Transcription

continueing his Command to have the sayd shipp wrought further into
the Ice towards shoare the sayd Gosling Maundry and the rest of the
Company of the Owners Adventure did launch out their boates and worke
four or five myles or better further towards shoare then the other four shipps
did and then by command of the sayd Damerell fastened to the Ice againe and lay still severall houres
and then the Master comanding againe to worke her still further
into the Ice towards shoare one Mr Orvell (sic) who was by the Owners
of the Owners Adventure imployed to bee Overseer or husband
of her in their behalfe did goe up into
the mayne topp, and foretopp to see and disover how the Ice lay and
what possiblity there was of getting to harbour, and came downe and
declared openly upon the deck before this deponent and divers others the sayd shipps company that hee
did discover that there were glaces or openings in the Ice toward
shoare, and that hee did discover a cleerer sea beyond
the Ice towards shoare and therefore did verily beleeve that if the Company
would strive and endeavour soe to doe they might gett in to shoare
and thereupon the sayd Master renewed his Command, and commanded
the sayd Maundry Gosling and the rest of the Company of the owners
Adventure to manne their shallopps and endeavour the working of
the sayd shipp to shoare and some of the Company of the sayd shipp
thereupon began to make ready the shallopps in order to obey the
Masters command but the sayd Maundrie standing upon the
fforecastle of the Owners Adventure and speaking to the sayd damerell sayd publiquily in the presence
and hearing of this deponent and diverse others of the sayd shipps
Company thus or the like in effect, By God, for my part I will not
laye a hand to a roape to worke in and the divell take him for my
part that layes a hand to a roape to worke in, I would I were
on board of my brothers shipp (meaning the shipp whereof his
brother John Manudrie was Master and which was then alsoe upon the coast of Greeneland
upon a fishing designe) and or upon aboard of one of the fflemish
shipps (meaning fflemish shipps then alsoe upon the sayd Coast) and
then lett my wages be hanged I care not what becomes of that, by
which words and the other words before spoken by the sayd Gosling and Maundry
the sayd shipps Company were soe discouraged that they had noe mynde to worke
any further in toward shoare (nor did worke in any further toward shoare whereupon the sayd damerell sayd well I see
because you have not your brothers company and the Company of the
other shipps you have noe mynde to worke in and to make a voyage without
them, though I see or knowe noe reason why wee being two shipps (meaning
alsoe the Greyhound) may not worke in without them and make a good voyage
but since you will not obey my Commands, and worke in lett the losse of
the dammage light upon you (meaning the sayd Gosling and Maundrie) or the sayd
damerell spake words to that effect, and soone after the sayd shipp Owners Adventures
Company began to worke out of the Ice againe to sea but by whose order hee knoweth
not And further to these articles hee cannot depose./

To the 6th hee saith that after the shipps Owners Adventure and Greyhound were gott out
