and other gunners store abord the said ship in her powder roome
all which was very wet, and almost quite spoiled, And saith
that the said damage that happened to the said Powder Match
Paper, and Gunners Store, by reason of the said Bilging, did
amount unto tenne pounds sterling, or neere thereabouts.
This hee knoweth being Gunner of the said ship the Warewell
the said time, and further cannot depose./

To the 6th hee saith that by reason of the said bilging the

Labourers and workmen in haleing her to shore and

in the River of Thames, had not the said Damage happened

the Warewell was bilged did as this deponent verily beleeveth

of such his beleefe is for that the halser of the said

the said Anchor, and upon the weighing up of the said Anchor
they found that one of the flookes of the said Anchor was broken and
the shanke and the other fflooke bent. And further Cannot depose

To the 10th and 11th hee saith the said Anchor belonging to the said
Dutch ship. and whereupon the said ship the Warewell was (as
hee verily beleeveth) bilged as aforesaid was case and did
lye in a very Convenient Place for ships birthes, and saith
that Masters of shipps doe not use to cast their Anchors in such
places. neither ought they soe to doe, by the Custome
