also brought two of the sayd Crofords Company
aboard the Recovery to view the leakes and condition of the sayd shipp,
who at the request of the sayd Bartlett did accordingly make a view
of her and found her soe leakie and insufficient and soe destitute of
tackle and other necessaries that shee was not (as they sayd) in
their Judgment fitt to proceede on her voyage to London without being
first repayred of her leakes and rigging and other necessaries which

was about five or sixe dayes after shee left the Company of the Gilbert
