To the 4th hee saith hee knoweth that at Gravesend fower servants
consigned to the arlate Cooper did there make an escape from on
board the sayd shipp in a boate which brought some company to
visite friends they had on board the sayd shipp, and the shipps boate
being then gone to London about the shipps busines her company
having noe boate could not speedily make after them, by which [?meanes GUTTER]
they escaped and the shipp comming afterwards into the downes
Captaine Tottey upon enquire found that they were one (sic) board a
shipp whereof Generall Sedgewick was Commander and did
endeavour to get them againe, but could not, they being in the States
service but as this deponent hath heard the sayd General Sedgewick
gave the sayd Totty a noate to shew that they were in the states service
that hee might satisfie their master soe
much And hee saith hee this deponent heare the sayd Tottie
on board his shipp Edward and John at Gravesend
publiquely promise to the arlate huggery and company of
the sayd shipp that they should not bee troubled about the escape of those
servants but hee the sayd Totty would himselfe satisfie for them
with fower other servants which hee had on board that had noe
Masters, or words to that effecte And further to this arle hee cannot
depose./

To the 5th hee saith hee well knoweth that the cables of the sayd
shipp were rotten and insufficient and well remembereth that t
the Barbadoes by reason of their rottennesse and insufficiency
two cables were tyed to one Anchor, which not withstanding
they both brake with the weight of the Anchor, And saith that then
Turpin the Masters mate perceiving some twists of the Cables to
bee broken and others ready to breake did adventure up to the [?stXXX GUTTER]
in water to fasten another rope to save the Anchor from being
lost, but before hee could fasten a roape both the cables [?brake GUTTER]
and the Anchor became lost, And indeede the sayd shipps [?company]
did doe their endeavour to preserve the sayd Anchor and other the [XX GUTTER]
of the sayd shipp, and what dammage happened thereto was through
insufficiency and rottennesse of the sayd Cables and not through
default of the sayd shipps company And further hee cannot
depose/

To the 6th hee saith that the arlate huggery and Company [?of ?which GUTTER]
this deponent was one did use all diligence they could to preserve
the sayd shipp, tackle, and goods on board her from any dammage
And saith that the sayd shipps Company having delivered [XXX GUTTER]
goods from on board the sayd shipp at Woolwich and the [?shipp GUTTER]
coming to Greenewich afterwards and a lighter being ready to
receave more out of her the Company romeageing amongst [?the GUTTER]
goods did perceive that some of them were dammaged and some
caskes of suger three quarters empty and the sayd huggery
and Turpin both Masters Mates did acquainte the sayd [?Totty GUTTER]
there
