appeared as well by generall report as pei … appeared as well by generall report as peices of shipps that were seene floating<br />
after their perishing. And this deponent for his part doth verily beleive<br />
that in case the sayd shipp had not bene a strong stanch and able shipp, or in case<br />
her Master and Company had not shewed their labour and diligence as aforesayd<br />
the sayd shipp and all her lading in her had perisht and bene lost by the<br />
extreme violence of the sayd tempest. And otherwise he cannot depose.
To the eighth article hee saith that the sayd great mast yards Ropes and tackle, and<br />
sayd Cable and Anchor were lost as aforesayd for preservation of the sayd shipp and<br />
her lading which he knoweth for the reasons aforesayd. And the sayd mast and<br />
other the sayd particulars so lost were in his judgment of the value of four<br />
hundred and sixty six dollars or thereabouts, and that then like cannot be bought<br />
for a lesser sume of money. And he conceyveth that the sayd losse ought to be<br />
borne betwixt the sayd shipp and lading in a rateable proportion. And otherwise he cannot depose.
To the ninth and tenth articles hee saith that the sayd shipp being so brought to G[?a]sthaven<br />
could not depart to performe her voyage till she was provided of a mast yards<br />
and other necessaries such as were lost. And none being to be had att Gasthaven<br />
of the sayd Master was forced and did goe to Christian=Saint to provide the same and<br />
there bought a mast, yards two anchors with cordage and some sayles such as hee<br />
could there procure for which (as upon his returne he did affirme and as this<br />
deponent beleiveth he payd about three hundred Rijx dollars, and could not gett<br />
the same cheaper. And he saith that being there in a strange place and having<br />
not money sufficient to pay for the sayd tackle and necessaries he the sayd Master was<br />
forced and did borrow seventy Dollars of the Mariners of his Company: and allso<br />
twenty five dollars of one Evert Penniake a Master of a shipp then att Christian<br />
Sant (as the sayd Master upon his returne from [XXXXX] to Gastaven affirmed) and as this deponent<br />
beleiveth. And this deponent knoweth that (he the sayd Master (still wanting<br />
moneyes to pay for the sayd things) did take a bundle of hempe out of the sayd<br />
shipp being one of the thirty marked as aforesayd, and he (as he sayd) sold the<br />
same for about 80 dollars and could not gett more for the same, five of which dollars<br />
(as he also sayd) were spent in satisfying the Customes and other dutyes for the sayd<br />
bundle of hempe. And the rest together with some of his owne money<br />
and the moneyes borrowed as aforesayd making in all (as he sayd) about three<br />
hundred dollars, were payd for the sayd mast sayles anchors and necessaries above<br />
mentioned. And the sayd mast was brought a board and sett upp and other the sayd tackle<br />
fitted for the performing of the sayd voyage of the sight and certayne knowledge<br />
of this deponent Carpenter in and of the ''Hope'' as aforesayd. And otherwise<br />
he cannot depose.
To the xith article he saith that the sayd shipp necessarily lay att Gusthaven about six<br />
or seaven weekes to be fitted for her sayd voyage, and then departed and meeting<br />
with crosse winds was forced to putt into fflackery in Norway and there to<br />
stay about eight dayes, and setting sayle from thence for London was by<br />
contrary winds forced to putt into Newcastle, whither she came about<br />
three weekes before Christmas last and this deponent in her, whereby he<br />
knoweth the premisses to be true. And otherwise he cannot depose
To the xijth and xiijth articles he saith that the sayd Barnhide did att Newcastle hire<br />
a pilot by name John Holland to Pilot the sayd shipp to London, and the sayd Pilot<br />
came on board and though the winds were crosse yet after some dayes conducted<br />
the sayd shipp and lading (the sayd bundle of hempe sold att Christian sant excepted)<br />
safe to Harwich, whither being come there was a man of Warr called<br />
the ''Hare=pinke'' which as was there sayd used to Convoy shipps to London, and<br />
