the other shipps, in towing the sayd shipp further into the Ice and by such
their labour gott the sayd shipp about four myles further into the Ice
than the shipps of the sayd Goulding Pybus Welch and Childe went the
premisses hee deposeth being present and one of the sayd shipps company
and seeing and hearing the premisses soe sayd and done, and helpeing to towe the
sayd shipp and further to these articles he cannot depose.

To the 7th and eighth articles of the sayd allegation hee saith and
deposeth that of his this deponents sight and knowledge the arlate Maund[rey GUTTER]
and Gosling during all the sayd tyme the sayd shippe Owners Adventure was
workeing further into the Ice than where the other shipps aforesayd were, did
take great paines and helpe to to towe in the sayd shipp whose soever they [might GUTTER]
gett entrance for a shallops head, and did not at any tyme refuse to obey the
Commands of the arlate Damerell in working her into the Ice nor encourageing
any other of the sayd shipps company to disobey his commands or refuse
to work thereabout soe farr as this deponent could or did heare or observe,
and they and the Company having wrought the sayd ship further into the ice
by about four myles the the other shipps aforesayd were, the said Damerell
commanded the sayd shipp to bee fastned to the ice and there make a staye
which being done attending to his Command, the sayd shipp layd still there
about twelve howers and in the tyme she did soo laye the sayd Damerell
sawe some fish spoute among the Ice neere where the sayd shipp laye and
cryed out to the company a whale a whale and commanded the sayd
Maundrey and Gosling and the rest of the harpooneres to manne their shallops and make
after the sayd ffish which they did, and comming up with the sayd ffish
found them to be certain ffish called Jubartas, which are a fish the
English use not to fasten upon by reason of their swifte motion and for
that they are of smale profitt and more dangerous to deale with than
whales are; which the Company having discovered did not strike at
the sayd fish but returned aboard the sayd shipp and acquainted the
sayd Damerell what sorte of fish they were, whereupon the sayd Damerell
commanded the sayd harponeeres and this deponent and others of the
Company not to hawle up any of their shallops upon the ice nor
hoyst them up upon the shipp sides for that (as hee sayd) he thought the
other shipps (meaning the sayd shipps formerly in Company of the
Owners Adventure and from which she had gone further into the Ice)
were working out of the Ice to make to Sea, and willed some of
the Company to stepp up upon the shrowdes to see whether the heads of
the sayd other shipps laye to seawards or noe, and thereupon this deponent
and one John Engle went upon the shrowdes to take view and told the
sayd Damerell that they discovered the sayd shipps head to be to
sea ward, and their shallops a head toweing of them out, whereupon
the sayd Damerell came him selfe up into the shrowdes to view whether
that relation were true, and seeing the same to be truth
sayd thus or to the like effect I see now
