To the third Article of the sayd allegation This deponent saith. That he saw the arlate
shipp the Thomas Bonadventure att Ciprus the voyage in question (he this
deponent being there att the same tyme Captaine and Commander of the
African frigot) and saith the sayd shipp Thomas Bonadventure was of the
burthen of two hundred and eighty tonnes or thereabouts; and shee att that
tyme, as he was then informed had about four and forty men on board her.
And otherwise he ćannot depose.
To the fourth Article he saith that having bene twice att Ciprus hee hath observed
and knoweth it to be true, that woolls there are putt in very great baggs
and are difficult to stow. and by what he hath seene and observed he doth
Judge that the receyving on board and steeving of eight of those baggs a day
one day with another in said a vessell as the Thomas Bonadventure is a
sufficient imployment for forty four men especially after such shipp hath
taken in a considerable number of such baggs, and that a greater number
of baggs cannot nor are ordinarily taken in and steeved in such a shipp by
the day one day with another than as aforesaid. And further he cannot depose

convoy under Captaine XXXXXX the sayd ffooke and Chowne in this deponents heaving did advise
and order the sayd Captaine Hughes to stay for the sayd convoy and had along
in Company therewith; And the sayd ffooke then enforced his sayd advise and order
saying that the sayd shipp Thomas Bondadventure had more goods in her and
was richer than her freighters thought her to be, adding more over that
in case he the sayd Hughes should and did presume to depart without the Convoy and
any losse thereby should befall his shipp and lading he the sayd Hughes should

so to doe if he were worth so much or to that purpose, And otherwise he
cannot depose saving that the premisses happened a day or two before his
this deponents departure from Ciprus, which was about the twentyeth day of
