Masters to pay the whole wages due any voyage till the shipp bee delievered
(which the sayd shipp yet is not) And to the rest of Interrogatie
hee answereth negatively for his part and otherwise cannot answere/

To the 2 hee saith that there was a necessitie that the willing wynde must
beare sayle in manner aforesayd or also loose the Company of their
convoyes, and thereby insurre eminent danger of being taken by enemies
of this Commonwealth, and saith shee boare sayle as aforesayd only to keepe
the Convoyes compnay and avoide danger as aforesayd, and beleeveth if shee had
not soe borne sayle the damage by water had not happened nor the sayd
shipp proved leakie./

To the 3 hee saith the paper was stowed in the sayd shipp afore and abaft the salt, by it selfe and not
under it the salt, neither did this deponent ever knowe salts stowed
upon paper, or paper upon salt, and thereby knoweth
not what damage may come by stowing paper soe, and saith there was
damage done to some salt, brandie wine, and vinegar on board the sayd shipp
but the quanitite or value thereof hee knoweth not, And further hee cannot
answere./

To the 4th hee saith the stormy weather predeposed was not extraordinary
but such foule weather as usually shipps meete with And hee beleeveth
in his conscience that had not the sayd shipp bin soe forced to
beare sayle were then extraordinary to keepe company with the sayd
Convoyes, and avoide danger of surprizall by enimies as aforesayd,
the stormie weather aforesayd would not have caused her to take in
water soe as to spoile her ladeing, shee being (otherwise then by reason
of such beareing sayle) a tight shipp And further hee cannot answere/
