had much a doe to save the mayne sayle from being blowne away
And further to these articles hee cannot depose/

To the 10th article hee saith that hee this deponent being one of the Unities
Company and abord knoweth that shee notwithstanding the sayd
storme held on her course for Virginia and afterwards in such her
course mett with the arlate shipp the Mathew of London (the arlate
Mr ffox Commander of her, which shipp) as hee afterwards understood
when shee arrived at Antegoe was bound for Virginia but foreced into
Antegoe to preserve her selfe and ladeing) And saith that about two dayes
after the Unitie and shee soe mett at sea which was in the moneth of
November 1654 (the certaine day hee remembreth not) there happened
a very violent storme which continued for many dayes togeather
by meanes whereof the Unitie and her master and Company lost the company
of the Mathew and sawe her noe more till about the moneth of ffebruary
next after at Antego whether shee came for preservation from the stormie
weather and to fitt her selfe to goe thense for Virginia And further to this
article hee cannot depose./

To the 11th 12th 13th 14th and 15th articles hee saith that in the moneth of
November aforesayd and after they had lost the company of the Mathew the sayd Company with the shipp Unitie still holding
on their course for Virginia did discover a shipp at Sea (which as they after=
wards heard was called the hopefull Luke and as they by like report heard
was bound for Yorke River in Virginia, but perished upon the Coast of Bermu=
das by stormie weather) but by reason of the stormie weather which
still continued they could not come neere her, but lost her company soone
after they discovered her, And the Unitie and her company still continueing
their course for Virginia the storme still continued with great furie
and the sea wrought exceeding high by reason of the forcible winde
that blew; and there was alsoe much thunder and lightning and
much snowe and hayle and very tempestious weather in soe much that the
sea often brake in and ranne with great violense into the shipp Unitie
and staved some of her Caske wherein her fresh water and beere was
kept and spoiled a great part of her bread, and most of the shooes (sic) stock[ins GUTTER]
cloathes and bedds aboard provided for the use of the servants of the sayd Jefferies
and Lewellin and alsoe what goods the sayd Moulson had aboard for his
owne Accompt, and the storme continued with soe great violense
that the shipps Company and the servants or passengers expected every
moment that the shipp would sinke, and the Carpenter
or his mate and some others of the passengers and of the Mariners, came
up from betweene decks and sayd the shipp was sinkeing, and this
deponent well knoweth that the sayd shipp was soe bruised and shaken
with the sayd tempest that her forechaynes were washed away and part
of her sheathing, and her mayne chaynes and her bulke heads and
some of her false bonds and other bonds, and some of her standers gave way
and started and her mayne knoll gave way from the stemme, and other
of
