which continued for many dayes togeather by meanes whereof the<br />
''Unitie'' and the sayd ffoxes shipp were separated the one from the other<br />
and lost each others company and sawe one an other noe more till the sayd<br />
ffoxes shipp arrived at Antego, where shee came in for safety and<br />
preservation, though shee were bound for James River in Virginia<br />
the place the ''Unitie'' was alsoe bound to if shee could have gotten thither<br />
And further to this article hee cannot depose./
To the 11th 12th 13th 14th and 15th articles hee saith that after the ''Unitie'' had<br />
soe lost the company of the sayd ffox his shipp the sayd Moulson and Company<br />
did discover at Sea an other shipp (which they afterwards understood was<br />
the ''hopefull Luke'' arlate and bound alsoe for Virginia where shee never arrived<br />
being cast away as they afterwards heard upon the coast of Bermudas) but by reason of the stresse of<br />
weather within few dayes lost the sight of her againe And the Unitie she<br />
continueing her course for Virginia the storme encreased more and more<br />
and was alsoe accompanied with much snowe hayle thunder and lightning<br />
and the sea wrought exceeding high and often brake into the sayd<br />
shipp ''Unitie'' notwithstanding all endeavour that could bee used by her<br />
Master and Company to prevent the same and by that meanes the bedding of<br />
the passengers and Company and the passengers cloathes which were packed<br />
upon caske and other the goods aboard the sayd shipp were<br />
and the bread and other provisions of the shipp were much damnified<br />
by wett rewards by reason of the seas breaking in, and some of the<br />
Caske wherein the provisions of beere and fresh water were kept were<br />
staved soe that the Company and passengers were in much want thereof<br />
and much straightned in their allowance and soe violent the storme<br />
was and continued soe longe that by reason there of the shipps company<br />
were forced continually to worke at the Chayne pumpe to preserve<br />
her from sinkeing and soe wrought constantly at the pumpe day and<br />
night till shee gott to Antego (which happened in the moneth of January<br />
one thousand six hundred fifty fower English style) And hee well<br />
knoweth being Carpenter as aforesayd that with the violence and<br />
long continuance of the sayd stormy and tempestious weather the sayd<br />
shipp ''Unitie'' was soe exceeding battered and shaken that most of<br />
her bonds, and her standers gave way, and her mayne knee gave<br />
way about seaven or eight inches from the stemme and the stemme<br />
gave way from the upper workes the butt ends of the plankes of the<br />
shipp started and gave way and her wayles, and her beames, wrought<br />
to and fro, and the Oakeham wrought out of her seames, and the<br />
forechaynes of the shipp were washed away to the great endanering<br />
of the losse of the foremast and part of the sheathing and some of<br />
the false bends of the sayd shipp were alsoe washed away and<br />
notwithstanding the sayd shipps being kept with continuall pumpeing<br />
by reason the sea often brake in and shee shipped much water, shee had<br />
once five foote water in hold, and this deponents mate (being in<br />
hold with this deponent and others) ranne up out of the hold and told the sayd<br />
