should doe whether he should cutt her loose or not and the sayd Master then commanding the sayd Gosling
Parker Maundrie humfreys and the rest of the harponeeres who had given
over the chase to manne their boates and goe to the assistance of the sayd Parker
they all stood still and did not goe, whereupon the Master sayd, I see there
is noe body will assiste, therefore doe what you will, and then the sayd Parker
alsoe cut loose and came aboard with his Crew alsoe, this hee deposeth of his
owne sight and knowledge being aboard the Owners Adventure during the
chase and seeing and hearing the premisses And saith hee believeth if the
sayd Gosling Maundrie and humfreys had not left off the chase of the
whale in manner aforesayd they might have killed her, and saith hee
the rather beleeveth it, for that hee heard the sayd humfreys in the Cooke
Roome of the Owners Adventure after his coming on board sayd in presence
of this deponent and his precontest Thomas Chauntrell and others that
after the sayd Maundrie and Gosling had with their boates given over the
chase, hee hawled up his boate and gave the whale a prick or two in
the tayle to make her carrie the faster that he might cutt her away
And further hee cannot depose./

To the 7th he saith that at such time as the sayd Maundrie spake
the words predeposed and thereby discouraged the shipps Company from
workeing further in toward shoare, the sayd shipps Owners Adventure
and Greyhound were in this deponents judgement about five or six leagues
off of Bell Point, And hee verily beleeveth that sayd shipps might
have gotten to shoare, being gotten soe neere, if they would have stayed
to watch an oportunitie of the opening of the Ice (as some tymes it
doth) with as little danger as they wrought out againe, And further
to this article he cannot depose for that hee hath gone a voyage to Greenland
when there hath bin little or noe Ice to hinder shipps from getting into Port

To the 8th and 9th hee saith that the arlate John Maundrie was with his shipp
in Company of the Owners Adventure and Greyhound and the other fower shipps
that wrought with them into the Ice, when they were all without at the edge
of the Ice, but parted with them there, and went further Northwards, and saith
hee hath since his Comming home from the voyage in question heard the
Masters of the fower shipps that did worke into the Ice with the Owners
Adventure and Greyhound saye that they did (after they had lost the
Company of the Owners Adventure and Greyhound at sea by foggie weather) gett
into harbour, and kill divers whales, videlicet the sayd Welch and Golding
betwixt them twelve whales, and the sayd Pybus eight whales, and the sayd
Childe five whales, and made all of them good voyages And soe he
verily beleeveth and is perswaded in conscience the Owners Adventure
and Greyhound might have done if the sayd Gosling and Maundrie
had not by their evell carriage and speeches and backwardnesse to
worke to harbour discouraged the sayd shipps
Company and so prevented the same And further saving his
exceedingly
preiudiced the sayd voyage as aforesayd And further hee cannot depose

To the 10th hee saith that hee knoweth not what it cost the arlate Batson Beane
and Golderne to victuall and fitt the sayd shipps for the voyage in question but beleeveth
it
