thereupon as is predeposed spake to the sa … thereupon as is predeposed spake to the sayd damerell and asked him whether<br />
hee intended to goe, and the sayd damerell replyed as aforesayd in an angrie<br />
manner and sayd what is that to you, I looke not upon you as one to bee made acquainted<br />
And the sayd Gosling answering as aforesayd that hee was told upon hyred<br />
the sayd damerell was to doe nothing of great concernement touching the voyage<br />
without advice of his Mates and the harponeeres and desyring him therefore to<br />
consider and to stay and take neighbours fare and not adventure further in than<br />
the sayd other shipps did whose masters and˺ companyes (hee beleeveth) were as desyred to<br />
advance their voyage as the sayd damerell and his Company were, and more as<br />
able men as they, whose company if hee left hee might perhapps (sic) repent to<br />
late or to that effect the sayd damerell as is predeposed thereupon replyed<br />
and spake to the sayd Gosling in an angrie manner and sayd I looke upon you but<br />
as the Cabbin boy and a simple fellowe, with which words the sayd Gosling being<br />
provoked replyed and sayd wee will goe noe further except there were better<br />
hope of getting to harbour, and the sayd damerell being therewith much<br />
displeased called the sayd Gosling pimpeing roague and other reproach=<br />
full words, wherewith the sayd Gosling being provoaked, did tell the sayd<br />
damerell that if it pleased God hee did not make a good voyage hee the<br />
sayd damerell might goe a pimpeing, or And to the rest of the sayd Interrogatorie<br />
hee answereth negatively for that hee well knoweth that notwithstanding<br />
the sayd words the sayd damerell still continueing his Command to worke<br />
the sayd shipp further into the Ice the sayd Gosling and also the Interrogate<br />
Maundrie did yeild obedience to the sayd damerells Command and did<br />
labour and helpe to worke the sayd shipp fower or five myles further<br />
into the Ice than the other fower shipps went, and did not (soe farrr as<br />
this deponent heard or observed) stirr up any of the sayd shipps company<br />
to disobey the sayd damerells Commands either then or at any other<br />
tyme neither did any of the sayd shipps company soe farr as this deponent<br />
heard or observed either then or at any other tyme disobey the sayd<br />
damerells Commands And further saving his foregoeing deposition<br />
hee cannot answere./
To the 5th hee was never at Greeneland before the voyage<br />
in question, and therefore cannot of certaine knowledge answere the<br />
contents of this Interrogatorie, but saith hee hath heard some seamen who have<br />
used the sayd voyage, and alsoe the sayd damerell himselfe sayd that<br />
some yeares they have had noe Ice in their passage to Greeneland,
To the 6th hee cannot answere knowing nothing whether the ''Owners Adventure''<br />
and ''Greyhound'' were designed to any particuler Port or harbour or left at liberty<br />
nor whether other English shipps were designed to particuler harbours, or not.
To the 7th hee saith that when the words and difference predeposed of happened<br />
betwixt the sayd Damerell and Gosling in manner aforesayd, the shipp<br />
''Owners Adventure'' was in this deponents Judgment at least tenn leagues<br />
from shoare, and hee verily beeeveth and is persuaded in his conscience<br />
(for that hee knoweth the sayd Gosling Maundry and shipps company<br />
did notwithstanding the words which passed betwixt the sayd Damerell<br />
and Gosling yeild obedience to the sayd damerells Command and<br />
worke the sayd shipp some myles further in, and indeed soe farr<br />
as they could gett her for Ice,) that the sayd shipp could not have bin<br />
gott into Port or harbour in Greeneland at that tyme or any tyme, and<br />
thathat tyme or any tyme, and<br />
