Transcription

To the third and fourth and fifth Interrogatories he saith and deposeth that there was a
Biskayer or other Spanishman man of warr anchored alsoe in the
said Roade at the sametime whereupon Eleazar le Merchant master of the said
shipp Fortune (who was alsoe Sopra cargo in respect of part of
her lading) went ashore to the end (as hee said) to speake with the
Merchant to whom hee was consigned, to and to know whether the
place where the shipp was anchored was convenient to take in her
ladeing or not, and saith then about three quarters of an houre
or an houre after such his going ashore, there came a pilot aboard
as sent from the said merchant of Marmontier and acquainted this deponent and her
company aboard, that the place wherein they lay was not convenient
and safe in regard of the danger of the said Biskayer, and that
hee was sent by Mr Cazean to bring her into a more convenient
and safe place nearer the shore for the taking in of the rest of her lading; and
thereupon after the said shipp had tarried about foure howers at anchor
in the place where shee was as aforesaid brought to anchor, the said
pilot soe comming from thence caused her to be thence removed
to goe nearer the shore and in such removall brought her upon a
Sandbank, whence shee was quickly after gott off againe, and
then endeavouring still to bring her nearer the shore hee brought
her to an anchor in a place which hee said was safe and convenient
but it proved fuser other, it being over a rock, upon which rock
the said shipp in the night upon the falling away of the tide and
a greate tempest arising (as hee saith it did) bilged and beate
in such manner, that being thereby made exceeding leakie, shee
received in water in such abundance that shee sanck and was
full of water in the hold, and could not be set to sea againe
without first repairing and mending, which All which hee
knoweth being masters mate, and present and being the things
so happen.

To the sixth article hee saith that by reason of the said bilging
and beating of the said shipp against the rock and her leaking TO DO: into

was under water about seaven dayes together, before shee could
be gotten up, in which there were sometimes two and sXX
three boates or more and twenty or five and twenty men
or thereabouts inployed continually about pumping out the TO DO: water
and other worke for the weighing up of the said shipp, the rudder
whereof was broken, and two or three of her planckes, and TO DO: XX
foote of her keele broke and carried away, all which hee knoweth
being the time so dunne .

To the seaventh hee saith that there were three or foure carpenters
imployed about repairing the said shipp for eight or nine dayes
together or thereabout to worke day and night as the tide TO DO: XX
and permitted, and that one of them had sixtie sold per day
pay for this worke, another fiftie and another fourtie five or
thereabout, and saith the ˹cost of˺ worke more shipp and materials XX
