Transcription

there were twenty shallopps more shee had such a quick motion that
they could not kill her and therefore they would towe her noe more
and asked this deponent why hee did not call to the sayd humfreys and
Parker to cut their warpes and lett her goe whereto this deponent answered
and sayd this or the like in effect if they continew fast twenty fower howers I will not call to
them to lett her loose, soe the fault of letting her loose may bee
imputed to mee, goe you and helpe to kill her and the sayd Gosling and
Mandrey thereupon sayd it was in vaine to goe, and soe did not goe,
to asiste thereabout whereupon the sayd humfrey seeing
the sayd Gosling and Maundrey and their boates crues came not againe to their
assistance the sayd humfrey first cut away his warpe, and
the sayd Parker after hee had strnghed a good while to hold her
(seeing the sayd Humfrey had alsoe forsaken him and cut his warpe
and left his hold of her) alsoe cut his warpe and soe lett the sayd
whale escape without killing, the premisses hee deposeth of his owne
sight and knowledge being Master
and on board while they were dine in manner aforesayd And
further cannot depose saving hee saith that by experience he knoweth
having used the ffishing trade to Greenelande for these 10 or 12 yeares last
past that those who goe thither to fish must passe through great quantities of
Ice and that when there is greatest quantitie of Ice there is usually most
whales in harbours and best advantage made of the ffishing trade and that
hee is well assured that there was noe more danger there of the Adventure
and Greyhound getting into shoare or into some harbour than this the voyage
in question than this deponent hath observed and knowne to bee in other yeares
wherein hee hath gone the sayd voyage./.

To the 8th and 9th hee saith that there were other shipps videlicet the sayd Pybus his
shipp and the sayd Welch his shipp and the sayd Goldings shipp and the sayd Childs
shipp in Company with the Owners Adventure and Greyhound when they first
put into the Ice and endeavoured to gett to some harbour or shoare which shipps
comming out of the Ice so doe as the Greyhound and Owners Adventure did,
did afterwards (as this deponent hath heard by the Masters of them) gott into
Greene harbour and Port Nick and fish there and make a very successfull
voyage And this deponent verily beleeveth and is perswaded in his conscience
that if the sayd Gosling and Maundrey and the rest of the Company of the Owners
Adventure would hve obeyed this deponents commands and wrought
further into the Ice when hee required them as aforesayd and when the sayd
shipps Owners Adventure and Greyhound were as aforesayd within about
five or sixe leagues of shoare which was on the seventeenth day of June 1656 they might very safely and well have gotten
into Greene harbour (being the place this deponent endeavoured to gett into)
many dayes before the sayd Pybus Welch Golding and Childs shipps did
and have made a very successefull voyage for the benefitt of their imployers
And further to these articles hee cannot depose/

To the 10th hee saith hee knoweth not what the arlate Batson Beane and
Golderne did spend in victualing and setting out the two vessells arlate but saith
