aboard to doe it or to that effect, and thisd eponent replyed and told
him hee would spare him some of the John and Abigalls companyes
hands to helpe them to get that Anchor aboard or to hawle it more to the North=

To the 9th and 10th articles hee saith that by such the Consents being bilged
upon the sayd Anchor of the Phenix the Owners of the Consent are
damnified, but what to value their dammage at hee knoweth not
And further hee cannot depose/
