Transcription

out presently for helpe And caused at least a hundred men out of other
shipps and from shoare to come aboard the Imployment to helpe them
to pumpe and bayle her and soe preserve her from sinkeing that they might get her to
shoare and stopp her leake receaved by the meanes aforesayd And
further to these articles hee cannot depose./

To the 12th article hee saith that the Master and Company of the Imployment
with the helpe they had soe procured did their utmost endeavour by
pumpeing and bayleing continually to have gotten the sayd shipp Imployment
aoe cleere as that they might have gotten her to shoare to have stopped her
leake, but could not get her a shoare till five tydes after shee bilged
upon the sayd Anchor as aforesayd, although during the sayd five tydes
the sayd Master of the Imployment kept sixty men and upwards besides the
Company of the Imployment to pumpe her and endeavour to get her on
shoare, and saith hee is well assured it could not choose but cost
the sayd Master of the Imployment a very considerable summe of money every
tyde to pay those who laboured aboard her, but the certaine summe
it soe cost them hee cannot depose this hee deposeth being aboard and an eye wittness of the premisses And further to this article hee
cannot depose/

To the 13th hee saith that hee well knoweth for that hee hath belonged to the sayd
shipp the Imployment hee saith that hee well knoweth for that hee hath belonged to the sayd
shipp the Imployment for about twelve moneths last past, that the sayd shipp before
shee received the damage predeposed of was a stronge staunch and sufficient
shipp, and saith shee is about three hundred tonns burthen, And hee saith
that the sayd shipp by her setting upon the Anchor aforesayd and by her
being hawled and heaved to shoare to stopp her leake receaved
by meanes of the sayd Anchor was much weakened shee being heavie
laden with Coales (whereof shee had delivered but a few) and heavie
with the water receaved into her, soe that in getting her to shoare much of her
tymber worke was unavoidably broken and much of her rigging
spoiled And this deponent verily beleeveth and is in his conscience perswaded that the damage done to her
by reason of her bilgeing upon the sayd Anchor and her being soe heaved and
hawled to shoare to be mended, will cost her owners in the repayres
thereof above twenty pounds sterling to make her in soe good condition
as shee was before shee bilged upon the sayd Anchor, And saith that
if the Imployment had not bin a tight stronge shipp shee might by the
meanes of the samage aforesayd have lost her whole hull, And hee saith
if shee had sunke in the midest of the River hee beleeveth it would have
cost a great summe of money to have had her weighed up shee being laden with
Coles And further to this article hee cannot depose./
