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