his hands to helpe to worke in, but to worke out to sea againe
hee sayd hee and the Company were willing for that the rest of the shipps meaning
the sayd Goldings, Welches and Pybus and Childs shipps which went the
day before in this Company did not worke nor had wrought in soe
farr as they but were working out againe to Sea, and
therefore they would worke out alsoe and did actually refuse to worke in any further towards shoare whereupon the whole Company of
the sayd shipp being (as appeared by them) willinge to worke out to
Sea again than to worke further towards shoare and not helping
and assisting to worke towards the shoare though this deponent commanded them soe to doe this deponent was con=
streyned (by such the sayd Gosling and Maundrey their mutinous
perswasions and seduceing the Company from their obedience to
this deponents Commands of workeing in towards the shoare) to consent
and give Commande to worke the sayd shipps Owners Adventure and
Greyhound out of the Ice to Sea againe and loose his oportunitie of
gaineing the shoare, which hee is well assured and which verily beleeveth
and is perswaded in his conscience, might with some labour and
trouble have bin with safety gained and with as much safety as to worke out to sea againe if the sayd Gosling and Maundrey
had not soe discouraged and by their mutinous speeches perswaded the
sayd shipps Company to not to attempt the same, And if the sayd
shipps Company would have obeyed this deponents Commands and
wrought the sayd shipps to Shoare (as they might well have done)
this deponent is fully convinced in conscience and verily beleeveth
that the voyage in question would have proved very successful
and advantagious to the Merchant imployers of the sayd shipps
whereas by the meanes aforesayd the sayd voyage was almost [XXX GUTTER]
overthrowne, and proved very disadvantagious to the Imployers, there
being only two whales killed after the sayd shipps gott to sea againe
which for that they could not gett on shoare to boyle then they were
faine to being home in bloober togeather with the blubber of
about twenty butts of blubber of sea horses all which when it was
whales boyled at Blackwell after the returne home of the sayd shipps
from the sayd voyage accounted to eighteene Tonnes of oyle or
thereabouts And saith that after the sayd two shipps Owners Adventure
and Greyhound had worked them selves out of the Ice and were at sea
againe (beside the two whales killed as aforesayd) the arlate
humfreys and one Richard Parker Boatswaine of the Owners Adventure
being both of these alsoe harpooneres did strike a whale
and fastned their warpes to her, and the sayd Manndry and Gosling
and Mathew Bowling and one Richard Kerke helpe to towe at the sterne of the sayd hum=
freys and Parkers shallops whose warpes were fastned to her, and
after they had towed about eight or tenne howers the sayd Gosling
Maundrey and their boates crues gave over toweing and came on board the Owners
Adventure leaving leaving the sayd humfreys and Parker still fast to
the sayd whale and endeavouring still to hold her and the other two shallops XXXing up and downe after the whale XXXXX and this deponent
asking the sayd Maundrye and Gosling why they came away in regards
they sawe that the sayd Parker and humfrey still continued their hold
and the other two boates they answered and sayd they would towe her noe more for if
