foreshrowds her misen toppmast, and cracked her missen mast, spoyled her
maine stay in two places, and broake one side of the said shipp Mary downe
to the water and rent her foresaile and maine topsaile, and spoyled her mainesaile
and very much damnified all the small rigging, and some of the Company of

good a Condition as shee was in before shee mett with the freeman, and was
runn aboard and spoyled by her in manner as is predeposed. And further

whereby shee hath been necessitated to stay to be repayred) have cleared upon
an employment to Newcastle and back to London with coales in the time of her
stay here about 60 li sterling to the Owners besides the benefitt of about 10 li sterling to the Master which
hee saith the said Master and owners have lost and are damnified by the meanes
aforesaid, Which hee knoweth being a person long accustomed to those voyage sand seeing and knowing the said shipp Mary to have bin hindred from such
the intended voyage by the disaster predeposed. And further cannot depose:-
