her master and company were forced to run her (having sprung

such her comming ashore, and saith her master was commonly
called Arent Marinis.

To the second and third hee saith that upon the said running of the said
shipp a ground neere the place a foresaid the said master and
most of his company came ashore and used every meanes and
diligence for preservation of her and her lading, and the next morning began
to take goods out of her, and provided boates and carts to carry
away the said shipps lading to preserve and lay it up
for the owners use, which hee knoweth being one of those that were
imployed therein by the said master, and helping to take out some
of the said goods. And saith that while the said master and company

taking out of goods from the said shipp for their preservation, and
had carts and boates by the said shipps side readie to carry them away,
one called mr howe (said to be steward to the earle of Arundell)
came downe to the said place to the shipps side, and this deponent
speaking to him and saying, hee thought the best anchor and
cable were due to my lord of Arundell for groundage, to which the
said mr howe answered and said, if the best anchor and cable are
due to my lord, the whole shipp and lading are due to him, and
therefore I seize upon all, or words to the same effect, And
otherwise hee cannot depose.
