To the first article of the sayd allegatio … To the first article of the sayd allegation hee saith and deposeth that hee this<br />
deponent being a Merchant and then resideing at Scamderoone did in the moneth<br />
of October 1654 shipp him selfe in the arlate shipp ''hopewell'' to come and did come a passenger in her<br />
from thence to London and by that meanes well knew the sayd shipp during the<br />
moneths of October November and december arlate 1654 and knoweth during the sayd<br />
tyme shee was a stronge tight and firme vessell and every way fitt to receave<br />
and carry Merchants goods and soe continued till her arrivall at London and soe this deponent coming a passenger in her well observed<br />
her to bee And further to this article hee cannot depose saving his following deposition/
To the second and third articles of the sayd allegation hee saith the sayd shipp ''hopewell''<br />
tooke in goods at Scanderoone arlate to be thence transported to London and saith<br />
that hee this deponent comming a passenger in the sayd shipp to London did see the<br />
bulke of the sayd shipp broken and thereby perceived that the Merchandize stowed<br />
in her were well and carefully stowed upon good fustickwood and matts and that divers<br />
barrell staves were layed betweene the ballast and the goods the better to preserve<br />
them from damage and did well observe that the sayd fustick wood<br />
which laye under the goods was drye and in good condition And hee alsoe saith that<br />
the sayd shipp in her passage betweene Scanderoone and London in the moneth of<br />
January 1654 off of Callary being in the latitude of 38 degrees and a halfe or thereabouts<br />
and the winde from West North West mett with a very violent storme which<br />
by reason of the violence thereof caused the Master and company of the sayd shipp<br />
for the better preservation of the sayd shipp and goods and her Companyes<br />
lives to beare out only a peece of her mizen sayle for the space of about<br />
three dayes togeather, in which tyme the sayd shipp (though very tight in<br />
her hull) receaved much water by reason of the saes breaking over her<br />
divers tymes, to the hreat hazard and danger both of the sayd shipp and goods and<br />
the mens lives in her, And hee further saith that the sayd shipp in her<br />
sayd passage did about the thirteenth of Aprill 1655 off of Scielley in<br />
the latitude of abput 49 degrees the winde then South East and by South, meete with<br />
an other very violent storme which lasted about 24 howers with that<br />
extreame violence that by the seas often breakeing over the decks the sayd<br />
shipps waste was lkmost filled with water soe that there<br />
was little hopes of preserving the sayd shipp and goods or the companyes<br />
lives, yet hee saith that hee well knoweth that the hull of the sayd shipp<br />
continued still very tight and stanch, and what water the shipp receaved<br />
was only from her upper deck by reason of the seas workeing in upon<br />
it and thereby knoweth that whatsoever damage happened to the ladeing<br />
of the sayd shipp soe happened only through the violence of the sayd stormes<br />
and not throuh any want of goods stowage or defect of the sayd shipp<br />
And further hee cannot depose./
To the last hee saith his foregoeing deposition is true/
