some of the sayd Captaine Woodfins Company to the Cable of the
ffrancis and Mary and continued there fastned to the sayd Cable
about a quarter of an hower in which tyme the sayd Woodfins company
heaved their shipp to the ffrancis and mary and some of them went on
board her intending (as this deponent beleeveth) to make gast
an other hawser about the ffrancis and Maries Mizen Mast or
some other part of her, but the sayd Captaine Smith seeing
their intente tooke a hatchet and in a willfull and angrie manner cut the sayd Exeter Merchants
hawser which was soe fastned to the ffrancis and Maries Cable after
it had bin soe fastned above a quarter of an hower, and contrary to the
Custome predeposed of turned her the Exeter Merchant and her ladeing

hazard leaped from aboard the sayd ffrancis and Marie to his
owne shipp and caused his company presently
to dropp an Anchor and vere their cable and doe their utmost diligence
to prevent any damage either to their owne shipp or any other that
lay neere which notwithstanding the force of the Ebb carried

with such force that thereby shee brake her and her owne quarter and her[?gallery] against
the Pilgrims Boltspritt ans was forced on ground togeather with
the Pilgrim and an other ship who lay by the Pilgrims side
And hee saith hee this deponent the better knoweth the premisses for that
hee was neere the Exeter Merchant in a wherrie of his owne till such tyme as theExeter
Merchant was turned on drift, and then hee went on board the Pilgrim
)out of which hee was to have receaved goods into his wherrie) by which meanes
hee came to knowe and see the oremisses predeposed touching the Exeter Merchants
falling fowle of the Pilgrim, And saith had not hee this deponent made haste
