''Exeter Merchant'' the tyme Interrogate, and saith the ''Pilgrim'' then had<br />
a sufficient Anchor to the Northwards and an other on the south, and saith<br />
the ''Exeter Merchant'' after her being on drift, drave fowle upon the ''Pilgrim''<br />
soe suddainely that the ''Pilgrimes'' company (some of them being busie betweene<br />
decks) had not tyme to veere and heave as is Interrate before the ''Exeter''<br />
''Merchant'' came fowle as aforesayd And saith the ''Pilgrim'' did<br />
not ride by any other Anchor but two of her owne, and saith the ''Pilgrims''<br />
Anchors held soe fast as that both her cables brake with the violence of<br />
the ''Exeter Merchant'' falling fowle of her, and therby the ''Exeter Merchant''<br />
and ''Pilgrim'' drave on ground and the Collier Interrogate lying by the<br />

shee came into the River of Thames but noe part else of her head And saith<br />

as to be accompted leakie, And saith hee knoweth that her hoodings above<br />
water were open but not soe as to see the sea through the same till such tyme as<br />
the carpenter had opened them with a Calkeing Iron but saith that leakines<br />
and defect of her hoodings was in her outward voyage towards Saint Lucar, where<br />
her sayd hoodings and [?XXXnes] were mended, and such other repayres as shee then needed,<br />
doe to her soe that shee was reasonable staunch and sound at her coming home<br />
into the River of Thames and soe continued till the ''Exeter Merchant'' fell<br />
fowle of her and drove her on shoare as aforesayd (soe farr as hee could observe being aboard her) And further hee<br />
cannot answere saving hee saith the Interrogate Mr Graves did new sheath<br />
the ''Pilgrim'' after shee had receaved the hurt predeposed of./
To the 5th hee saith that some casks taken in at Pharoe was a little defective when they were<br />
taken into the sayd shipp ''Pilgrim'', but withall saith that what was defective<br />
was amended by the shipps Cooper Thomas Ellis this deponents precontest before the same<br />
was stowed, and saith<br />
some of the oyle Casks was old at the ladeing the same there aboard but was tight and<br />
staunche, and saith that some of the shipps companyvidelicet John Baker a masters mate thereof<br />
say that some of the wine Casks taken in at Pharoe was not fitt to be stowed or to that effect<br />
and the sayd Baker alsoe sent worde to that<br />
effect to the ffactor who caused the same to be laden, but hee this deponent<br />
well knoweth that the wines in question were not those (the casks<br />
