his buying her, and often this deponent heard hear him say to be that hee
was the owner of her, and hee easily diserned that hee was soe

in which space shee take in a carge of oranges and lemmons for this
port of London and then departed therewith for this port of London,
and that shortly after such her running one from Porto the weather
became fowle and tempestuous, and such fowle weather increasing and
continewing [?longe] and the wind contrary the said vesell was with her said lading forced into
Saint Georges channell as farr as king-roade, in which chanell shee
was by adverse windes and fowle weather forced to continue a monethes
