further in the sayd Companyes did notwithstanding the the words which had [?passed GUTTER]
as aforesayd betwixt the sayd Gosling and damerell obey the sayd damerells
Command and wrought the sayd shipps (in this deponents Judgement) about sixe or [?seaven GUTTER]
myles) further into the ice towards harbour then the other ffower London shipps [?did GUTTER]
worke, and there again by the Master Commands made the sayd shipps Owners
Adventure and Greyhound fast to the Ice againe, and after the sayd shipps had [?there GUTTER]
rested some certayne howers to refresh their Companyes the sayd damerell
did command them to be wrought further in toward shoare, but the sayd Gosling
and Maundrie upon the open deck of the Owners Adventure in presense of this deponent and divers others of the Owners Adventures Companye then replyed and sayd that the Ice was soe thick towards shoare
that it was impossible to worke further in and that the other fower London shipps [XXX GUTTER]
Company they had left were working out and that if they had soone soe [XXX XXXX] cause to worke further in they were as able and willing to advance their voyages as any the [XXXXX] by which meanes and the words [?by GUTTER]
spoken by the sayd Gosling, the Companyes of the sayd shipp were soo dif[XXXXX GUTTER]
that they stood still, not endeavouring to worke further in [?whereupon GUTTER]
the sayd damerell seeing their unwillingnesse to worke further in, [?desyred GUTTER]
and that they were nowe willing to worke out againe to sea as the other shipps did, [?hee GUTTER]
did thereupon consent and command that they should worke out to sea as the

men beside him selfe to come steere and assiste him) give chase to a Whale
(being as hee beleeveth the whale arlate) and after they had chased her some
howers, the sayd Parker fastned his Iron in her, and fastened his warpe
and the sayd humfreys soone after did the like, and the sayd Gosling [?alsoe GUTTER]
struck his Iron into her and fastened his warpe, but the whale moveing
exceeding swifte towed the sayd Goslings shallopp against [XX GUTTER]

the Ice soe that the sayd Gosling became thereby loose from her, and [XXX GUTTER]
being loose, hee and the company of his boate and alsoe the rest of the [?harponeeres GUTTER]
and their Companyes who were not fast to the whale, gave chase againe to [?the GUTTER]
sayd whale and seeing they could not gett to fasten their Irons in her [?by GUTTER]
reason of her swift motion, they all fastened their shallopps to the shallopps
of the sayd humphrys and Parker and who continued fast to her, [?thereby GUTTER]
to tyre her out with toweing them and with all severall tymes endeavoured to fasten Irons in her [?and GUTTER]
