To the first and second Interrogatories hee saith and deposeth that

at Bourdeaux in ffrance, whence hee saith shee came
about second of November last, bound for Plimouth, which

office hee went from Plimouth in her; And saith hee well
knoweth the arlate Josias Pickes of Plimouth Merchant
who hee saith was the time of such her departure from Bourdeaux
the said voyage, a part owner of her, and of her tackle, apparell
and furniture, namely of a third part or neere thereabouts and
for such commonly accounted, and was a part builder of her. And
otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the third and fourth hee saith that the said shipp in company
of a ffleete of Merchantmen departed from Bourdeaux the time
aforesaid for Saint Martins there to take Convoy, and accordingly
at Saint Martins shee had and tooke Convoy, which Convoy
accompanied and Convoyed her towards Plimouth, and untill [XX GUTTER]

(as this deponent guesseth at the distance) and there left her,
the said Convoy with other shipps bearing away for the downes
with the winde at South or South South East, and the Industrie
for Plimouth; And further that the said shipp in prosecution of
her said voyage for Plimouth, about seaven houres after the

upon, surprized and taken by an Ostend Man of warr, and
carried to Ostend, which hee knoweth being carried thither in the
said man of warr in her company, into which man of warr hee [?was GUTTER]
taken out of the Industrie, which was soe seized in or about the
sixth of december last, and brought into Ostend on the
tenth of the same and soe the said shipp was and is wholly lost
and the said Pickes hath therein lost his said share or part
which interest hee had in her to the time of the said seizure and
losse.
