the Sea and the Master and Company of her … the Sea and the Master and Company of her loose their lives and perish with<br />
her which to prevent the sayd Master and Company did their uttermost endeavour<br />
and tooke great paines to preserve the sayd shipp and lading and their owne lives<br />
and at length they concluded and agreed that the best way to preserve her and<br />
her lading and themselves was to putt the sayd shipps tacke and her mayne<br />
mast by the board and seeing noe hope otherwise to preserve her and them selves<br />
they began to put such their resolution into acte and did begin by order of<br />
the sayd Master to chopp and Cutt the mayne mast by the boarde, and did<br />
alsoe cutt the shroudes and the mayne stay interrogate and the sayd shroudes and mayne staye being Cutt the force of<br />
the sayd storme was soe great that (although the sayd Mast was a very<br />
stronge and substantiall mayne Mast and would not have broke unlesse the sayd shroudes and mayne mast had bin cut it brake it cleere off a good<br />
way above the place where the same was chopped it having noe staye<br />
and helpe from the sayd shroudes and mayne stay to preserve and support it which otherwise<br />
it would not (as hee beleveth) have done but would have continued firme<br />
and bin a meanes to have sunke the sayd shipp and her lading and<br />
hee is verily perswaded in his conscience that had not the sayd Master<br />
and Company cut the sayd shroudes and mayne stay the sayd shipp and her lading and<br />
the lives of the Master and the Company of her had bin lost and utterly perished by<br />
violence of the sayd storme soe that the same were soe cutt away meerely<br />
for the preservation of the sayd shipp and her lading and the mens lives on<br />
board her And saith that by meanes of cutting the sayd shroudes and<br />
mayne staye to avoide the danger of the sayd storme the mayne mast<br />
aforesayd and the mast and yardes and mayne sayle and mayne topsayle and<br />
all the rest of the sayd shipps rigging belonging and fastned to the mayne<br />
mast were blowne overboard and utterly lost and her skiffe was splitt and hove overboard, and the Anchors cutt from the bowe to ease the shipp and that the masts<br />
yardes sayles yardes boate Anchors and other rigging and materiall soe lost were in this deponents<br />
Judgement and estimate worth two hundred<br />
pounds sterling and further to these Interrogataries hee cannot depose
To the 4th Interrogatorie hee saith that hee being Carpenter of her as aforesayd<br />
well knoweth that the sayd shipp the ''Saphir'' before the sayd storme was in<br />
all respects a stronge tight and sufficient shipp And hee knoweth that the<br />
bulke heads of the sayd shipp both before the sayd storme and after were<br />
and continued firme and good, and saith that when the sayd shipp came<br />
in to Plymouth after the sayd storme her bulke heads were viewed by<br />
one Captaine Jones a Carpenter in presence of this deponent and Samuell<br />
Sagerr the master of the sayd shipp and saith the sayd Jones did in<br />
presence of this deponent and the sayd Master upon the viewing of them saye<br />
that her bulke heads were strong and sufficient or words to that effect<br />
And hee saith that hee well knoweth that when the sayd shipp went first<br />
out of the downes upon the sayd voyage there were good tarr paulings<br />
layd and nayled round the hatches for the better preservation of<br />
the sayd shipps ladeing from any dammage by wett and all care<br />
possible used to preserve her sayd lading case and in good condition and<br />
therefore and for the reasons aforesayd verily beleeveth that the dammage which happened to the sayd<br />
shipps lading happened thereto in and after the sayd storme and<br />
by reason thereof and not before And further to this Interrogatorie hee<br />
cannot depose./
Toatorie hee<br />
