what the reason was which the sayd damerell did not attempt to goe into
harbour when hee was soe neere Bell Point./

To the 4th hee cannot answere not knowung nor having heard of any

To the 5th 6th 7th and 8th hee saith the sayd damerell after hee came from on board the sayd Pybus
his shipp did keepe company with the foresayd fower London shipps untill such tyme
as they all wrought into the Ice togeather in manner predeposed, which was in the moneth
of June last, but upon what day hee remembreth not for that hee kept noe Journal

then came on board the Owners Adventure and Commanded her Company to make
ready their shallopps and to worke her further in towards harbour or to that effect
and thereupon the sayd Gosling and Maundry spake the words predeposed or or
other words to that effect, yet did afterwards both of them helpe to worke in fower or five
myles further towards shoare, and then the sayd damerell still
continueing his Command to worke further in, the sayd Maundrie thereupon spake
the other words predeposed, whereat the Company were soe discouraged that they
endeavoured to worke noe further in, but soone after turned her about and
wrought her out to sea againe, And further saving his foregoeing deposition
hee cannot depose saving hee saith that the other fower shipps predeposed of did
begin to worke out to Sea before the Owners Adventure began to worke to sea
and did all fower of them worke out to sea, and were all in Company of the Owners
Adventure at Sea afterwards, till such tyme as by foggie and stormie weather they lost
her company./

did assiste the other three London shipps in cleering the sayd Pybus his shipp of the
