Transcription

To the second article of the sayd libell hee saith that within the sayd tyme
predeposed videlicet in the moneth of July last and before the goeing out
of the sayd shipp on the voyage in question the sayd henry Southwood wanting
a pilott for the piloting and conducting the sayd shipp in her sayd voyage the
arlate Richard [?ffare] did in the sayd moneth of July shipp him selfe on board
the sayd shipp to serve as pilott of her for the sayd voyage and did take upon him
the office of Pilott of the sayd shipp the sayd voyage and had the charge of the sayd shipp
and her ladeing as Pilott of the sayd shipp the sayd voyage committed to him and tooke the same
upon him from the tyme of the sayd shipps departure from Gravesend, but what
wages the sayd henry Southwood and Richard ffare agreed for hee knoweth
not, hee not being present at the contract betweene them thereabout, but hath heard
that the sayd ffare was to have Tenn pounds for piloting the sayd shipp to druntam
aforesayd and from thence back to the downes and hath alsoe heard that the sayd ffare receaved forty
shillings of the sayd Southwood before the sayd voyage began in part of the tenn pounds
soe agreed upon betweene them And further to this article he cannot depose saving
his subsequent deposition./

To the third hee saith hee hath heard the sayd Richard ffare saye himselfe
that hee was thick of hearing, and knoweth the sayd ffare is an aged man and
wanteth one of his eyes and further saving his subsequent deposition to
which hee referreth hee cannot depose./

To the 4th 5th and 6th articles of the sayd libell hee saith That during the whole
voyage in question the sayd Richard ffare did plainely appeare to be very
ignorant and unskillfull in the knowledge of sand which were to be passed
by and of the Coasts of countries to be necessarily passed by in the sayd
voyage and to be a man very insufficient to take upon him the office of
pilotting and conducting the sayd shipp the sayd voyage, and soe much was
generally observed by this deponent and the rest of the sayd shipps company
upon sundrie occasions in the sayd voyage, And in perticular this deponent
saith that in the sayd shipps passage from the River of Thames shee coming
among the sands in the Swi[?nn] arlate the sayd Richard ffare as
appeared buy his actions was at a stand and knew not where hee was, or what
course to steere the sayd shipp, to avoide the danger of running the sayd
shipp upon the sayd sands, in soe much that the Master and Company of the sayd
shipp well seeing the sayd ffare his ignorance of the place and unskillfulness
to avoide the danger of it, did and were enforced (for the preservation of
the sayd shipp and her ladeing and her companyes lives from perishing through
the ignorance and insufficiencie of the sayd ffare) to direct and shape the sayd
shipps course whilst shee was amongst the sayd sands and soe by the
good blessing of God on the industry and caare of the sayd Master and
Company the sayd shipp did passe the sayd sands in safety whereas
shee might and in probability would otherwise by the sayd ffares unskillfullness
have bin cast awaie upon them And hee further saith the sayd
shipp
