Transcription

To the first article of the sayd allegation hee saith and deposeth that hee this
deponent being a Merchant and then resideing at Scamderoone did in the moneth
of October 1654 shipp him selfe in the arlate shipp hopewell to come and did come a passenger in her
from thence to London and by that meanes well knew the sayd shipp during the
moneths of October November and december arlate 1654 and knoweth during the sayd
tyme shee was a stronge tight and firme vessell and every way fitt to receave
and carry Merchants goods and soe continued till her arrivall at London and soe this deponent coming a passenger in her well observed
her to bee And further to this article hee cannot depose saving his following deposition/

To the second and third articles of the sayd allegation hee saith the sayd shipp hopewell
tooke in goods at Scanderoone arlate to be thence transported to London and saith
that hee this deponent comming a passenger in the sayd shipp to London did see the
bulke of the sayd shipp broken and thereby perceived that the Merchandize stowed
in her were well and carefully stowed upon good fustickwood and matts and that divers
barrell staves were layed betweene the ballast and the goods the better to preserve
them from damage and did well observe that the sayd fustick wood
which laye under the goods was drye and in good condition And hee alsoe saith that
the sayd shipp in her passage betweene Scanderoone and London in the moneth of
January 1654 off of Callary being in the latitude of 38 degrees and a halfe or thereabouts
and the winde from West North West mett with a very violent storme which
by reason of the violence thereof caused the Master and company of the sayd shipp
for the better preservation of the sayd shipp and goods and her Companyes
lives to beare out only a peece of her mizen sayle for the space of about
three dayes togeather, in which tyme the sayd shipp (though very tight in
her hull) receaved much water by reason of the saes breaking over her
divers tymes, to the hreat hazard and danger both of the sayd shipp and goods and
the mens lives in her, And hee further saith that the sayd shipp in her
sayd passage did about the thirteenth of Aprill 1655 off of Scielley in
the latitude of abput 49 degrees the winde then South East and by South, meete with
an other very violent storme which lasted about 24 howers with that
extreame violence that by the seas often breakeing over the decks the sayd
shipps waste was lkmost filled with water soe that there
was little hopes of preserving the sayd shipp and goods or the companyes
lives, yet hee saith that hee well knoweth that the hull of the sayd shipp
continued still very tight and stanch, and what water the shipp receaved
was only from her upper deck by reason of the seas workeing in upon
it and thereby knoweth that whatsoever damage happened to the ladeing
of the sayd shipp soe happened only through the violence of the sayd stormes
and not throuh any want of goods stowage or defect of the sayd shipp
And further hee cannot depose./

To the last hee saith his foregoeing deposition is true/

Repeated before doctor Clarke/
