suffered not any hard shipp by this depone … suffered not any hard shipp by this deponents mennes endeavouring<br />
to gett to Ducke Cove by his goeing on board the sayd ffleming, but<br />
what hardshipp they endured was because they could not gett<br />
to harbour and lost this oportunity of getting to harbour by their<br />
disobeying this deponents commands the tyme predeposed of, and could<br />
never afterward meete with the like oportunitie of getting to harbour during<br />
the whole voyage, and saith hee hath heard that the other foure<br />
shipps after they were by storme and foggie weather parted from<br />
the company of the ''Owners Adventure'' and ''Greyhound'', did gett<br />
into Greene Harbour and Port Nick and there killed whales and<br />
made a good voyage, the sayd and saith the disobedience of<br />
the sayd Gosling and Maundrie (and the rest of the Company of<br />
''Owners Adventure'' by their mutinous words, and persuasions aforesayd)<br />
was in this deponents judgement the same and only cause which<br />
the sayd shipp ''Owners Adventure'' lost oportunitie aforesayd of getting<br />
into Greene harbour where they might have killed whales<br />
and made a good voyage (as hee hath heard and verily beleeveth the<br />
other shipps did) And hee saith there was noe difference in words<br />
betwixt the sayd Gosling and Manndrie and this deponent as touching<br />
the voyage in question after the sayd 17th day of June other<br />
than what hee hath before declared and doth by virtue of his<br />
oath declare that the sayd Mutinous behaviour and language<br />
of the sayd Gosling and Maundry by them used on the 16th and 17th<br />
dayes of June were the cause of the voiage in question proved<br />
soe insuccesefull as it did, and saith that difference happened<br />
by the default of the sayd Gosling and Maundrie and not by any<br />
default of this deponent, this deponent using his utmost<br />
endeavour to have made the sayd voyage successfull and endeavouring<br />
as aforesayd after his coming out to sea to have gott into Ducke<br />
Cove and at the then place before expressed and further saving his foregoing deposition hee cannot asnwere/
To the last Interrogatorie hee saith hee hath fully answered the particulars<br />
thereof in his foregoing deposition to the sixth article of the libell<br />
