Company of the Providence to keepe the shipp Providence to the windeward
which this deponent and company did, but seeing and observing that the sayd
Lee and Company did notwith standing it appeared they well understood the
signes made unto them, not beare up but hold on their course with the shipp
Samuell by which meanes they (unlesse some tymely course were taken to
prevent the same the shipp Samuell would undoubtedly come fowle of
Providence) this deponent and Company of the Providence to prevent as much
as in them lay any mischeife which might ensue upon the Samuells holding
on her course and not bearing up as desyred) did put the Providence on the
stayes and turned her out of the Samuells course, and called to the
sayd Lee and his Company of the Samuell to doe the like in regard they
did not beare up as they were before desyred and told them that if they did
not either beare up with their shipp Samuell or put her on the stayes shee
would unavoidably fall fowle of the Providence, all which the sayd [?XXXX GUTTER]
and Company of the Samuell might (and did as hee beleeveth) very well heare
and observe, but tooke noe care either to beare up with the Samuell or
put her upon the stayes but kept on their direct course with her and by
that meanes with full sayles did in a carelesse and willfull manner
runne the steme of the Samuell right upon the midshipp of the Providence
and thereby the sayd shipp Providence and her ladeing of coales
were utterley lost and perished in the sea or company hath likewise perished but that they for the [?saveing GUTTER]
of their lives seeing her sunke soe deepe that the water came
into the mens Cabbins as the gunne roome notwithstanding they used their utmost endeavour labouring with two pumpes to [XXXXXXX] made a shift to runne
her a shoare soe as to save their lives though they could not preserve the
sayd shipp Providence and her ladeing All which had with ease bin [?XXX GUTTER]
and the Providence and her ladeing had not perished if the sayd Lee and
Company of the Samuell had borne up with their sayd shipp or [?brought GUTTER]
her on the stayes as were by this deponent and company desyred
and advised to doe, and might very easily have done if they had pleased
soe that the sayd losse and dammage came of this deponents [?knowledge GUTTER]
meerely by the fault of the sayd Lee and company and through [?the GUTTER]
either willfull or negligent guideing and ordering of their sayd
shipp the Samuell And further to those articles hee cannot depose/

To the 7th article of the sayd libell hee saith that the shipp the Providence
at the tyme shee and her ladeing of coales were soe suncke which was about the [?XXth] day of September [XXXX] was a
new shipp it being her second voyage that ever shee had made, and was
about sixty foote longe in the Keele and twenty foote wide and all her
tackle apparrell and furniture very good, and in this deponents Judgement
shee and her ladeing of Coales were at they tyme aforesayd very well
worth seaven hundred and fifty pounds sterling and better and so much
they would have yeilded if they had not bin soe suncke as aforesayd the
premisses hee deposeth of his owne sight and knowledge being Master of her as
aforesayd And further cannot depose/

To the 8th hee saith that the arlate Lawe, Cooper and Company besides
the losse of the sayd shipp the Providence and her ladeing of Coales are
otherwise dammified to the value of one hundred pounds sterling and
more for want of the sayd shipp to use in their merchandizing imployment
