He was examined in &quot;A busines of ensurance on the behalfe of John Steevens of Lee in the County of Essex mariner concerning an average susteyned in the shipp ''London''.&lt;ref&gt;[[HCA 13/70 f.408v Annotate|HCA 13/70 f.408v]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The case concerned a claim for insurance on the ship the ''London'', which had been badly damaged in a six day long storm ten leagues off Yarmouth. The crew had been forced to cut away cables, anchors and ropes, and had lost a large brass gun over the side.

He had known the ship the ''London'' for twenty of those years, and had been her gunner at the time of the storm. He described the ship &quot;riding at anchor with the ffleete under the command of Generall Monke off of Yarmouth&quot; when &quot;there happened a most strange, violent and tempestuous storme&quot; which William Lary &quot;never saw the like though he hath bin in many&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;[[HCA 13/70 f.409r Annotate|HCA 13/70 f.409r]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Comment on sources==</div>
