the sayd shipp tpo drive alonge upon her side in the sea whereby shee receaved in<br />
very much water which could not bee avoided, and saith had the sayd shipps company<br />

there arose an other violent storme which continued for the space of about eight<br />

in great danger to perish in the sea, and tooke in very much water, but after a while<br />
the winde came contrarie to that point it blew upon in the violence of the storme<br />
by which meanes the arlate Captaine Greene (the Master of the sayd shipp), and<br />

met with all, and not through any defect of the sayd shipp, for hee this deponent<br />
well observed that before the stormes happened the sayd shipp was very tight<br />
and firme and after they were past continued soe tight as thatthey were past continued soe tight as that +
