voyages in, and hee this deponent hath heard his sayd father saye that in
these voyages the sayd Jeggles did alsoe behave him selfe like an able sea man
and a man fitt to bee Master and Commander of a ship thesays Jeggles
was and is Commonly accompted and reputed, and (as hee hath heard by
divers anachient and expert seamen, and beleeveth) hath bin soe reputed for many
yeares last past And further to this article hee cannot depose/

To the second article hee saith hee knoweth the Port of Porto Port in Portugall
and saith it is not only a barrd port, but hath alsoe on the larboard side getting
in, severall rocks, which occasion much danger to shipps in goeing ?in
any strong streame of freshwater come, (as some tymes it doth) downe ?the
harbour or Port, and alsoe by reason that the barr doth (as hee hath heard
Pyllotts who are well acquainted therewith saye) often shifte and alter from
one side to an other, And hee saith by reason of the danger of the sayd barr
the sayd Port is to be entered but at some tymes as about three quarter(s)
flood, and then usually with the helpe of some Pylott either belonging tp
Porto Port, or liveing neere, and being well acquainted with the sayd
Port, And hee as hee hath credibly heard noe shipps XXXXgh belonging
to that place doe passe into that Port without a Pyllott by the reason of
the danger(s) aforesayd And further hee cannot depose/

To the 3 article of the sayd allegation hee saith for that hee was one of the
Company of the shipp, whereof the sayd Jeggles was Master the voyage
in question hee knoweth that the sayd shipp came first neere to Porto Port
About the 12th of twelfth of November 1654 and in the morning about two or
three aXX Clock, and that it was then very darke, and the winde Eastwards
and a very scant winde, by reason of which darkenesse of the morning
and scantnesse of the winde the arlate Jeggles did over shoot the
port of Porto Port and went to the Southwards of it about three leagues,
the premisses hee the better knoweth for that hee this deponent and XXXX
this deponents father who was Masters Mate, and the Boatswaine and William
Jeggles and others of the shipps company were then upon the Watch And
further to these articles hee cannot depose/

To the 4th and 5th and 6th hee saith that the next day being (as hee remembreth)
The 13th of November XXXX 1654 the sayd Jeggles came againe with his shipp
Before Porto Port, and acccording as the custome here is, shott off two or
three gunnes to give notice for a Pylott to come aboard and carrie in the sayd
shipp, but none coming, and the flood being spent, and night approaching
and it being likely to prove stormie weather, the sayd Jeggles to
prevent the danger of being driven on grounds and the better to ?serve
the shipp and goods and his and his companyes lives, did cause the sayd
shipp to be putt off from shoare to Sea, And accordingly XXX that
night the weather proceded very stormy and the winde blew very
stronge to shoare, soe that the sayd shipp if shee had continued all
night neere Porto Port and had not stood off to sea had without doubt
perished in the sea togeather with her XXX ladeing and Company And
