To Barbados and thence to New England (and touched at Mevis and
Saint Christophers by the way, and delivered, and tooke in goods there)
and from New England back to Barbados againe (at all which
places hee traded) and thence to Virginia and saith by order of the
sayd Edmund Cowse and saith that with sayd shipps passage
betwixt Barbadoes and Virginia, shee mett with very stormy
and tempestious weather which soe shattered and bruised her hull
and broke her forecastle and did her other dammage in her hull and
and to sayles cordage tackle and furniture ˹that it˺ and caused her ˹to˺ loose her
foremast foretop sayle, sayles yardes and all her rigging except
her foreyard and foresayle, which were alsoe much damnified, yet
with the helpe of them the sayd Jeggles gett her safe to Virginia, whence
hee was constrained to staye till April last 1656 before hee could
make her in any measure fitt to goe to sea againe, though the
sayd Jeggles of this deponents knowledge did in that tyme of her
staye there doe what hee could to fitt her with such things as shee
wanted make her fitt to returne thence to Barbados but in respect Virginia is a place where sayles cordage and xxxx xxx such other things
as shee wanted (except masts) were not to bee had, the sayd Jeggles
was forced to make shrrades and other tackle of old hawsers and
other old cordage which they procured from other shipps then in
Virginia, and to mend and patch up old sayles which were aboard
the Anne and layd by as things soe badd as not to bee made use of
and therewith with much difficulty made her in such a Capacity that
shee was able to gett thence to England but could not there fitt her soe as
to make her in a capacity to goe soe long a voyage as back from
Virginia to the Barbados and thence to England, And this deponent well
knoweth that had shee bin able to have gott back to Barbadoes yet
Barbadoes is alsoe a place where Cordage, sayles and such other things
as shee wanted are not there to bee had unlesse by chance other
shipps that are there have such things to spare and more than what
they have use for And further to these articles hee cannot depose

To the 12th saith that of his this deponents knowledge the sayd Jeggles
did send up and downe in Virginia to Nausemum Rapahannuck
and Potomack and other places to procure ladeing for his sayd shipp
either for England Holland or Ireland but by reason of his long
staye to fitt the sayd shipp with necessaries which shee wanted and
for that many shipps came in to Virginia and goods were then there
scarce to bee gotten the sayd Jeggles notwithstanding such his
endeavour could get only one hundred fifty eight hogsheads of tobaccoe
upon freight for severall planters of Virginia and fower hogsheads
of tobaccoe or thereabouts for Accompt of the sayd Edmund Cowse and
about
