Saint Christophers by the way, and delivered, and tooke in goods there)<br />
and from New England back to Barbados againe (at all which<br />
places hee traded) and thence to Virginia and saith by order of the<br />
sayd Edmund Cowse and saith that with sayd shipps passage<br />
betwixt Barbadoes and Virginia, shee mett with very stormy<br />
and tempestious weather which soe shattered and bruised her hull<br />
and broke her forecastle and did her other dammage in her hull and<br />
and to sayles cordage tackle and furniture ˹that it˺ and caused her ˹to˺ loose her<br />
foremast foretop sayle, sayles yardes and all her rigging except<br />
her foreyard and foresayle, which were alsoe much damnified, yet<br />
with the helpe of them the sayd Jeggles gett her safe to Virginia, whence<br />
hee was constrained to staye till April last 1656 before hee could<br />
make her in any measure fitt to goe to sea againe, though the<br />
sayd Jeggles of this deponents knowledge did in that tyme of her<br />
staye there doe what hee could to fitt her with such things as shee<br />
wanted make her fitt to returne thence to Barbados but in respect Virginia is a place where sayles cordage and xxxx xxx such other things<br />
as shee wanted (except masts) were not to bee had, the sayd Jeggles<br />
was forced to make shrrades and other tackle of old hawsers and<br />
other old cordage which they procured from other shipps then in<br />
Virginia, and to mend and patch up old sayles which were aboard<br />
the Anne and layd by as things soe badd as not to bee made use of<br />
and therewith with much difficulty made her in such a Capacity that<br />
shee was able to gett thence to England but could not there fitt her soe as<br />
to make her in a capacity to goe soe long a voyage as back from<br />
Virginia to the Barbados and thence to England, And this deponent well<br />
knoweth that had shee bin able to have gott back to Barbadoes yet<br />
Barbadoes is alsoe a place where Cordage, sayles and such other things<br />
as shee wanted are not there to bee had unlesse by chance other<br />
shipps that are there have such things to spare and more than what<br />
they have use for And further to these articles hee cannot depose
To the 12th saith that of his this deponents knowledge the sayd Jeggles<br />
did send up and downe in Virginia to Nausemum Rapahannuck<br />
and Potomack and other places to procure ladeing for his sayd shipp<br />
either for England Holland or Ireland but by reason of his long<br />
staye to fitt the sayd shipp with necessaries which shee wanted and<br />
for that many shipps came in to Virginia and goods were then there<br />
scarce to bee gotten the sayd Jeggles notwithstanding such his<br />
endeavour could get only one hundred fifty eight hogsheads of tobaccoe<br />
upon freight for severall planters of Virginia and fower hogsheads<br />
of tobaccoe or thereabouts for Accompt of the sayd Edmund Cowse and<br />
