Johannnes Harrison parochias sancta Catherine prope
turim London Nauta, aetatis 40 annorum aut eo
circiter testis productus et juratus.

Ad secundum arlum dicte allegaconis deponit et dicit that hee well
knoweth the ship the Jonathan and Abigail arlate going all the voyage
in question in her and being one of her company, and saith that at such
time as shee went forth from this port of London upon the said voyage
(which was about this time two yeeres) she was leakie and insufficient
which hee perceived assoone as shee came to sea, shee not being well caulked, and
as hee verily beleeveth shee was not caulked from the time of her retourne
from a Newcastle voyage which shee had made shortly before her freighting
for the voyage in question, but was let to freight and sett out to sea
in the same condition as shee came from the said Newcastle voyage, Et
alre nescit.

[ADD DATA]

To the fourth article hee saith and deposeth that the said voyage outward
bound the said shipp was very leakie above water, and the hathces
of her gun roome decke fore and afte and the gundeck it selfe
through want of caulking were very leakie, and saith that there were
noe scuppers in the forecastle steerage or the gun deck as
ought to be in all shipps imployed in the like voyages to convery the
watyer which comes in over the shipps sides, out of her, and to convey
that which comes in at her ports and sides or from aloft, downe betwixt
her timbers to preserve the merchant goods from wet and dammage
which otherwise must unavoydably be damnified with water
alr nescit.

To the fifth article hee saith and deposeth that the said shipp in her said
outward voyage received in soe much water, and the same stood in
soe greate abundance upon the gun deck, that the mariners in her were
in greate perill of their lives, and to preserve the shipp from sinking
they were dforced not only to keepe both the pumpes going when they mett
with stormie or fowle weather, but like wise to cutt holes in the
gun deck to lett the water down into the hold, whereby the merchants goods
tooke wet and dammage, and this hee saith happened and was donne
in the space of 14 or 16 dayes or thereabouts next after the said shippe
going out of the downes on the said voyage, reddene recondur ut supra
alr nescit.

Ad 6 arlum deponit that by reason of such the insufficiencie of the
said shipp the Jonathan and Abigail in her outward bound voyage, a
greate
