and saith the sayd shipp safely arrived wi … and saith the sayd shipp safely arrived with the Tobaccoes laden a board her<br />
at the Bermudas, at Virginia and there shee took in at the River of Nansemumme in the<br />
moneths and tyme arlate severall other quantities of Tobaccoe amounting<br />
to a great great quantitie and departed therewith about the latter end of January 1655 bound<br />
for London aforesayd the port of her discharge And further to these articles hee<br />
cannot depose knowing not by whose order or for whose Account the sayd<br />
Tobaccoes were laden or to whome they were consigned but saith they were<br />
to be delivered at London./
To the 3: 4th 5th and 6th articles of the sayd allegaton hee saith the sayd<br />
shipp having taken in the sayd Tobaccoes both at Bermudas and Virginia<br />
departed therewith out of James River in Virginia about the latter end<br />
of January 1655 bound for London and saith that about fower dayes<br />
after and upon or about the first of February last the sayd shipp was<br />
surprized with a very violent storme and tempest which continued for<br />
the space of about fower days togeather and the violence thereof was soe<br />
great that the sayd shipp tooke in great seas which raked her fore and aft<br />
and staved her long boate and brake it to peeces and brake the heads of<br />
her Rudder short off and brake the Iron worke of it soo that the sayd Rudder<br />
was in great danger to bee wholly torne off and carried away from the<br />
sayd shipp by violence of the sayd storme, and alsoe brake downe the<br />
waste of the sayd shipp on both sides, and some of her tymbers in soo<br />
much that the water was almost continually upon the shipps deck and<br />
much of it rann downe in to hold and among the sayd Tobaccoes and in to<br />
other parts of the sayd shipp and could not be prevented from soe doeing<br />
by the Master and Company of the sayd shipp though they used all possible<br />
indeavour to prevent the same and the sayd shipp and ladeing and all her<br />
company by violence of the sayd storme were in great danger to bee<br />
cast away and sinke in the sea And saith the sayd Master and Company<br />
did cause men to be hung over the sayd shipps sides in roapes to<br />
worke and fasten the Rudder of the sayd shipp for as to bring her to<br />
her steerage and had their work broken by the storm and were in great<br />
hazard of their lives in soe doeing, and at length did make the same continue<br />
fast and brought her to her steerage And saith the sayd Master and Company<br />
during the sayd Storme wrought day and night by turnes at the chayne pumps<br />
and did their utmost endeavour to preserve the sayd tobaccoes from dammage<br />
and the sayd shipp from sinkeing, and did by Gods mercie and blessing<br />
upon their labour preserve the sayd shipp from sinking And further<br />
to these articles he cannot depose/
To the 7th hee saith the sayd first storme being with great perill and<br />
much harme done as aforesayd passed over, the sayd shipp and ladeing<br />
was in her course for London againe surprized with a second storme which<br />
happened about the 9th of February aforesayd and continued with great<br />
violence to the twelveth, and with some smale abatement about till the sixteenth<br />
of the same and the sayd shipp being soe hurt and her [?w]asts and tymbers<br />
and Rudder broken, though they were in some measure amended, videlicet as well as for the<br />
present they could bee got they were some of them by violence of the sayd<br />
second storme (the deck being seldome cleere of water) much hurt and<br />
preiudiced soe that the water ran into the shipps hold and amongt the sayd<br />
Tobaccoes not withstanding all the endeavour the Master and company did<br />
andthe Master and company did<br />
