hee alsoe did helpe to worke her in the sixe or seven myles
and there the Company of the sayd shipps Owners Adventure and
Greyhound complayneing that they were wearied with workeing the sayd
damerell seeing their unwillingnesse did give them leave to make fast to the ice againe and there they laye about twelve
howers to refresh themselves, and then the sayd damerell againe
Commanded the sayd shipps Companyes to manne their boates
againe and worke the sayd shipps further in, and thereupon the
sayd Gosling upon the open deck in presence of this deponent and divers others of the Owners Adventures Company sayd if wee doe gett in
wee may perhapps bee frosen up, and it will be a great hazard
and a question whether ever more gett out againe alive, or words
to that effect, whereupon the sayd shipps Company were soe
discouraged that they had noe desyre to worke in any further
toward harbour and did not assist to work further in savinge get this deponent and divers some others (whereof
the sayd Gosling Maundrey and humfreys were none) did man
some boates and work a little further toward the right hand to a glace
or opening in the Ice which they espied, and being gotten thither
and seeing that the sayd glace did affoard a passage back toward
seaward one Mathew Bowling who was in one of the boates called
out to the rest of the boates Crewes and sayd to this effect come
come, this glace will afford us a way to sea againe, and therefore
lett us make to seaward, and the shipps (meaning the Owners Adventure and
Greyhound) will follow, whereupon the sayd Bowling and his Boates
Crew turneing about to Seaward the rest of the boates followed
him and the shipps followed the boates the sayd Humfreys Gosling and Maundrie being on board the Owners Adventure but whether the sayd Bowling
did the same without the order or Command of the Master and
Contrarie to his likeing or by whose order hee did it or whether it was concluded upon on board
the shipps by the Master and his Mates and the sayd Humfreys and others aboard
to worke back to sea he knoweth not, for that he was in one of the boates
and heard not what further passed on board after the sayd Gosling
spake the words last predeposed of and saith that
the words spoken by the sayd Gosling were a great discouragement
to the Company and a hinderence to the success of the voyage in
question as hee beleeveth And further saving his following deposition
hee cannot depose./

To the 6th article of the libell hee saith that after the sayd two
shipps Owners Adventure and Greyhound came out to sea againe they
lost the Company of the sayd ffower London shipps through foggie
, and stormy weather, and after they had lost their Company the
sayd two shipps Owners Adventure and Greyhounds Companyes haveing
espied a whale at sea the sayd damerell Commanded the arlate Maundrey
Gosling humfreys and the other harpooners of both shipps to mann their boates
and give chase to the sayd Whale, and accordingly the sayd Gosling Maundrey
humfreys [X]aud and Bowling and one Parker all harpooners with every of
them their boates Crew did chase the sayd whale, and the sayd Parker first
struck
