sayd Goulding and Welch and asked them whe … sayd Goulding and Welch and asked them whether they would worke<br />
further in or not, whereupon they replyed and sayd that they sawe noe<br />
probability of getting in any further, and that they would worke out to sea<br />
againe, and expect a better oportunitie or words to that effect whereto the sayd<br />
damerell replyed and sayd if they would not, yet hee would worke further<br />
in, or words to that effect, And thereupon continued his Commands to the<br />
Company of the ''Owners Adventure'' and ''Greyhound'' to make ready to worke<br />
further, whereupon the arlate Gosling having bin at rest in his Cabbin<br />
(it not being his watch) heraring a noyse came up and in a Civill manner<br />
asked of the sayd damerell whether hee meant to goe with the sayd shipp<br />
whereto the sayd damerell in an angrie manner replyed and sayd<br />
thus or the like in effect, what is that to you Jack an Apes, I looke not upon<br />
you as one to bee made acquainted, whereto the sayd Goslin in a Civill<br />
manner replyed and sayd thus or to the like effact, Sir I was told by the<br />
Marchants when I was hyred that nothing should bee done in the<br />
voyage, of great concernement without the advice of us your mates<br />
(meaning him selfe and the sayd Maundrie) and of the harpooneeres,<br />
and this is a matter of great concernement and may conserne<br />
the shipp and our lives, and may tend to the advance or preiudice<br />
of the voyage, therefore I pray you consider, for doubtlesse there are<br />
as able men in the other shipps (meaning the shipps of the sayd Welch<br />
Goulding Pybus and Child) as any of us and whoe would not bee backward<br />
to advance their voyage in what they may, and if wee leave their<br />
Company and come to any extremity wee may repent it too late<br />
Whereupon the sayd damerell, without any other provocation given<br />
him by the sayd Gosling then before is declared (soe farr as this<br />
deponent could or did observe) spake in an angrie manner to the sayd<br />
Gosling and sayd hee looked upon him, but as one of his Cabbin<br />
boyes, and called him pimpeing Rogue or words to that effect<br />
all which the sayd Gosling did beare with patience, and did not<br />
saye or doe any thing to the preiudice of the voyage in question, but<br />
both hee and the arlate Maundrie and the rest of the ''Owners Adventures''<br />
Company did helpe to towe and worke the sayd shipp further into<br />
the Ice towards shoare according to the sayd damerells Commands<br />
and did worke from that tyme on the 17th day of June aforesayd when<br />
they lost the company of the other fower shipps, to the eighteeneth day<br />
thereof, and in that tyme wrought her about fower myles further<br />
into the Ice towards shoare then the other shipps whose Company<br />
they had lost, And saith the words before mentioned passed bwtwixt<br />
the sayd Gosling and damerell upon the forecastle of the ''Owners''<br />
''Adventure'' publiquely in presence and hearing of this deponent and<br />
divers others of the ''Owners Adventures'' Company And further to<br />
these articles hee cannot depose./
To the 7th and 8th articles of the sayd allegation hee saith that of his this<br />
deponents sight and observation the arlate Gosling and Maundrie during all<br />
