taken running away with the sayd shipps boate and some goods which
the said Viber and his mate had imbezelled from on board the sayd
shipp and brought back with some of the goods with them, they
the sayd Viber and his mate having as he hath heard heaved overboard some of the

till she had delivered their outward Cargo, and then the said Captaine
Tottey spake to this deponent being his cheife mate and willed him to tell
the sayd Viber that hee might goe on shoare and take his cloathes with him
and bee gone, and the sayd Tottey told this deponent that hee would not be seene
in it nor take any notice of it or to that effect, and this deponent thereupon did

of this Commonwealth and having gotten enterteynement there caused alsoe
an apprentice which hee the sayd Yiber had and remayned still on board
the Edward and John to bee taken away from her and put aboard

Tottey and the sayd Captaine Miunes his men who came to fetch
sayd apprentice and the sayd Tottey calling them rogues and
[XXXs] for coming to fetch the sayd Apprentice from him and refused to let him goe
whereupon they returned to the ffrigott without the sayd

the sayd Prentice perforce and Commanded the sayd Captaine Totty
to goe with them aboard the sayd ffrigott to Captaine Minnes which

that they should not bee questioned or troubled for these fower which
were escaped for hee had fower others on board that had noe Masters with
whome he would supply the want of these or words to that effect
