To the first Interrogatory hee deposeth that hee this deponent is<br />
Stiersman or masters mate of the shipp the ''Tobias'' of Lubeck<br />
interrogated, and saith Captaine Penn seized or made stay of the said shipp<br />
in Marget Roade as shee laye at anchor, the said Captaine<br />
Penn being then in company of Captaine Keiser who was in another<br />
of the Parliaments shipps, which hee knoweth because hee this<br />
deponent was then in the said shipp the ''Tobias''.
To the second hee saith that the said shipp ''Tobias'' is a newe shipp<br />
and was built but last winter at Lubeck, and that the builders and owners<br />
of her were Peter Meyer a citizen and merchant of Lubeck, hendrick<br />
Bremer alsoe citizen and Merchant of Lubeck and Matthias [?Road]<br />
a Magistrate and Merchant of Lubeck, and other Lubeckers whose<br />
names hee nowe remembreth not, and saith shee was built at their<br />
charges, and that (soe farr as hee knoweth) this is the first voyage that ever shee went out<br />
upon to sea.
To the third hee deposeth that the said shipp when shee was staid was<br />
bound and going for Cadiz in Spaine as this deponent was informed<br />
by the Skipper who shipped him for that place, but this deponent<br />
knoweth not with what goods shee was laden, in asmuch as hee never was<br />
in holde but once upon occasion of stowing three tonnes of flax<br />
for his owne accompt when the shipp was ready to sett saile, before<br />
which time hee came not upon her, it not being the custome<br />
in those parts for the Stiersman to come aboard till the shipp be<br />
ready to saile, and when hee soe stowed his three tonnes of flax (which<br />
was at Lubeck) hee sawe some pipe staves and chests downe in the<br />
