winde still at West Norewest, by meanes whereof shee was againe
much endeangered to be cast away having her sailes torne with the fury
of the windeand her forecastle, cabbin and round house over flowne and
filled with sea water, and by the violence of the said storme shee was
forced upon th coast of Jutland, where to the number of 120 shipps
and vessells (as it was there commonly reported) were cast away by the
said storme, and there the said shipp Saint Jacob on or about the third of
October last came to an anchor and there rode untill evening, at which
time her company got up her anchr, and with a prest saile plied
her cpourse, but on the fifth day of the saod moneth shee was forced
back upon the coast of Norway by storme, all which hee knoweth neing
her pilot and seeing the same soe happen.

To the third hee saith that on or about the twentieth of the said moneth

of Norway for London, and comming about the middle of the dogger
Banck shee was incountred by another violent storme, which continued
about sux dayes together with the winde at West South west, by
meanes of which storme hee saith the rudder of the said shipp became
loose and hunge but by one hooke and in greate danger of being lost, and
the cabbin and deck of the said shipp were filled with water by the
violence of the said storme, wherein hee saith the master and company
continually did and used their utmost endeavour for preservation of
the said shipp and goods, as it concerned them their lives being at stake:
and saith that by force of the said storme the said shipp was againe
driven back againe to Norwaay to the port of ffleckerry, where by
adverse and contrary windes shee was necessitated to remaine three
weekes space or thereabouts, in which time her rudder was repaired
of the dammage it had received, which hee knoweth going all the said
voyage in her and seeing the premisses soe happen.

To the fourth hee saith that on or about the tenth of November last
the said shipp againe set saile from Norway, and comming againe
neere the dogger sand was met with by another greate and furious storme
which continued about eight dayes with the winde at south west and by west
by the violence whereof her mainesaile was torne, and the boate lyeing
upon the upperdeck broke soe as it was uselesse till it was
repaired, and that on or about the 26th of November last the
said shipp arived neare the North foreland and soe came to London
