tacking about with intent to get windewards of the ffrench shipp the Peace

a more Easterly course than hee did and that the sayd Thomas thereupon
answered him the sayd Robert Grove and sayd hee should not watch him to
finde the Barbados for he could tell well enough here to finde it
though hee had not bin there yet, and soe the sayd Thomas
Grove holding on his course did not of this deponents sight and knowledge come with his shipp into the

November 1657 arrived with the Pease at Nevis And further to
