2. Examined upon the sayd allegation./
3. <margin value="LEFT">Rp H 2</margin>
4. Edward Purdy of Yarmouth Mariner aged fiftie three yeares
5. or thereabouts a wittnesse sworne and examined saith and
6. deposeth as followeth videlicet./
7. To the first and second articles of the sayd allegation hee saith that in the
8. moneth of September last past 1656 the arlate William Lee with his shipp the
9. Samuell and the arlate Otter with his shipp whereof hee was Master (called as hee
10. hath heard and beleeveth by the name of the Providence) came from Newcastle togeather
11. as at lengthy and being come both to the Northward of Scarborough Castle and the
12. winde being then contrary videlicet at the south upon or about the sixth day of the sayd
13. moneth of September the sayd shipp Samuell stood off and the sayd Otters
14. shipp stood in by meanes whereof they came very neere each other, whereupon
15. the sayd Otter waved to the Company of the Samuell to heave up and the sayd
16. Lee after the sayd Otters soe waveing to them to heave up did accordingly, give
17. Command to his shipps Company to heave up that for the Samuell might come
18. to Lee ward of the sayd Otters shipp, and the Company of the Samuell in order to
19. the Command of their sayd master did brace up ˹the helme with all speede˺ to come to the leeward, and
20. braced their mayne sayle, and mayne top sayle in the winde, and brailed up their
21. mizen sayle, and used all possible diligence to avoid falling fowle of the sayd get
22. cleere of the sayd Otters shipp ˹and to prevent˺ doeing any dammage to the sayd Otters shipp
23. or receaving any dammage from her, which not withstanding the sayd Otters
24. shipp comming with full sayle ranne aboard the Samuell, and brake downe
25. the Samuells stemme and heads and brake three beames of her forecastle
26. and carried down her upper deck and carried forth two foote of planke
27. under her forechannel and did her much other hurt and dammage and
28. much endangered the sinking of the sayd shipp the Samuell shee being
29. by the meanes aforesayd made soe leakie that the sayd Lee and Company
30. had much a doe to keepe her a floate and for her better preservation from
31. sinking were forced to put her out in to Scarborough (shee not being able
32. to endure the sea any farther) this hee deposeth of his owne sight and
33. knowledge being one of the Company of the shipp Samuell and helpeing to
34. brace and brayle her sayles as aforesayd and using his utmost endeavour
35. to hel keepe her cleere of the sayd Otters shipp, but as to the value of the

40. did not withstanding heave up towards Whitby arlate which is about
41. ten fower leagues distant from Scarborough ˹and further distant from the place the Otters shipp fell fowle of the Samuell then Scarborough is˺ whereas hee the sayd Otter might
42. with more ease and convenience and safety have put in to Scarborough and
43. might have bin there at least two or three howers before the Samuell shee ˹the Samuell˺ being
44. soe exceedingly dammaged as aforesayd, which if the Sayd Otter had done hee
45. had without doubt prevented that danger which afterwards befell his sayd shipp
46. by reason afterwards (as this deponent hath credibly heard) hee rann her on shoare
