off in which time there happened some words of difference on board the ''Owners Adventure''<br />
betweene the sayd Gosling and the sayd damerell touching the workeing<br />
of the sayd shipp further in toward shoare, the beginning of which difference<br />
(by reason hee this deponent was busied about getting the boates in a<br />
readinesse according to Commands) hee did not heare, but coming on<br />
board while they soe continued at difference hee heard the sayd Gosling<br />
openlly upon the deck saye this or the like in effect I was told by Mr<br />
Batson and other Merchants that nothing should bee done in their<br />
voyage by you (meaning the sayd damerell) of any concernement without<br />
your adviseing first with mee and this is a matter that may concerne<br />
the shipp and our lives, and may prove the losse of the voyage and our<br />
lives alsoe, and if wee leave the Company of the other shipps (<br />
meaning the shipps of the sayd Pybus Welch Goulding and Child) and<br />
worke further into the Ice wee may come to repent it too late<br />
And the sayd damerell therto replyed and speakeing to the<br />
sayd Gosling sayd, you, I looke upon you as nothing,<br />
and as a simple fellowe, and a Pimpe, and other the like angrie<br />
and reproachfull speeches whereto the sayd Gosling replyed and<br />
sayd thus or the like in effect I come of as good parentage as you and<br />
am as good a man as you and am noe more a pimpe than you, and this<br />
deponent being busied about getting things in readinesse in order<br />
to be workeing the sayd shipp further in according to command, did<br />
not minde what other angrie speeches passed then betwixt the sayd<br />
damerell and Gosling: But saith the sayd Gosling notwithsatnding<br />
whatsoever speeches passed betweene them did of this deponents<br />
sight and knowledge helpe to worke the sayd shipp farther in towards<br />
shoare according to the sayd damerells Commands, and wrought there<br />
about, the space of about twelve howers as alsoe<br />
did the sayd Maundrie and the rest of the ''Owners Adventures''<br />
Company and in that space wrought her in further towards shoare<br />
about fower myles then the place where she left the sayd other fower<br />
shipps And further to these articles hee cannot depose./
To the 7th and 8th articles of the sayd allegation hee saith that the sayd<br />
Gosling and Maundry did worke hard and helpe to towe in the shallops where<br />
soever they could gett in their heads and disobeyed not the sayd damerells<br />
Command and having wrought the sayd shipp in those fower myles, the<br />
sayd Gosling Maundry and the rest of the shipps company by order<br />
of the sayd damerell there made the sayd shipp ''Owners Adventure'' fast<br />
to the Ice, and after shee had bin a while soe fastned the sayd damerell<br />
did upon the deck voluntarily saye in presence of this deponent and others of the sayd<br />
shipps Company that if the other fower shipps whose company hee<br />
had left did strive to worke in further towards shoare hee would then<br />
worke further in before them, and that if they wrought out to sea<br />
againe hee would worke out alsoe or to that effect and gave command<br />
