Admiralty. Oyer and Terminer. 41.
13 _May_, 1617. Frances Clemence, of Wapping, mariner, aged 40, says that Henry Hudson, the master, and 8 persons more were put out of the Discovery into the shallop about 20 leagues from the place where they wintered, about 22d of June shall be 6 years in June next, as he heard from the rest of the company, for this examinate had his nails frozen off, and was very sick at the time. Henry Grene, William Wilson, John Thomas and Michael Pearse were slain on shore by the savages at Sir Dudley Digges Island, and Robert Ivett [Juet] died at sea after they were slain. Philip Staffe, the ship's carpenter, was one of them who were put into the shallop with the master and the rest; whether he is dead or not, he knows not. The master displaced some of the crew, and put others in their room, but there was no mutiny that he knew of. Henry Hudson was pinioned, when he was put into the shallop. (With other answers as in the previous examinations.) THE END |
