Maundry and the rest of the sayd shipps co … Maundry and the rest of the sayd shipps company did (with<br />
much unwillingnesse) worke the sayd shipp about seven or eight<br />
myles further into the Ice than the other fewer shipps did worke, and<br />
within about five or six leagues of the shoare, and this deponent<br />
commanding them still to worke on towards shoare, the sayd<br />
Maundrie then spake to this deponent upon the deck before the company<br />
of the sayd shipp and sayd wee will go noe farther, whether would<br />
you have us to goe I will bee hanged if any shipp sail into here any<br />
harbour in Greeneland this yeare, or if they did they will never<br />
gett out and the devell take him that layes his helpeing hand<br />
to worke in, but to worke out to Sea againe wee are willing,<br />
and this deponent observing and seeing that the shipps company<br />
were by the sayd Gosling and Maundries speeches distracted from<br />
workeing further in and were unwilling to work further in, hee this<br />
deponent commanded the company that if they would<br />
not worke her further in they should not lett her drive, but make<br />
her fast to the Ice, which they did, and soe the sayd shipp continued<br />
there fast to the Ice till the seventeenth day of the sayd month of June<br />
and then this deponent commanded them againe to worke further in<br />
towards shoare and the sayd Maundrey replyed the in behalfe of<br />
him selfe and the sayd shipps company and sayd thus or the like, in effect<br />
if the other shipps (meaning the sayd Pybus Welch Golding and<br />
Childs shipps whose company they had left on the sixteenth day<br />
of the sayd month) did worke in then they would worke further in,<br />
but if these shipps wrought out to sea they would worke out alsoe,<br />
whereto this deponent answered and sayd this or the like in effect<br />
what have I to do to bee regulated by other shipps actions, they<br />
are designed for Bell Sound and noe other place, but I am at<br />
liberty to goe to any harbour where I can gett in and if I cannot<br />
gett Bell Sound yet I doubt not but to gett into Greene Habour<br />
but since I see you are resolved only to act as you see other shipps<br />
doe, turne the shipp about and worke back to them, which they did,<br />
and this deponent being gott to sea in company of the said fewer<br />
shipps hee this deponent did saye thus or in the like effect that in regard his Company<br />
would not bee ruled by him to worke in, as hee commanded them,<br />
hee was glad hee had recovered the company of those shipps againe,<br />
that hee might bee in a possibility in their company to do some=<br />
thing which might advance the sayd voyage, since hee sawe his sayd<br />
shipps company would doe nothing when they were alone, and out<br />
of their company, And further saving his foregoing deposition hee<br />
cannot answere otherwise than negatively./
To the nynth hee saith hee well knoweth that the sayd Pybus Welch<br />
Childe and Golding are able seamen and well experienced in the<br />
Greeneland ffishing and well understand that imployment, And to thee<br />
rest of the Interrogatories hee cannot answere otherwise than negatively<br />
not otherwise than negatively<br />
