hee well knew the shipp the ''Adventure'' interrogated whereof Thomas Partridge was master<br />
and soe knew her by the space of eight weekes or thereabouts before her<br />
miscariage hereafter mentioned, during which time hee served in her first as<br />
masters mate and then as master, the said Partridge falling sick and staying<br />
ashore at Hull about seaven weekes before such her miscarriage or casting<br />
away, and this deponent thereupon taking charge of her there as master,<br />
and such his sicknesse being very violent and taking him alsoe with a<br />
lamenesse, disabled him the said Partridge to goe in her, and that was the reason of<br />
his not proceeding thence in her and of this deponents taking charge of<br />
her.
To the third hee saith the said shipp proceeded from hull to Rotterdam<br />
and thence departed to goe for hartlepoole, but comming about six<br />
leagues off Blakeney on the coast of Norfolke shee<br />
sprunge a leake, which was soe greate and incurable that notwithstanding<br />
her company pumpt eight and fourtie houres with all the pumpes<br />
they could make soe that they were quite tired and spent, yet could they<br />
not possibly cleare her, but shee sunck right downe and<br />
the company saved themselves in the boate, soe that shee perished and<br />
is quite lost, of his this deponents sight being then master and one of<br />
them that soe betooke themselves to the boate, and this hee saith was on<br />
the eighteeneth of July last or thereabouts.
To the fourth and fifth hee saith the said Thomas Partridge was<br />
owner of the said shipp wholly, and fitted her out as owner<br />
and this deponent hath seene his bill of sale declaring him to be<br />
sole owner, And saith there was noe part of her tackle furniture<br />
or materialls saved, nor ought that belonged unto her her, saving her<br />
boate, which hee knoweth for the reasons aforesaid.
