The xijth day of March 1655. [CENTRE HEADING]
Examined upon the sayd allegation.
2
Gabriel Smell of Lubeck Mariner ˹late˺ Steersman of the sayd shipp
the Hope aged thirty yeares or thereabouts a wittnes sworne ánd
examined saith as followeth.
7. To the first and second Articles of the sayd allegation, This deponent saith, that about the tyme
8. arlate there were laden on board the sayd shipp the Hope att Quinsburgh arlate
9. two and thirty bundles of hempe, one hundred of wainscott, one hundred
10. of pipe=boards, five hundred and one halfe of Clapboard, twelve hundred and
11. an halfe Keeven staves, keepe pipe staves and three hundred and
12. an half of Oares, all to be transported to London for severall English
13. merchants att a freight agreed by their Correspondents or factors
14. at Quinsbourgh, The premisses he came to know being Steersman of the sayd
15. shipp this voyage. And further he cannot depose.
16. To the 3rd. 4th and 5th Interrogatories he saith That the sayd shipp departed with her sayd lading
17. from the Pilloa soone after the beginning of September, and mett with excee=
18. ding bad weather and Crosse winds in the East sea which continued many dayes
19. and was often tempestuous so as in one storme the sayd shipp ˹tooke in much water˺ lost her foresayle
20. and was driven many leagues backward out of her Course, but came att last
21. to the Sondt of denmarke and there by reason of Cross winds stayd about
22. eight dayes, And then departed from thence. which he knoweth being Steirs=
23. man of the sayd shipp as aforesayd.
24. To the 6. 7. and 8th. articles. he saith that within two or three dayes after the Hopes
25. departure from the Sondt aforesayd she mett with a most feirce and violent storme
26. the X wind blowing from about the Northwest poynt, wherein she was in exceeding
27. great danger of perishing with he lading. the winds being so high that shee
28. could beare noe sayle but her maine sayle, which was let downe very low. the
29. sayd storme he saith began in an afternoone and continued to the next day
30. and drawe the sayd shipp neere the Holmes not far from Jutland, and there
31. the water being about twelve fatham two anchors were cast out but could not gett
32. noe fast hold so as the Master of the sayd shipp Martyn Barnhide and Company
33. for preserving the sayd shipp and her lading did necessarily resolve and did
34. cutt downe the mainmast which with the yards sayles and tackle were by the
35. violence of the wind borne overboard and were lost in the sea, And the next
36. day after midday the wind changing and coming about thhe Southwest poynt
37. The sayd Barnhide and Company for preservation of the sayd shipp and
38. her lading were constrayned to cutt one of their cables, and as they endeavoured
39. to XXXX ˹weigh˺ upp one of their anchors the same broke in peices, so as both the sayd
40. Anchors were lost. onely he saith a peice of one anchor was recovered. And
41. then the sayd shipp sett sayle for the Coast of Norway and was att last through much
42. danger conducted by a ffisherman (whom by chance she mett with) into Gusthaven
43. arlate. And he moreover saith that by credible report which hee then heard in
44. Norway many shipps perished in the sayd storme, and so in all probability the
45. Hope and her lading had done if she had not bene a very strong shipp or in case
46. the Master and Company of her had not used their utmost industry to preserve her, which
47. he saith they did as farr as was possible for men to doe. And saith allso that
48. the sayd mast was cutt and sayd sayles yards ropes and tackle lost, and the sayd anchor
49. and halfe and halfe cable likewise for preserving of the sayd shipp and lading.
50. the value of which things so lost he conceyveth to be about four hundred and
51. thirty dollers, and also beleiveth that the goods being so preserved ought to contribute
52. towards the sayd losse. And otherwise he cannot depose saving that in the sayd
53. storme the sayd shipp receyved great quantities of XX water into her.
