To the 13th article of the sayd allegation he saith the sayd shipp when she was
lost was of the burthen of 220 tonnes or thereabouts and had 18 guns

and was with her tackle and provisions and appurtenances worth the somme

of £2000 or thereabouts and the foresayd oyles were worth the first
penny neere upon 17000 dollars and would if they had come safe
to England have yeelded a farr greater price. And otherwise
cannot depose.

To the 14th he saith that the sayd Passage from Corona to Zant is very
dangerous in regard of Pyratts which he knoweth for that it is much
frequented ad infested by Dearovers as well Turkes as Bandites
plying thereabouts, and siath in probability in case the sayd oyles had
bene furnished att Petras according to the Agreement made with
Mr Hatton they might have come safely to this Port of London whence
they were designed for the Accompt aforesayd, the passage from Corona
to Zant being a more safe passage. And otherwise cannot depose.
