roome with the Abigail, and not to come soe neere the
Agreement for feare of coming foule of her, or to that
effect, and alsoe desired them to put ther helme a port
and verily beleeveth the Company the Abigails Deck did
heare the foresaid words. But Notwithstanding they would
not take more roome with their said ship the Abgigail
nor keepe further aft (OR, off) of the Agreement nor put their Helme
a port, but (bearing to windward) put their Helme a
starrboard, and ranne ?Stemling with the Agreement,
?Such the Company of the Agreement that were on her
Deck perceived, they did Imediately call up all or the greatest
part of the Agreements Company upon her deck, and they
did beare up with the said Ship the Agreement and did
all that possibly men in such a Case could do: to prevent
the Abigails coming upon the The premisses hee deposeth
being the foresaid time on the Agreements Deck
and one that called out to the Abigails company to the
effect aforesaid, and did alsoe helpe and doe his endeavour in
preventing the Abgail Coming upon the Agreement and further
deposeth not./:

To the 3d and 4th hee saith that Notwithstanding the meanes used
by the Company of the Agreement as aforesaid the said Lavezick
and Company did either in a willfull or carless manner
come after the said Ship the Agreement with a greate Saile
having all her sailes standing, and before the winde
and likewise in a willfull or careless manner came up
to the said Ship the Agreement and glanced by her, and onely
touched her Bow and quarter, and having soe done came
round, and sailed towards the South Shore, and the Agreement
kept on her Course, and the Abigaile never touched the
Agreement after that time, nor the Agreement her: And saith
that at the said time when the Abigail glanced by the Agreement
and touched her bowe and quarter as aforesaid the Abigaile was to windeward
of the Agreement and saith it was Impossible for the Agreement
to come foule of the Abigaile the said time, And saith that
had not the Company of the Agreement as aforesaid
used all meanes and dilligence to avoid the Abigail, the Abigail
would undoubtedly runne directly upon the Midships of
the Agreement and by that meanes sinke her and her Lading
Imediately: Which hee deposeth seeing the premisses And
further Deposeth not:
