Isaack the Isack was under only one Course and the Saint Jacob had then
two of her courses out and her Mizen And the Master and company of
the Isaack seeing the Saint Jacob about to come fowle of them called out
to the Master and Company of the Saint Jacob to beare up under the stearne of
the Isaack least they should come fowle of her, and the Saint Jacobs Company
might well and as hee beleeveth, did heare the Isaacks company call
to them to beare up, which notwithstanding they held on their course
and by that meanes came fowle of the Isaack and damnified her
in manner aforesaid, whereas if they had borne up when they
were soe desired they might easily have avoided coming fowle
of her and by their not doeing the Isaack and her ladeing and twelve
of her passengers perished as aforesaid this hee deposeth
of his certayne knowledge being one of the Isaacks Company as

To the 5th Interrogatorie hee saith that the English Convoy had ordered the company
of the Isaack that if they were in any distresse or extreamity by
reason of springing any leake or other mishap or by being assaulted
by Enymies or by any other meanes then to shoote off a Gunne to
give him notice thereof and hee would thereupon come to their
assistance And saith the Isaacks Company who were got aboard the
Saint Jacob did acquaint the Saint Jacobs company with such order and
desired them to fyre a gunne to give notice to the English Convoy
of the Saint Jacobs distresse but the Saint Jacobs Master and Company refused to
fyre any gunne and did not fyre any which the Isaacks sayd Company seeing they
besought the Saint Jacobs Company that they would lye by the Isaack
till morning (it being about two howers to day) and then endeavour
to save her and the passengers aboard her but they refused alsoe to stay
by her and the Master of the Saint Jacob sayd hee would not answere it
to his Merchants the hinderance of soe long tymes stay as to lye by
her or to that effect and soe departed away from her and carried those of the Isaacks
Company who were got aboard the Jacob with him in the Jacob And
further hee cannot answere/

To the 6th Interrogatorie hee saith that the Interrogant Robert ?Saunders and others
Inhabitants of Plymouth were the Owners and Proprietors of the
Isaack and her tackle and furniture when the disaster soe happened
as aforesayd and saith the Isaack was of the burthen of fowerscore
and ten tonne and was worth the tyme Interrogate sixe hundred
pounds sterling at the least in this deponents Judgment and estimate And hee verily beleeveth
and is perswaded in his conscience that her ladeing aboard her at the tyme
of ?such disaster happening was worth six thousand pounds sterling
and
