Transcription

after such his Comming aboard the sayd shipp at Gravesend did well
observe (and indeede it was a thing apparent to all the sayd shipps
Company and the passengers and could not but be taken notice of by them)
that the sayd Wareing was a very wilfull and perverse man
matters of pilotting the sayd shipp betwixt Gravesend and the downes
and would harken to noe bodies advice and was much given to
curse and swear And this deponent saith that the sea running somwhat
high so that the shipp did not feele her helme presently according
to his the sayd Warings mynde as sometymes will happen to all shipps the sayd Waring in presense
and hearing of this deponent and divers others of the Company and passengers
of the sayd shipp fell a curseing and swearing and used these or the like
words in effect videlicet Is this shipp the Exchange, a pox take her,
the devill roll her and splitt her to peeces And hee further saith
that about the latter end of October or beginning of November 1654
the sayd shipp comming near a place called the Boies not
farr from the Gore or Reculvers
which boyes are to give notice of severall
dangerous sands lying thereabout, the sayd William Wilkinson
the Master of the sayd shipp and this deponent and divers of the shipps
company observing that the shipp was in three fathoms water
or thereabouts and was in their judgement in some danger, and that the
sayd Wareing tooke noe notice of such her danger, the sayd Master
and this deponent and divers of the sayd shipps company having
discovered the boyes aforesayd gave the sayd Waring notice thereof
and desyred him that he would bring the shipp to an Anchor and the
sayd Waring thereupon fell a curseing and swearing by Gods wounds
and Gods harte and the like oathes, and bid the divell splitt her meaning the sayd shipp or words to that
effect, and notwithstanding the Master and others of the shipps
Company diswaded him and this deponent told him that there was too
much winde stirring and too much sayle up all ready, yet hee the
sayd Waring in a wilfull and crosse manner commanded and
caused the sayd shipps Company to sett up the mayne sayle, and
would not come to an Anchor as he was desyred to do, by which
his obstinancie and willfullnes the winds blowing strongly the
sayd shipp was soon after severall tymes violently struck upon the sands
, and thereby lost her Rudder and was otherwise very much
hurt and damnified, and the sayd Waring seeing the Rudder lost
and the winds continued high, then and not before caused the sayd
shipps company to bring her to an Anchor among the sands, he
not being able then to governe her for want of the Rudder, and
after shee had so rode at Anchor a while the Master and Company
seeing the eminent danger that the sayd shipp and goods and the lives
of
