'''Thomas War[?mes]''' of Poplar neer Blackwall in the County<br />
of Middlesex Shipwright, aged 28 yeares or thereabouts sworne<br />
and examined
To the fourth article of the said allegation (upon which alone hee is examined<br />

was at the Barbadas at such time as the shipp the ''Angell'' arlate<br />
(Roger [?Hormer] commannder) the voyage in question came and arived<br />

other sufficient and able shipwrights to see whether shee could nee<br />
made fitt and serviceable to saile to Virginia, and upon such inspection<br />
they all found and agreed in their opinions that shee was altogether<br />
unfitt and insufficient to proceede any more to sea, nor was there<br />
any possibilitie of fitting her and making her serviceable here (neamely at the Barbadas)<br />
inasmuch as there was neither masts, yards, planck nor timber<br />
there to be gotten that was fitt or convenient for the repairing her,<br />
soe that shee must of necessitie be broken up or lie as an unserviceable<br />
wrack; and saith shee came to the Barbadas in a very pittifull<br />
condition, and as a meere wreck, having not a mast standing but<br />
her fore mast which was soe cracked that when shee came to cast off her<br />
shrowds, the said foremast [?rowled] by the board, and saith that in the<br />
iudgement and estimation of this deponent and of his fellowe-viewers<br />
the said shipp came and was put into such a wrecked condition by the<br />
stresse of weather and stormes and casualties of the seas wherewith shee<br />
had met the said voyage before her said arivall at the Barbada's. And<br />
otherwise hee cannot depose.
