********************************
The same day/
Examined upon the sayd allegation/
'''Rp. 4'''
'''Nicolas King''' of fflushing Mariner aged<br />
forty eight yeares or thereabouts a wittnes sworne<br />
and examined saith and deposeth as followeth videlicet./
To the first hee saith the goods brought the voyage in question to this<br />
port of London with ''Abrahams offering'' were laden aboard her in the<br />
Port of fflushing about the beginning of July 1656 at which tyme and<br />
for a long tyme before shee was and at this present is a tight and strong shipp<br />
and fitt to carry any Merchandize to any port what soever this hee the<br />
better knoweth being one of her Company the voyage in question and having<br />
bin of her Company for divers other voyages next before that made by<br />
her within these two or three yeares last past during all which tyme<br />
the sayd shipp hath of this deponents knowledge bin a tight stanch and<br />
sufficient shipp to carry any Merchandizes And further hee cannot depose/
To the second and third articles of the sayd allegation hee saith that by<br />
reason hee is an Inhabitant there hee well knoweth that the Port of fflushing<br />
is drye every tyde of Ebb and all shipps rideing in it come on ground every<br />
ebb tyde by which meanes it is very frequent that shipps being heavie laden<br />
doe by such their being left a ground often tymes strayne and crush then selves and springe<br />
leakes to the dammage of their ladeing and that it cannot bee prevented<br />
by any care of their Masters or Companies, by reason of which frequencie<br />
thereof if the shipp bee tight aboard and the dammage proceede not from above but<br />
from beneath the Owners of the goods beare the dammage usually as a thing<br />
casuall and the same is not imputed there to the Masters or Companyes<br />
of the sayd shipps in such cases and this is a thing very frequent at<br />
fflushing and well knowne to Sea men and others there liveing and others tradeing<br />
thither And saith hee well knoweth that the ''Abrahams offering'', the<br />
tyde of ebb leaving her on grounds after shee had taken in almost all<br />
her ladeing shee being, crushed with the weight thereof sprange a leake<br />
neere her keele at which shee tooke water to about a foote in hold whereby<br />
some of her ladeing was dammaged but it being presently discovered<br />
by the master and Company they pumped her dry and romaged her goods as<br />
well as they could and finding two or three packs dammaged with wett<br />
received put them out from on shipp board and left them at fflushing and<br />
not finding any more at present which they could preserve to be dammaged<br />
caused the sayd leake the next day after the discovery thereof (which discovery was in the<br />
Evening) to bee amended and shortly after the winde serving fayre and their<br />
Convoy being ready they sett sayle with the rest of her ladeing for London<br />
when they afterwards safely arrived And hee saith that what dammage is<br />
happened to any of the goods in question happened meerely by reason of<br />
the leake occasioned as a foresayd and not through any insufficencie of the sayd<br />
shipp (which is still a strong stanch shipp) nor default of the Master and company<br />
of her And further hee cannot depose/
