Transcription

To the 5th hee saith that if the sayd Otter had carried his sayd
shipp and her ladeing into Scarborough as hee might very well
have done, hee had without all doubt saved both his shipp and goods
and might have had what dammage shee receaved by running fowl of
the Samuell repaired there for a small charge And hee saith that hee
this deponent heard the sayd Otter lately videlicet since the disaster afore-
sayde happened confesse and acknowledge that hee did veryly beleeve
that if hee had not bilged upon the rock aforesayd hee had
saved both his sayd shipp and goods And therefore and for the
reasons in his foregoing deposition declares hee is well assured
that what dammage happened to the sayd Otters shipp and
ladeing happened through the willfullness or carelessnesse
of the sayd Otter and his Company and not through any default
of the sayd Lee and his Company of the Samuell And further
hee cannot depose./

To the last hee saith his foregoeing deposition is true/

Repeated before doctor Godolphin

Scarborowe Castle and the winde being Contrary and at South the Samuell
stood off, and the sayd Otters shipp standing in, the sayd Otter both
waved and called to the Company of the Samuell to goe to the
Leewards And thereupon the Master and Company of the Samuell did
accordingly put their helme a weather and braced their Mayne sayle
and mayne top sayle in the winde and brayled their Mizen and used all
their utmost endeavour they could to get cleare of the sayd Otters shipp
and to prevent receiving any dammage from her or doeing any
dammage to her which notwithstanding the sayd Otters shipp ranne
with full sayle aboard the Samuell and thereby brake downe nyne foote of the Samuells
stemme and brake her head and her forecastle
and three beames in her forecastle and beate downe her fyre hatch to the great
endangering of setting the sayd shipp on fyre had not all possible diligence
bin used to quench the same and drove downe her upper deck of her
forecastle and about two foote of a planke of her fore channell and did her
much other hurt and dammage soe that her Company had much a doe
to keepe her from sinkeing and to prevente her sinkeing were forced to
put
