the sayd Anchor to give notice where her Anchor lay And further to this
article hee cannot depose/

To the 5th and 6th hee saith hee referreth himselfe to the rules and orders of this Court
and further cannot depose saving hee saith hee well knoweth the James and
Martin arlate at such tyme as the Imployment sett upon her Anchor laye
moored alonge the River of the Thames with the Current of the streame
and almost quite watershott./

To the 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th and 12th articles of the sayd libell hee saith that hee this
deponent being Carpenter of, and one of the Company of the Imployment well knoweth
that at such tyme as the Imployment came to an Anchor neere Execution
dock arlate her Master and company did take all the care they could to moore
her in a safe place, and did moore her there neere the middle of the Thames where
shee might have greatest depth of water, and betweene two other shipps, where
as her company conceived, (noe boy appearing neere to give notice of any
anchor neere) that shee laye safe from danger and had a good birth to ride

her bilge and the Imployment lyeing soe the tyde flowd next after
fast hetched in the flooke of the James and martins anchor, the company
of the Imployment observing that when flood came their sayd shipp
did not turne therewith as shipps usually doe and as other shipps then did,
they endeavoured to hawle her about with the tyde to keepe a cleere
halse, and seeing shee would not stirre they thought shee had bin still

but continued deeper under water (though some part of her ladeing was
delivered) then when her whole ladeing was on board her, the sayd
shipps company did some of them acquainte the Master therewith
and aske his advice what was to be done, who doubting some harme
had befalne her, commanded the pumpe to be sounded and thereupon found
shee had receaved sixe foote water in hold and afterwards this deponent and others of the Company of the Imployment found
