Rp. .j.

Giles Baily of the parish of Saint Mary Magdalen
Bermondsea Mariner, aged 30 yeeres or
thereabouts sworne and exámined.

11. To the fourth article of the said allegation hee saith and deposeth that
12. hee well knoweth the arlate James Reade and Morgan Jonas, and
13. saith the said Morgan Jona's was shipped for and went Master of the shipp
14. the Golden ffortune the voyage allegate, and tooke the governement of
15. the said shipp upon him for the said voyage, of this deponents sight and
16. knowledge, this deponent being second mate unto him in
17. the same. And saith that the said shipp the said voyage, from the time
18. of her issuing or going out of the Gararchicho in the Iland of Teneriff, to
19. the time of her comming to the an anchor in the Roade of Palma spent
20. eight dayes speace or thereabouts, and went once about the said Iland
21. of Palma before shee could finde the said roade, And otherwise hee
22. cannot depose, saving what followeth.

23. To the fifth article hee saith and deposeth that after the dispacth of the said
24. shipp and goods aboard her from the said Iland of Palma, the said
25. Morgan Jonas was by order of the producents Edmund and James Cowse
26. or their agents (as this deponent was informed) to saile the said shipp
27. directly to the Iland of Barbada's, but through the unskilfulnes or carelessnes
28. of the said Jone's the said Iland of Barbado's was overshott by the said
29. shipp, soe much, that shee was nine dayes or thereabouts more then shee
30. needed to have bin in gaining and seaking her port in the said Iland
31. which hee knoweth being his second mate, and going the said voyage in the
32. said shipp, and as touching the unskilfulnes of the said Jonas, hee saith
33. hee cannot otherwise depose thereof, than that the observation made from
34. time to time by the said Jonas of the sun at Noone, was thirtie minutes
35. or halfe a degree to the Southward of the observation of this deponent and
36. of William Trutter the cheife mate, who often compared his observation with
37. this deponents and they still agreed, and found the said Master to be soe much
38. in an errour, and though they told him thereof, yet still hee persisted
39. to navigate the shipp according to his owne observation, which being
40. soe erroneous, this deponent conceiveth that that was the cause of
41. such his missing his ports and places sought for, and to be longer
42. (by that meanes) in finding them than otherwise hee needed.

43. To the 6th hee saith that there were laded aboard the said shipp in
44. this port before her proceeding on the said voyage, namely in or about
45. the moneth of January 1656 by the said producents or their order
46. (amongst other goods) foure bales of goods, but the contents hee
47. knoweth not, but they were said to be a bale of fustian and three of
48. Linnen, to be transported to the Canaries in the said shipp, and saith
49. that the said foure bales of goods were through the carelessnes or ignorance
50. of the said Jonas removed from the place for ward on before the maine
hatches
