was going down the River before the wind, and that the
Company of the Mary seeing how the ffreeman came did
call to her Company to edge asterne and did endeavour in all they
could to avoyde the ffreeman, and therfore left all the
channell to the ffreeman, and the Mary steerd upon the
South Shore as neare to the shore as possibly with safety
they could, soe that there was roome enough not onely
for the ffreeman but other shipps to have gone by the
Mary in brest and not have hurt or damaged the
Mary, And he saith that notwithstanding all meanes
possible were used by the Marys Company to have avoyded
the ffreeman, yet the freeman's Company edged their
vessell after the Mary, and the ffreeman did runne on
board the very mid shipps of the Mary, and the boltspritt
of the ffreeman did runne against the mayne Mast of
the Mary with such a force that it did breake her mayne
Mast into three peeces and carryed all the Masts sailes
and rigging by the boord, and the stemm of the ffreeman
ranne into the side of the Mary and brake her downe by
the water and he saith that undoubtedly if the bolt spritt
of the ffreeman had not runne against the Maine Mast
of the Mary the ffreeman had sunke her down right under
her and all his Company had bin drowned, The premisses
he deposeth being one of the said shipps Company and
aboard her when the ffreeman did soe runne upon, and
dammage her, and he saith that it was meer willfullnes
and obstinatenes in the ffreemans Company in soe running
upon the Mary, for the ffreeman might easily have
helped it, if she would, and that there were many spectators
of the passages by him predeposed, who doe all cry out
upon the ffreeman for such willfull mischeife, And
further he cannot depose./

To the third article hee deposeth and saith that by reason
of the sayd ffreemans falling foule on the Mary the
boltspritt of the ffreeman was foule of the shrouds of
the Mary, and that he the deponent saw and heard the
arlate Peter Whitty give order to the ffreemans Company
to cutt the Mary's shrouds and foresaile, saying hee
would beare them out in it, and that the sayd Whitty
did call the Marys Company Collyerly doggs, and say that
he had not cared if he the sayd Whitty had sunck the
said vessell the Mary, if he could have saved the
mens lives, and that the Company of the ffreeman
did according to the sayd Whittys order cutt the shrowds
and sayles of the Mary; And further he cannot
depose.

To the fourth he deposeth that not long after the
damages by him deposed of were done to the
Mary, he the deponent heard the arlate Peter Whitty
tell Robert Yaxley the Master of the Mary that he
would make them satisfaction for the damage he had
done the shipp the Mary And further he cannot depose.

To the last he saith his former deposition is true./
