Transcription

from the Saint Jacob aboard the Mary and this deponent fastening
the bight of the sayd roape about his middle, and
under his Armes, the sayd Somerland having both ends of the
roape in his hands aboard the Saint Jacob, draged this deponent
from on board the Mary into the Sea, and soe hawled this deponent
up out of the sea into the Saint Jacob, and the Saint Jacob soone after
sheereing aboard the Mary the boy which remayned
behinde gott also by that meanes aboard the Saint Jacob and saith
by reason of the Saint Jacobs soe falling fowle of the Mary the Maryes
provisions and apparell were all or the most part of them lost togeather
with the shipps stock of money all save about three pound thereof
which one of the Maries Company saved and brought aboard the Saint
Jacob And further saving his subsequent deposition hee cannot depose./

To the 5th hee saith that at the tyme when the dammage aforesayd
happened the Mary lay close by the winde and stood to the
Northwards upon a tack, and that at the same tyme the rest of
the shipps in Company of the Mary and Saint Jacob who were alsoe
all bound to the Northward did steere and stand to the Northwards and
soe ought the Saint Jacob to have done being alsoe bound to the Northwards
if shee had steered her right course which notwithstanding the Master and Company of the Saint Jacob
the tyme when the dammage aforesayd happened steered South
wards and stood Southwards which was contrary to the course steered
by all the rest of the ffleete and in this deponents Judgment noe
way necessarie, and saith that the next day after the dammage aforesayd
all or the most of the ffleete except the Saint Jacob and the Mary aforesayd did as hee hath
credibly heard recover humber, and soe might the Saint Jacob if her Master and Company had steered and stood Northwards as the other shipps did #

next day And further to this article hee cannot depose./

To the 6th hee saith hee well knoweth being on board the Mary and at
her helme that the sayd Kennett and Company with the Jacob, about an
hower before the dammage aforesayd happened, with her sayles abroad
sayled by the Mary, and went a head of her, and steered and
stood Northwards, and afterwards without any cause that this
deponent can conceive (hee knowing it to bee contrary to the course
which ought to have bin steered) the sayd Kennet and Company did
steere and stand southwards with the Saint Jacob, and by that meanes
ranne her fowle of the Mary, which they might have avoided if
they had bin carefull as they ought to have bin, And further to
this article hee cannot depose./
