Transcription

To the third article he deposeth and saith That he being
as he hath predeposed a board the said shipp the Desire
at the time aforesaid did see the arlate shipp the
Sisters come with a ffresh gale of wind directly towards
the Desire, and that he heard the Masters Mate of
the Desire call unto the Company of the Sisters, asking
where will you be, where will you bee, and that there was
some answear made thereto by some or one of the Company
of the Sisters, but he saith he being then busy did not
heare what were the words, And he saith that notwithstanding
the said Masters Mate of the Desire calling unto
them of the Sisters, the said shipp the Sisters did continue
in her course, and did willfully come aboard the desire,
soe violently that she brake downe her quarter, and her
missen Mast, and her maine beame in the hould, and
alsoe runn her anchor with soe much violence into the
sides of the Desire that she broke and left part
of her said anchor there, And that by the reason of the
damage she soe received by the shipp the Sisters she was
three or fower foote water deepe in the hould, And that
without doubt had she not bin a strong and staunch
shipp she had sunck downe by the Sisters, and her Company
had all bin lost, but by their diligence and care in
working for preserving of her and stopping her leakes
(which the Sisters by her Anchor had made) with beefe, It
pleased God they escaped perishing The premisses he well
knoweth being aboard her, and at the time she was hurt
and helpeing in her preservation And further he cannot
depose.

To the fourth article he deposeth and saith that after the Masters
Mate of the Desire did call unto them of the Sisters upon his
perceiving that they came directly towards the Desire, the
Company of the Sisters might easily have avoyded coming
foule of the Desire, and had the Company of the Sisters borne
up ahead of the Desire, they of the Desire might have helpt
in eschewing the danger, but as the Desire lay, and as the
Sisters came, which was directly willfully upon the Desire
she could not possibly avoyd the damage and danger that
happened And further he cannot depose.

To the fifth and sixth articles he deposeth and saith that
he hath gone in the shipp the Desire the fower last
voyages she hath made, and by that meanes well knoweth that
she was a strong and staunch shipp before the dammage
done her by the Sisters predeposed of, and that she hath made
but one voyage since she was [?troughly] repayred, and that
(as he beleiveth) it hath cost the Master and Company
in repayring her of the dammages soe sustayned by the Sisters
thirteene pounds sterling, and that she was soe extreemely
shaken by the Sisters running soe violently upon her that
not lesse then a hundred pounds will make her as good and
as tight as she was before the said Sisters runne upon her
And
