Transcription

To the 15th hee saith hee hath heard his father and other experienced seamen saye
that it is about five hundred and forty leagues betwixt Virginia and the Barbadoes
and about a thousand five hundred leagues betwixt Barbadoes and England And
saith as aforesaid it was in this deponents Judgement a thing impossible to fitt
and amend the shipp Anne at Virginia with such things as she there wanted to carry
her to the Barbados, and soe likewise at the Barbadoes to fitt her there with such
things as she had lost, and to amend her hull which was alsoe much preiudiced
and her forecastle torne both belowe and alofte, And further hee cannot depose

To the 16th hee saith the shipp Anne aforesayd in her course homeward
for London was of this deponents knowledge being one of her Company forced to put
into Plymouth by reason of Contrary windes, and alsoe to avoide being
taken by dunkirke or Ostend or other Spanish men of warr who this deponent
sawe hovering up and downe at sea upon that coast, and saith of his knowledge
the sayd ship Anne departed from Plymouth for London with the first oportunitie
of wynde and weather which offered itselfe And further cannot depose

To the last hee saith that in his this deponents Judgement and as he verily
beleeveth and is perswaded in his concience that in case the sayd shipp
Anne had endeavoured to have gone from Virginia to the Barbadoes
thence to England, shee being soe damnified in her hull and by losse of
her tackle as aforesayd (which dammage and losse of tackle could
not bee supplyed and amended neither at Virginia nor Barnadoes such
things requisite to mend her not being in those places to bee had) shee
had without doubt sunke and perished in the sea shee being of this deponents knowledge kept with continuall pumping night and day, after the dammage receaved And further hee
cannot depose/

To the Interrogatories [CENTRE HEADING]

To the first Interrogatorie hee saith hee cometh to testifie at the request
of Jeggles the producent who well know hee this deponent could not
choose but bee able to testifie therein but for that hee was aboard her the whole
voyage in question and saith hee was a foremast man of her and noe officer, And
hath receaved nothing nor expecteth any thing for his testimony And to
the rest of the Interrogatorie hee answereth negatively

To the 2 hee saith that to day the sayd Jeggles did overshoot the porte
early in the morning as aforesayd, was a Sunday and the sayd Jeggles
after a while doubting that hee had overshott the port of Porto Port in the darke of the
morning, did thereupon by observation of the latitude that hee was in,
observe, that hee was to the Southward of it, and thereupon made toward it, and
arrived before it againe upon the Monday morning, and then seeing boates
at sea, put out this auncient length waies in [?wesse], to cause the sayd boates,
to come to him, but the sayd boates companyes (fearing as this deponent beleeveth that
the shipp Ann had been some Turkish man of warr, they often frequenting
that coast) made away from her and then the sayd Jeggles discharged some
peeces of ordnance to envite a pylott on board, and none comming,
and night approaching, the sayd Jeggles stood off to Sea as is predeposed
that night ill weather happening, the sayd shipp did to prevent danger
of being driven ashoare as is predeposed, keepe out at sea, and was at length
driven Southward as farr as the Burlings And to the rest of the Interrogatorie
