Transcription

and candles, which hee saith were all very good sorts of those provisions, and
such as manifested that if the said Wingaerts had come while the maarket
lasted namely before the end of lent or that the Gallions were furnished
(as hee was expected to doe but did not) hee would have come with his
cargo to a soeciall good market and his goods would have yeelded very much
proffit, but in truth (as his pilot told this deponent while hee was soe
aboard) hee the said Wingaerts by putting into soe many severall ports and
neglecting the oportunities of winde and weather and through want of
one skilfull to pilot the shipp for dublin, the merchants designe was
overthrowne or to that effect, and to the same purpose it was declared by
other of the said Wingaerts men in this deponents hearing. And further the
said Oilot or masters mate said that hee was shipped as masters mate, and
that the said Wingaerts undertooke to be skilfull emough to pilot the shipp for
dublin himselfe, but the said mate found that when hee came on those coasts
the master was unacquainted with the course, and had farr overshott his
port adding withall tyhat had not the said Wingaerts borne up for the
downes, nor gonne into Waterford, they might have made their voyage from
holland to Ireland, Cadiz, Mallaga and back to London before they had
then (as the matter was carried through the masters neglect) dispatched
from Ireland. Moreover hee deposeth that about three weekes since
this deponent meeting the said mate in Saint Catherins neare London and falling againe
into discourse about the said shipp the Golden Sun her said voyage, and
this deponent (who had heard that they had the company of a shipp called
the fflower de luna which plied on her voyage, when they bore up againe
with the Golden Sun in the downes) asking him why they kept not their
voyage on with the fflower de luna, the said mate answered, that the
fflower de luna sailed by the voyage, but the Golden Sun by the moneth,
which words hee having uttered blushed, and seemed sorry for
having made that acknowledgement. And further deposeth not, saving
that at Cadiz before the arivall of the said shipp the Golden Sun this deponent
heard Mr Wilky a factor there and his partner who expected her, much
lamment her long stay and complaine thereof, in regard the market was
then soe good that shee could not have come to a better, and that the
merchants had lost the best voyage that had bin made in a longe space, or
to the same effect.
