and did worke
and faithfully discharge their duties the sayd voyage, although some difference
in words happened betwixt the sayd Damerell and Gosling in manner predeposed,
And further hee cannot depose, saveing hee saith hee hath heard that the
sayd Maundry and Gosling have used the Greeneland trade divers yeares
and borne office in severall shipps and behaved them selves well and
honestly in their places./

To the 13th hee saith that hee well knoweth that the arlate Maundrie and
Gosling and this deponent and others of the Company of the Owners Adven=
ture did pursue the whale in this article mentioned, eight or tenn howers
togeather, the sayd Gosling and one Richard Parker the Boatswaine of the
Owners Adventure and William humphrey having as harponeeres stricken the sayd whale
and fastned their warps, and the sayd whale notwithstanding ranne soe
fast into a growne Sea and towed the boates who pursued her soe
fast, that they were in danger to bee cast away by and to sheere under
water by the swiftenesse of the whales motion, which was soe speedy
that the shipp owners Adventure had much a doe with the helpe of a fresh
gale of winde to followe the shallopps or boates soe fast as the whale
towed or runne with them, And hee saith that after the sayd shipps
Company had soe longe persued the sayd whale
and the sayd Goslings harpeing
Iron breakeing out of the whale and the sayd Gosling having come
about along side and not being able to fasten his harpeing Iron againe did take holde of other shallops
and helpe them to hinder the whales motion, but all proveing ineffectual
to the takeing of her by reason of the growne Sea and the swiftnesse of the whale in question the sayd damerell
seeing noe hopes of takeing the sayd whale, did call to the sayd Richard
Parker and bidd him cut his warpe (which still continued fast to the whale) and come on board, And this deponent being one who
rowed in the sayd Maundeys shallop or boate
and helped to pursue the sayd whale, thereby well knoweth that the
sayd Gosling Maundry and the rest of the sayd shipps Company who
pursued the sayd whale did as much as possibly could bee done
to kill the sayd whale, and did not in any thing disobey the
Command of the sayd Damerell touching the pursuite and chase
of her soe farr as this deponent could and did observe, And further
saving his foregoeing deposition hee cannot depose/

To the 14th hee saith hee knoweth the arlate Reynold, Chantrey
Ashmore, Kirton and fford and saith they were all persons to be employed
