Transcription

To the 2 hee saith hee came to bee a wittnes in this cause being soe
required by Mr Batson, who well knew that this deponent was one of
the Company of the Owners Adventure the voyage in question and therefore
could not but knowe all or at least many passages touching the voyage in
question, and saith hee did not subscribe any such noate as is Interrogated
nor knoweth ought of any such noate or where it is and hath not receaved
his wages for the voyage in question save hee receaved a tickett for a moneths pay before hee went
out upon the voyage from Gravesend, as the rest of the Company
alsoe did, which moneths pay this respondents wife receaved (as hee beleeveth)
Mr Batson and hee expecteth to receave the rest thereof and saith hee is promised nothing for his testimony
nor expecteth any thing therefore./

To the 3 Interrogatorie hee saith that the Owners Adventure and Greyhound
were about the beginning of June 1656 in Company of the Interrate
Pybus his shipp, and were then in this deponents Judgment about sixe
leagues and better off of Bell Point, the harbour then bearing North East, and that
the sayd damerell did then command his Company of the Owners Adventure
to worke in toward harbour, whereto the sayd Gosling answered and sayd
openly upon the deck in presence and hearing of this deponent and others of
the Owners Adventures Company, if Pybus worke in wee will worke
in alsoe, if not what should wee goe for, whereupon the sayd damerell
answered and sayd well I will go on board of Pybus and see whether hee
will put in or noe, and soe accordingly went and there remayned about
an hower and a halfe, and then came againe on board his owne shipp Owners
Adventure and sayd that Pybus was not willing to worke further into
the Ice whereupon the sayd Pybus his shipp makeing out towards sea
the sayd damerell (on board his owne shipp Owners Adventure) did sayle
after him along by the edge of the Ice for divers leagues to see whether
they could meete with any glace or opening which would give them
better opportunity to gett into harbour, but finding none kept Company
togeather till they afterwards mett with the shipps of Golding Welch and
Child, and then they all sixe putt agiane into the Ice in Company in
manner predeposed, and were in this deponents Judgment at least a league
neerer shoare than then when the sayd damerell went on board the sayd Pybus
his shipp as aforesayd, and in greater probability to gett to shoare, the
Ice being in this deponents Judgment more glacy there toward shoare
than it was where damerell went on board of the sayd Pybus his ship
And further saving his foregoeing deposition hee cannot answere/

To the 4th Interrogatorie hee cannot answere/

To the 5th Interrogatorie hee saving his foregoeing deposition hee cannot answere
saving hee saith that the sayd sixe shipps were about twenty fower
howers or better a workeing that eight or tenn leagues
into the Ice that they soe as aforesayd wrought in in Company togeather
and saving hee saith the sayd Pybus Golding Welch and Childs
shipps did worke out to sea againe./

To the 6th, 7th, and 8th Interrogatories hee saith saving his foregoeing
deposition hee cannot more fully answere to these Interrogatories/

To the 9th Interrogatorie hee saith hee this deponent never knew
Pybus Welch Golding and Child before the voyage in question and therefore
knoweth not their abilities touching the fishing trade of Greeneland or
