To the fifteenth article of the sayd allegation This deponent saith that the sayd Henry
Powell did during his stay att Antego sometymes goe to hawle Turtles
which were as he saith a very good food and provision of victualls for the
sayd shipps Company and very beneficial to the Owners and tending
to the preservation of other victualls; And saith he doth not know that he did
mispend and wast his tyme during his such stay att Antego. And otherwise
he cannot depose.
To the sixteenth article of the sayd allegation This deponent saith that the sayd Henry
Powell hath by common report bene a Master of a shipp for many yeares
now past, And hath had and hath the reputation of a carefull and diligent
man in his busines and imployment of that nature. And otherwise he cannot
depose.
To the Crosse Interrogatories.
To the first he saith he understandeth well the nature of an Oath and the
danger of periury; And saith the sayd shipp the Hopewell arrived
att Antego upon or about the 14th day of October 1652. and continued
there about 16 dayes before she was seized, which he knoweth being one
of her Companye.
To the second he saith that as he beleiveth the sayd Powell and his Mariners
applying themselves constantly to their work according to their duty
might have laden the Hopewell in twenty dayes, and not in lesse
tyme, which he knoweth for that the worke was too difficult and over
great to have bene performed by the sayd Powell and Company being
but about 16 men and two boyes. and otherwise negatively
To the third Interrogatorie He saith that about seven or eight of the Hopewells
Company did spend about two or three dayes in Cutting of wood by Captain
Powells order but not wastfully but for the necessary service of the
shipp, and saith that about two of the marriners or shipps boyes of the
Hopewell did upon severall dayes the number whereof he knowes not
hawle turtles , and the sayd Henry Powell sometymes went himselfe
but how often he knoweth not and beleiveth that in the hawling of turtles
there was spent in all the sayd severall tymes about 12 howres and not more, and saith the sayd
12 howres were not wastfully spent as he beleiveth being taken in the
morning or evening of the say, and the sayd Turtles by them caught
being an usefull food for the shipps Companie as aforesayd. And otherwise
he cannot depose, saving that he knoweth and beleiveth the foresayd premisses
being one of the Hopewells Company and present att Antego.
To the 4th Interrogatorie he saith that Captaine Powell aforesayd did about two
datyes before the seizure of the sayd shipp as aforesayd take four of his
shipps Company with him in a boat of 4 tonnes or thereabouts to the Island
of Barboodas. and saith he so went upon the wednesday night before
the seizure and returned back upon the Tuesday then next following
being the third day after the seizure. And otherwise he cannot depose
To the .5.th he saith that the sayd Powell and his Company if they had
continued constantly att worke might have laden the Hopewell in 20 days
and not lesse, and that more men might have done the sayd worke in
lesser tyme but in how much lesse he knoweth not. And saith he beleiveth
the sayd Powell might have hired men att Antegoe, but not Mariners
and further otherwise than negatively he cannot depose.

Prince Rupert upon a Saturday Morning being the 30th day of October [?XXXX]
