struck her and fastned to her and the rest of the harponeeres
made fast to his the sayd Parkers boate to tyre the whale
with toweing them, and after they had soe continued the chase about
sixe houres the sayd harponeers Gosling Manndery Humprey and Bowleing all cut their warpes from the sayd
Parkers boate, and gave over the chase and came aboard the owners
Adventure, and the Master askeing them why they gave over the chase
in regard Parker continued fast to her, they sayd it was impossible
to kill her in such stormie weather, and the master commanding them
to goe out againe to helpe the sayd Parker to kill the sayd whale
they all absolutely refused to goe, and sayd they would not goe, and
and did not goe, and the sayd Parker still continueing fast to her about
the space of an hower at length the whale came neere the shipp Owners
Adventure, and Parker fast to her, and the sayd Parker then called
to the sayd damerell and asked him what he should doe whether hee
should cutt loose or noe, And the sayd damerell replyed and sayd
doe what you will or to that effect, whereupon the sayd Parker cutt
off his warpe and left his Iron sticking in the whale and came
aboard the Owners Adventure, the premisses hee deposeth of his
sight and knowledge being aboard the Owners Adventure and steereing
her up and downe after the boates according as the whale moved, and further
hee cannot depose/

To the 7th hee saith that at the tyme the sayd Gosling soe
discouraged the Company of the Owners Adventure and Greyhound by
his sayeing as aforesayd if wee doe gett in wee may perhaps be
frozen up and it will bee a great hazard and a question whether ever
wee gett out againe alive, ot to that effect, the sayd shipps were in his
deponents Judgement within five or sixe leagues of shoare
and might in this deponents Judgement with as much
safety have gotten to shoare as they did get back to sea
againe and saith it was farr neerer to shoare then it
was back to sea, and this deponent verily beleeveth the sayd
shipps had passed as much danger in getting soe farr as they
did, as they were to passe if they had made to shoare, And further
to this article hee cannot depose/

To the 8th and 9th articles hee saith that the fower London shipps whereof
Pybus Golding Welch and Childe were Masters did were as is
predeposed in Company of the Owners Adventure and Greyhound when
they endeavoured to worke to shoare as aforesayd, And hee beleeveth
that after the Owners Adventure and Greyhound had lost their Company
at sea by ffoggie and stormie weather they the sayd fower shipps did light of an oportunity
to gett into harbour and did gett into harbour and fish
there, and soe hee beleeveth might the Owners Adventure and
Greyhound have done if the sayd Gosling had not by his carriage
aforesayd soe discouraged the company from working into shoare
when
