shipp and to prevent receaving any dammage from her or doeing any
dammage to her which not withstanding the sayd Otters shipp coming
with full sayle rammed aboard the samuell and brake downe her stemme and
head and her forecastle and brake downe three beames in her forecastle and carried
downe her upper deck of her forecastle and brake p a planke of her forechainell
and brake down her fore hartch to the great endangering of the fyering of
the sayd shipp Samuell if all speedy diligence to quench the same had not
by her company bin forthwith used and did her there much hurt and damage X and
also much endangered the sinkeing of her whereby shee became soe leakie
that the sayd Lee and Company had much a doe to keepe her afloate and for the
better prevention of the danger of her sinkeing were forced to put in with
her at Scarborough (shee not being able to endure the Sea any farther)
this hee deposeth of his owne sight and knowledge being one of the Company
of the Samuell and assisting as much as might bee to have prevented
the sayd disaster And further to these articles hee cannot depose not knowing
as what to estimate the dammage done to Samuell by the meanes aforesayd

To the 3 hee saith the sayd Otters shipp having by the meanes aforesayd
alsoe receaved damage, the sayd Otter although hee might with better
convenience have gained Scarborough and bin there longe before the Samuell
arrived there, did steere his course towards whitby with is about fower
leagues to the Northward of Scarborough and further distant then Scarborough
from the place where the sayd disaster happened and night approaching ere
hee Could gett to Whitby the sayd Otter (as afterward appeared) rann her
into Robin hoods bay where she bilged upon a Rock and did much preiudice

upon the Rock the sayd Otter did save ˹all˺ his sayd shipps Masts sayles yards
Anchors Cables boats g and gunnes this ˹hee˺ deposeth for that hee knoweth they
were brought to Scarborough and solde And this deponent saith hee heard one
McBracken a Carpenter at Scarborough who bought the masts and yardes
of the sayd shipp of the sayd Otter sayd that the sayd Otter did alsoe sell
the hull of his sayd shipp for about fifteene pounds sterling, And saith
hee hath heard that soon after the bilgeing of the sayd shipp upon the Rock
aforesayd the sayd Otter was offered a considerable price for his ladeing
of Coales, which there refused saying hee would have such price for them as
they would have affoarded at Whitby Markett if they had come thither ˹or to the effect˺ and
that afterward the shipp being afterwards more bruised upon the rock and
noe hope of getting of her off thence the sayd Otter was then offered Tenn
pounds for his sayd Coales and refused to take the same, but afterwards
sold them for such rates as hee could gett but what money hee made of
them hee hath not heard, this which hee deposeth upon hearesay hee heard from one who came a passenger
in the Samuell from Newcastle untill such tyme as shee was soe dammaged
by the sayd Otters shipp, at which ˹tyme˺ the sayd Passenger fearing the Samuell
would sinke forsook the Samuell and went into the sayd Otters shipp for
his better security and after the sayd Otters shipp was soe bilged came to
Scarborough And further to this article hee cannot depose/
