Transcription The 24th of March 1658. [CENTRE HEADING] The 24th of March 1658. [CENTRE HEADING] Wood, Bradley and Company}<br /> against Colquit. Smith. Suckly} '''dt. Browne.''' '''.1.''' '''Peter Hansson''' of Wapping Mariner, aged 27 yeares or thereaboputs<br /> sworne and examined. Examined upon the libell given in this cause. To the second article of the said libell hee saith and deposeth that hee well<br /> knoweth the shipp the ''Alexander'' arlate, and about tenn weekes since (the time<br /> more preceisely hee knoweth not) saw her riding at anchor by two cables and two<br /> anchors in the Roade of Oratava, and well knoweth that while shee soe rode<br /> at anchor there happened a greate storme, wherby her master and company were<br /> necessitated (to avoid greater mischeif) to let slipp their said cables, and leaving<br /> them with the said two anchors to then there to put out to sea for her preservation<br /> which hee knoweth being there present in the shipp ''desire'' whereof henry<br /> Colquit (the partie defendant) was master, and seeing the premisses and<br /> alsoe what followeth. To the third hee saith that before such their going out to sea the said master and<br /> company of the ''Alexander'' fastened a topp mast as a buoy] to their said two<br /> cables soe left, to the end to finde them againe, which hee knoweth seeing the same<br /> soe left. To the fourth hee saith that the Canaries have all open roades wherein shipps<br /> usually ride, and particularly that of Oratavo is open, and greate stormes<br /> use there to happen, by meanes whereof shipps there riding are<br /> frequently forced to slip their anchors and goe out to sea, till the storme be<br /> over, and then retourne to the same place where they leave their cables and<br /> anchors soe slipped, to which they use (before going out) to fasten a buoy or buoys<br /> (as the Alexander now did) to finde the same by againe. And many shipps<br /> at a time being often necessitated soe to put out and leave their cables and<br /> anchors, they usually upon retourne after the storme goe to their owne cables<br /> and anchors, and not meddle with those of other shipps that are not yet<br /> retourned, well knowing that the shipps to which they belong will certainly<br /> retourne to them as fast as they can after the storme, and againe moore by<br /> or take up their said cables and anchors, to which buoys are constantly left,<br /> this hee knoweth having bin severall times there, And further hee cannot depose. To the fifth and sixth articles hee saith and deposeth that the said shipp the<br /> ''desire'' being alsoe the time aforesaid in the said roade of<br /> Oratavo, and striving to ride out the storme after the ''Alexander''<br /> was gonne out, the ''desire'' her anchors at length came home, and being<br /> in danger of being put ashore, and neare the shipp buoy of the ''Alexander''<br /> the said Colquite tooke the oportunitie and commanded his company<br /> to make fast his shipp by a rope thereto, which was accordingly done, and<br /> in the night time the storme being very violent, soe that the shipp durst not<br /> ride, and not having time to loosen and put off the said shipp buoy of<br /> the ''Alexander'', the said Colquite himselfe cut<br /> the towe to which the said buoy was fastened, and soe leaving the said cables<br /> and anchors of the said shipp ''Alexander'' without a buoy, stood out to sea,<br /> and {?spe] the said two cables and anchors were and<br /> are lost, which hee knoweth seeing the premisses, and helping (by command<br /> of the said Colquite) to fasten the ''desire'' to the said shipp-buoy of the<br /> ''Alexander'', and afterwards seeing the said Colquite cut the tow in two<br /> by which meanes the said cables sinking<br /> they and the said two anchors must needs be lost. And further hee cannot deposeeds be lost. And further hee cannot depose  +
