this article hee cannot depose

To the 3 article hee saith that of his this deponents sight and knowledge
while the shipp Negro remayned at Saint Christophers the voyage
in question, shee having formerly sprunge a leake at Sea these
arlate Whitfeilds mate hendrick man, and one Albert Johnson who
assisted therein neere endeavouring to stopp and amend the sayd
leake as shee lay at Saint Christophers and the sayd Whitfeild having
bin a shoare in Saint Christophers and being farr overgone with drinck
came aboard, and being come the sayd Whitfeild went downe into
the hold where his mate and the sayd Johnson were at worke and
had well neere finished their worke about stopping the sayd leake
and this deponent being upon deck and lookeing down into the [?hold GUTTER]
heard the sayd Whitfeild wrangle with the sayd hendrick
Man and Johnson and reprove them for meddleing with the stoppeing
the sayd leake and asked them who bidd them be soe bold to meddle
with the stopping thereof without him, the sayd Whitfeild, and sayd
that was not the way to gett their wages, but they should rather
have lett the sayd shipp alone till shee had bin filled with water
that shee might have bin haled ashoare as Brownes
shipp was, (meaning a shipp whereof one Browne was Master
which was haled a shoare being ready to sinke) and then [?XXX GUTTER]
might perhapps sayd hee recover our wages as they (meaning Brownes
men) have done, or words to
that effect And further hee cannot depose

whereof the shipp was in great danger of perishing and hee
heard the arlate Captaine Lockier speake then to the sayd Edwards
and Whitfeild to have a care of the preservation of her according
to their severall places, but what answere they gave hee knoweth not
for that hee this deponent was goeing downe into his stewards roome and
thereby heard not their answere, but heard the Masters mate
and some others of the shipps Company saye that the sayd Whitfeild
and Edwards did both of them answere and replyed as is arlate
or to the like effect And further to this article hee cannot depose/

To the 5th article of the sayd allegation hee saith that hee well
knoweth that at New England there was a quantitie of Corne
videlicet pease and wheate put aboard the shipp Negro to bee
thence carried to the Maderas and saith hee heard the arlate
Captaine Lockier publiquely upon the dock before this deponent and
severall others of the sayd shipps company order the sayd Whitfeild
as Carpenter to have a speciall care to make the bulk heads
of the sayd shipp firme and to soe that the sayd Corne were well
dennaged which the sayd Whitfeild sayd hee would doe and
