desyred the sayd Moulson that in respect of the danger of the shipp and
her goods and the lives of her Company and passengers hee would make for
the next port that could bee gotten to but the sayd Moulson being desyrous
still to goe to Virginia if possible did still stope his course thitherwards
and the storme still continueing and the company being much wearied
with pumpeing they did at length threaten the sayd Moulson to nyale
him up in his Cabbin of hee would not alter his course and
make for some other port whoch they might gaine with more safety
than to Virginia Where and sayd they would themselves carrie
her to some other port neerer hand whereupon the sayd Moulson seeing
1his Company and the passengers soe desyrous to make to the next port
they could conveniently gett to and knowing that they were unskillfull
to get to any port did saye that hee knew their unskillfullnesse to
bring her to any port and that therefore hee was contented to alter his
course though hee had a great desyre to have gone to Virginia, and
soe for safety of the shipp and goods and their lives sett sayle
for Antego and there arrived with great labour of the company and
passengeres in continuall pumpeing in the moneth of January
aforesayd 1654 English style. And further to these articles
hee cannot depose/

To the 16th hee saith hee cannot depose for that hee was not present
when the protest arlate was made./

To the 17th and eighteenth hee saith hee this deponent being Carpenter
of the Unitie as aforesayd the voyage aforesayd well knoweth that at
her arrivall at Antego shee was utterly unfitt to goe thense upon the
Island of Antego for fower moneths after his comming thither and
in that tyme visiting most of the places upon the sayd Islands knoweth
that there was but one shipp Carpenter beside this deponent there to
bee had, and that materialls such as the sayd shipp Unitie wanted
ebing soe much and in soe severall wayes damnified by the sayd
stormes as shee was, were not there to bee gotten to fitt her for her
voyage to Virginia, And further hee cannot depose for that hee was
not present at the view made nor knoweth what returne the viewers
made in writeing thereupon, but saith hee this deponent and the rest
of the sayd shipps company did certifie under their hands the
insufficiencies of the sayd shipp to proceede on her voyage to Virginia
and did take their oathes before the foresayd Christopher Kennett
Esquire the then Governor of Antego of the truth thereof, and utterly
refused before the sayd Governor to goe any further to Sea in her unlesse
shee could bee repaired, which hee this deponent is confidently assured
for the reasons aforesayd could not there be done./

To the 19th 20th and 21th hee saith hee knoweth that after the sayd shipps arrivall at
Antego severall of the passengers dyed before they could be disposed of
by the sayd Moulson and saith hee knoweth that the sayd Moulson was by
suite
