Transcription

tonnage and quantitie of oyle and finns brought home the voyage in question
but is neither promised nor expecteth any reward for his testimonie./

To the 3 Interrogatorie hee saith that about the second of June last the shipp the Owners
Adventure lay about sixe or seaven leagues off Bell point, and the harbour did
then beare North East of the sayd shipp and saith the sayd Gosling and Maundry
nor any other of the sayd shipps Company did not then any waies move or
perswade this deponent to attempt there the putting into harbour, neither was there
any probability there of getting into harbour in the Judgment of this deponent and
of the Interrogate Mr Pibus, and Mr Welch two other Masters of shipps
who were as they sayd positively designed for Bell sound and desyrous to have gone thither if they could have
seene any probability thereof, and this deponent whilst the Owners Adventure
and the sayd Pybus and Welch their shipps laye there went on board the sayd Pybus
his shipp, as alsoe the sayd Welch did, and there they the sayd Pybus and Welch and
this respondent did consult togeather what was best to bee done and whether
there were any probability to get in there to Bell sound and upon such
their consultation the sayd Pybus and Welch and this deponent having Considered
maturely thereupon, did thinke it more convenient to put to sea againe
and plye more to the Southwards of the Ice, expecting there to meete
better opportunitie of gaining shoare, and thereupon the sayd Pybus his
shipp put out to sea and this deponent and the sayd Welch continued aboard
her haveing each of them a shallopp fastned to her, and the sayd Welches shipp
and the Owners Adventure, and Greyhound seeing the sayd Pybus his shipp
make out to sea, did sayle out with her and after the sayd Pybus his
shipp had sayled about sixe or eight leagues hee this deponent
tooke his shallopp and went aboard his shipp the Owners Adventure, and the sayd
Welch then alsoe tooke his shallopp and went aboard his shipp, And hee
doth by virtue of his oath declare that upon the seaventeenth day of June
last when the sayd Maundrey and Gosling did in manner predeposed
resiste this deponents commands and by their mutinous carriage and speech
discourage the rest of the Company of the Owners Adventure from
workeing further into the Ice as this deponent commanded, the sayd shipp
was then as neere Bell Point
(it then bearing East and by south of the sayd shipp) as when this deponent
went on board the sayd Pybus his shipp as aforesayd when Bell Point
boare North East as aforesayd, and saith the sayd Gosling and Maundris muti=
nous carriage and speeches were the cause why the Company of the sayd shipp
were soe discouraged that they did not worke the sayd shipp further in to
shoare as this deponent commanded, which if they had done this deponent
verily beleeveth and is perswaded in his conscience that they might then with
lesse difficulty and danger either have gained Bell Sound, (or Greene
harbour which had bin as good a place) as they could have gained Bell sound
at such tyme as this deponent went aboard the sayd Pibus shipp when Bell
Point boare North East as aforesayd; And further hee cannot answere/

To the 4th hee saith there was a writing or order in writing given by the
sayd Batson and others Imployers of the Owners Adventure to this deponent
whereby they left the whole mannagement of the voyage in question to
this deponent and to his Judgment, but withall orders this deponent (soe often
as hee thought fitt) to advise with the sayd Gosling and Maundry and the harponeeres
