Company of the ''Providence'' to keepe the … Company of the ''Providence'' to keepe the shipp ''Providence'' to the windeward<br />
which this deponent and company did, but seeing and observing that the sayd<br />
Lee and Company did notwith standing it appeared they well understood the<br />
signes made unto them, not beare up but hold on their course with the shipp<br />
''Samuell'' by which meanes they (unlesse some tymely course were taken to<br />
prevent the same the shipp ''Samuell'' would undoubtedly come fowle of<br />
''Providence'') this deponent and Company of the ''Providence'' to prevent as much<br />
as in them lay any mischeife which might ensue upon the ''Samuells'' holding<br />
on her course and not bearing up as desyred) did put the ''Providence'' on the<br />
stayes and turned her out of the ''Samuells'' course, and called to the<br />
sayd Lee and his Company of the ''Samuell'' to doe the like in regard they<br />
did not beare up as they were before desyred and told them that if they did<br />
not either beare up with their shipp ''Samuell'' or put her on the stayes shee<br />
would unavoidably fall fowle of the ''Providence'', all which the sayd [?XXXX GUTTER]<br />
and Company of the ''Samuell'' might (and did as hee beleeveth) very well heare<br />
and observe, but tooke noe care either to beare up with the ''Samuell'' or<br />
put her upon the stayes but kept on their direct course with her and by<br />
that meanes with full sayles did in a carelesse and willfull manner<br />
runne the steme of the ''Samuell'' right upon the midshipp of the ''Providence''<br />
and thereby the sayd shipp ''Providence'' and her ladeing of coales<br />
were utterley lost and perished in the sea or company hath likewise perished but that they for the [?saveing GUTTER]<br />
of their lives seeing her sunke soe deepe that the water came<br />
into the mens Cabbins as the gunne roome notwithstanding they used their utmost endeavour labouring with two pumpes to [XXXXXXX] made a shift to runne<br />
her a shoare soe as to save their lives though they could not preserve the<br />
sayd shipp ''Providence'' and her ladeing All which had with ease bin [?XXX GUTTER]<br />
and the ''Providence'' and her ladeing had not perished if the sayd Lee and<br />
Company of the ''Samuell'' had borne up with their sayd shipp or [?brought GUTTER]<br />
her on the stayes as were by this deponent and company desyred<br />
and advised to doe, and might very easily have done if they had pleased<br />
soe that the sayd losse and dammage came of this deponents [?knowledge GUTTER]<br />
meerely by the fault of the sayd Lee and company and through [?the GUTTER]<br />
either willfull or negligent guideing and ordering of their sayd<br />
shipp the ''Samuell'' And further to those articles hee cannot depose/
To the 7th article of the sayd libell hee saith that the shipp the ''Providence''<br />
at the tyme shee and her ladeing of coales were soe suncke which was about the [?XXth] day of September [XXXX] was a<br />
new shipp it being her second voyage that ever shee had made, and was<br />
about sixty foote longe in the Keele and twenty foote wide and all her<br />
tackle apparrell and furniture very good, and in this deponents Judgement<br />
shee and her ladeing of Coales were at they tyme aforesayd very well<br />
worth seaven hundred and fifty pounds sterling and better and so much<br />
they would have yeilded if they had not bin soe suncke as aforesayd the<br />
premisses hee deposeth of his owne sight and knowledge being Master of her as<br />
aforesayd And further cannot depose/
To the 8th hee saith that the arlate Lawe, Cooper and Company besides<br />
the losse of the sayd shipp the ''Providence'' and her ladeing of Coales are<br />
otherwise dammified to the value of one hundred pounds sterling and<br />
more for want of the sayd shipp to use in their merchandizing imployment<br />
