ánd sinking, amounted in his estimation to one thousand livers Tournois,
and the same could not as hee beleeveth be defrayed with lesse expense
and charge, And otherwise hee cannot depose

To the eighth hee saith that upon and by reason of the said disaster that
the said shipps company threatened to quit and leave her,
and would have left her, had not the said Eleazer la Marchaut
her master by and upon a new composition given them a monthes
wages or thereabouts more than they were by their first agreement
to have, whereunto hee was constrained that hee might keepe them, and the same was
occasioned by the said disaster,
All which hee knoweth for the reason
aforesaid.

To the nineth Interrogatory hee saith the said Eleazar le Marchaut
upon the premisses desiring to have an alteration made, went to
a Notary in [?Narmontier], who upon relation of the passages, drew
it up, and and then the foresaid monsieur Gazeau (who was to
have laded the said goods) being acquainted therewith, and as it seemed
disswading the said Notary from giveing the same, the said Notary
refused the deliverie thereof to the said le Marchaut requiring
the same, telling him that hee durst not dliver it, in regard of
the said monsieur Gazeau, or to that effect, which hee knoweth going
with the said le Marchaut to the said Notary (as alsoe did his
precontest Jaques durand) and taking notice of the premisses.
