deponents knowledge being Master of the shipp the Adventure of hull and in Company
with the shipp the Owners Adventure of which Thomas damerell was Master
and with the shipp whereof one Mr Welch was Master, the shipp Owners Adventure
was in the Moneth of June and about the sixth day as hee conceiveth within
about three or fower leagues of Bell Point, the Port then bearing north
East of the sayd shipp as hee remembreth, And saith the sayd shipp being
there, Thomas damerell the Master of her came on board this deponents
shipp to advise and did advise with this deponent what was fitt to bee
done in order to get into harbour and this deponent told him that
hee did not thinke it safe to staye there with his this deponents shipp
but was resolved to gett on the outside of the Ice and goe more to
the southwards expecting to gett a better oportunitie of getting into
some harbour there, and this deponents shipp being under sayle
stood off from Bell Pointwards toward sea, and the sayd damerell
continued on board this deponents shipp for some tyme (but how
long hee remembreth not) before hee the sayd damerell went on board
his owne shipp againe, during which tyme of the sayd damerells
soe staying on board this deponents shipp the arlate Maundrey and Gosling
and the rest of the Owners Adventures Company
followed this deponents shipp with the Owners Adventure but how many leagues they soe
followed before the sayd damerell went aboard her againe hee remembreth
not, And further hee cannot to this article depose/
To the 4th article hee saith that after the sayd damerell was gone on
board the Owners Adventure whereof thee was master hee with his shipp and the Pinke aforesayd kept Company
with this deponent and three other English shipps, whereof Mr Golding Mr Welch
and Mr Child were Masters till the fifteenth day of June last, and upon that
day the Owners Adventure and the sayd Pinke and this deponents shipp and the other
three shipps all wrought into the Ice in Company , and wrought
in, about nyne leagues (in this deponents Judgment) in the space of about
twenty fower houwers, and then the Ice proveing very thick hindered them from
goeing any further in, and the Owners Adventure and the sayd Pinke and
Welch and Goldings shipp lay board and board one of an other and
fastened to one peece of Ice , and this deponent caused his shipp to bee
fastned to an other peece of Ice about a myle and a halfe distant of
the one side from the Owners Adventure and the sayd other shipps And Child made fast to an other peece of Ice by himselfe And saith
by reason hee lay at such a distance hee cannot depose any thing touching
what words passed or were spoken by the sayd damerell, Goulding or any other And
further to this article hee cannot depose saving hee saith that hee knoweth
that this deponent and the sayd Goulding Welch and Child did dissiste
any endeavour to gett further into the Ice towards harbour but did make
out to sea againe, there being then in this deponents Judgment noe probability
of getting there into harbour by reason of the thicknesse of the Ice
towards
