there were twenty shallopps more shee had … there were twenty shallopps more shee had such a quick motion that<br />
they could not kill her and therefore they would towe her noe more<br />
and asked this deponent why hee did not call to the sayd humfreys and<br />
Parker to cut their warpes and lett her goe whereto this deponent answered<br />
and sayd this or the like in effect if they continew fast twenty fower howers I will not call to<br />
them to lett her loose, soe the fault of letting her loose may bee<br />
imputed to mee, goe you and helpe to kill her and the sayd Gosling and<br />
Mandrey thereupon sayd it was in vaine to goe, and soe did not goe,<br />
to asiste thereabout whereupon the sayd humfrey seeing<br />
the sayd Gosling and Maundrey and their boates crues came not againe to their<br />
assistance the sayd humfrey first cut away his warpe, and<br />
the sayd Parker after hee had strnghed a good while to hold her<br />
(seeing the sayd Humfrey had alsoe forsaken him and cut his warpe<br />
and left his hold of her) alsoe cut his warpe and soe lett the sayd<br />
whale escape without killing, the premisses hee deposeth of his owne<br />
sight and knowledge being Master<br />
and on board while they were dine in manner aforesayd And<br />
further cannot depose saving hee saith that by experience he knoweth<br />
having used the ffishing trade to Greenelande for these 10 or 12 yeares last<br />
past that those who goe thither to fish must passe through great quantities of<br />
Ice and that when there is greatest quantitie of Ice there is usually most<br />
whales in harbours and best advantage made of the ffishing trade and that<br />
hee is well assured that there was noe more danger there of the ''Adventure''<br />
and ''Greyhound'' getting into shoare or into some harbour than this the voyage<br />
in question than this deponent hath observed and knowne to bee in other yeares<br />
wherein hee hath gone the sayd voyage./.
To the 8th and 9th hee saith that there were other shipps videlicet the sayd Pybus his<br />
shipp and the sayd Welch his shipp and the sayd Goldings shipp and the sayd Childs<br />
shipp in Company with the ''Owners Adventure'' and ''Greyhound'' when they first<br />
put into the Ice and endeavoured to gett to some harbour or shoare which shipps<br />
comming out of the Ice so doe as the ''Greyhound'' and ''Owners Adventure'' did,<br />
did afterwards (as this deponent hath heard by the Masters of them) gott into<br />
Greene harbour and Port Nick and fish there and make a very successfull<br />
voyage And this deponent verily beleeveth and is perswaded in his conscience<br />
that if the sayd Gosling and Maundrey and the rest of the Company of the ''Owners<br />
Adventure'' would hve obeyed this deponents commands and wrought<br />
further into the Ice when hee required them as aforesayd and when the sayd<br />
shipps ''Owners Adventure'' and ''Greyhound'' were as aforesayd within about<br />
five or sixe leagues of shoare which was on the seventeenth day of June 1656 they might very safely and well have gotten<br />
into Greene harbour (being the place this deponent endeavoured to gett into)<br />
many dayes before the sayd Pybus Welch Golding and Childs shipps did<br />
and have made a very successefull voyage for the benefitt of their imployers<br />
And further to these articles hee cannot depose/
To the 10th hee saith hee knoweth not what the arlate Batson Beane and<br />
Golderne did spend in victualing and setting out the two vessells arlate but saith<br />
byo vessells arlate but saith<br />
