And hee saith hee hath heard that the sayed Tottie had a discharge
for them from the sayed Generall Sedgewick afterwards, they being

To the 5th hee saith hee knoweth that two of the sayd

were both fastened to one Anchor the better to make them hold, yet
upon weighing of the anchor they both brake with the weight
of the anchor and the Anchor was lost not with standing their deponeth others of the company
did doo their best endeavour for the preservation of it and Turpin the
masters mate did much endanger him selfe and stood up to the
arme pitts in water to fasten a roape to the anchor to save it from
looseing, but could not and further to their article hee cannot depose/

To the 6th hee saith that this deponent and the rest of the sayd shipps
company did doo their best endeavour during the sayd voyage to
preserve the sayed shipp her tackle and lading and hee saith that the
shipp being arrived at Greenewich with her homeward ladeing (all
save what shee delivered before her comming thither) and a lighter
being there ready to receave some goods on board her, the sayd
Tottie commanded the sayed lighter to bee laden with goods, and
in order thereto the sayd shipps company did lade divers goods from
on board into her and romeaging among the goods on board found
then that some a sugar caske on board was halfe empty of sugar
whereupon the sayd huggery told the sayd Master thereof, whereto
the sayed Master replyed that the company must then pay for it, and
thereupon the sayd huggery and company desyred the sayd Tottie that
before any more goods were unladen a survey bee made by
order
