condition upon a place called the Middle Ground, and soe farr sunck
that there was foure inches water upon her upper deck, and having
neither man, boy, dogg or ratt on board her, whereupon the
said Hampson and other persons aforesaid with their companies fell to

after much labour and paines and hazard both of their lives and vessells
they gott the said shipp the Hope and her lading up, and

and Company had bin at the said place where the
said shipp hope and lading soe lay, and had there come to an anchor
and had put some of their company aboard her, and endeavoured to their
utmost to save her and her lading, and had thereby much endangered
their lives, but could effect nothing therein, and were forced to come
away and leave her, which this deponent heard them soe declare and
report to the said fishermen. And otherwise hee cannot depose.
