and helpe the other shipps to save preserve the sayd Pybus his shipp
which was ready to sinke by a hurt receaved by the Ice in her workeing
out to sea, and after kept them Company to ducke Cove where they
attempted to gaine harbour but could not, and thence came back in
Company about five leagues from the Ice at darke Cove towards Greene
land, and then foggie and stormie weather happening, the Owners Adventure
thereby lost the Company of the sayd fower shipps, and alsoe the Company
of the Greyhounds but mett the Greyhound afterwards upon the Coast of
Greenland in Company of a dutch shipp And saith the sayd
damerell did severall tymes after his coming out of the Ice as aforesayd Command his Company of the Owners
Adventure to attempt to gett in the Ice, and that the sayd Gosling

and saith that the sayd shipp Owners Adventure and Greyhounds Companyes by
reason they did not gett into harbour did suffer some extremities and
and some of them fell sick of the scurvie and some of the Greyhounds Company dyed thereof, but not
through any default of the sayd damerell soe farr as hee this deponent
could observe, who was willing and ready to endeavour to gaine a
harbour but was hindered as aforesayd by the sayd Goslings discourageing
the Company, and saith the sayd damerell did in deede meete with
some dutch shipps, and did goe on board of one of them, but saith
hee beeleveth the voyage was noe way hindered th thereby for that

Command about helpeing to kill the whale aforesayd, and the sayd
Gosling at such tymes as the Master could have put into the
Ice did as aforesayd saye it was impossible to gett in and noe shipps
could gett in that yeare, or to that effect and the sayd Gosling fell out
with the sayd damerell about a sea horse tooth which damerell demanded
of him and they called each other roague and knave and such other reproachfull
termes And further saving his foregoin deposition hee cannot answer

To the last Interrogatorie hee saith saving his foregoeing
