To the 9. 10. and 11th. articles he saith … To the 9. 10. and 11th. articles he saith That the sayd shipp having suffered so much<br />
in the sayd storme was of necessity to be fitted with what she lacked before shee<br />
could proceed on her voyage for London, To which purpose the sayd Barnhide<br />
(Gusthaven not affording such things) did goe to Christian=Sandt in Norway<br />
and there provided a new mast which was fitted and sett upp, on board<br />
the ''Hope'', and allso two anchors and some sayles and Cordage such as that place<br />
afforded. And he borrowed seventy Rijx dollars of his shipps Company<br />
towards the paying for the sayd things; and had allso some moneyes from one<br />
[?Peninck] (but how much he knoweth not). and allso sold a bundle of hempe<br />
for the same purpose, but for how much he knoweth not. neyther knoweth he<br />
what the sayd things cost. And he saith that for the fitting of the sayd shipp<br />
seaven weekes were spent, and then she departed for London but was<br />
forced by Crosse winds into Flackery as is allegat and there stayed<br />
about eight dayes, and then comng for England and this Port<br />
of London, the winds att length not favouring, did putt into Newcastle<br />
about the beginning of december last. All which he knoweth being<br />
of her Company as aforesayd. And otherwise he cannot depose.
To the 12. 13. 14. and 15th articles he saith that the ''hope'' stayed att Newcastle about<br />
four dayes in which tyme the sayd Barnhide hired one Holland a pilot there<br />
to bring the sayd shipp to London, which the sayd Holland undertooke to doe<br />
and did after about eight dayes bring her and her lading to Harwich<br />
whither she came in a morning and stayd not there for that there was<br />
the ''Hare pinke'' being an English man of warr and a Ketch, and an hoy<br />
then departing for London, and the Captaine of the sayd Pinke promising to<br />
Convoy the ''Hope'' to her Port, the sayd Pinke, ketch, and hoy sett sayle and<br />
lead the way, and the ''Hope'' followed them having her foresayd Pilott<br />
still on board her, And in the afternoone <u>of the</u> same day the sayd vessells<br />
sayling as aforesayd came upon the Sands arlate. and the Pinke and ''Hope''<br />
stuck fast. And the sayd Pinke within a small tyme was beaten in peices<br />
and perished, and the ''Hope'' stuck so fast that though all possible meanes<br />
were used she could not be gott off. thereupon the Company of the Pinke<br />
being about thirty persons not being able to gett all safe a shoare in their<br />
owne boat which was but small did endeavour to gett the ''Hopes'' boat which<br />
the sayd Barnhide and Company would not part with, but, desiring to stay by<br />
their ship to loose her if possible, kept their boat to save their owne<br />
lives if the case should come to extremity. Of the premisses he was an eye=<br />
witnes and otherwise cannot depose.
To the 16. and 17th. articles he saith That att length four of the ''Hare pinkes''<br />
Company gott into the ''Hopes'' boat, and acquainted the sayd Barnhide of the danger that<br />
might befall him if the rest of the ''Hares'' Company should take his boat from<br />
him, saying that they did intend so to doe, whereupon the sayd Barnhide and<br />
his Company finding their endeavours to gett their shipp off the Sands to be<br />
fruitlesse, and being sollicited by the sayd four persons as aforesayd did with<br />
them goe to shoare in their sayd boat. And the sayd shipp ''Hope'' before her<br />
Master and Company so left her had receyved much water in her hold, the<br />
Premisses he knoweth being then present aboard her. And otherwise he cannot<br />
depose, saving that the sayd disasters happened about three leagues<br />
from shoare, and that it was midnight before the ''Hopes'' boat with the people<br />
in her came to shoare, and saving that there was noe towne there and but<br />
one little howse, and that noe helpe could be heard of to gett off the sayd<br />
shipp from the Sands, and that afterwards there was newes that some ffishermen<br />
had gotten her loose and were carrying her for London whereupon the sayd<br />
Barnhide and Company came up to this Port.
Tohide and Company came up to this Port.
