Accompt of the sayd Bulkley And saith hee did observe and
take note that the sayd hydes at the tyme of their ladeing were
all good and Merchantable And further to this Interrogatorie hee cannot
depose/

To the third Interrogatorie hee saith the sayd shipp departed from her last
Port in New England (which was Salem) in the moneth of August 1654
but the certayne day hee remembreth not, and saith that hee this deponent
did well observe that during her whole voyage from Southampton to New
England and during her staye there and at the tyme of her departure thense
shee was a tight stanche shipp and in good condition to performe her
voyage and was then at her departure from New England worth in this
deponents Judgment five hundred pounds sterling and saith at such
her departure and during the whole voyage in question the Interrogate
William Bulkley was Commonly reputed the true lawfull and sole Owner

Interrogatorie hee cannot depose./

sea, and her Kedge Anchor beaten in upon the deck on the weather side
and one of her hatches (although the same was well calked and
strapped) was by force of the sea beaten opon, and shee thereby receaved
much water betwixt decks in soe much that this deponent and
Edward Milbury the Master and some others of the sayd shipps Company
stood up to the Knees in water to helpe to cleere her, and the sayd
shipp was soe shattered in her hull by the sayd storme that shee
thereby proved very leakie and tooke in much water into her hold,
and her seames in her transum were soe opened that there tooke in
much water at them, soe that her company were forced to worke at the
pumpe every glasse two spells at least to keepe her
