John May his Cheife Mate and Pylott of the sayd shipp, and saith
that one of the differences betweene the sayd Master and the sayd May
was touching an Azimouth Compasse of the sayd May which
the sayd Master had a desyre to have, (it being as hee conceived better
than his owne) to make use of for the sayd shipps use in her sayd
voyage, which the sayd May (as this deponent hath heard by others of the
sayd shipps Company) refused to lett the Master have to make use of
and this deponent being at the beginning of that difference in his
Cabbin and hearing a great noise upon the deck of the Shipp came
up to see what the matter was, and being come heard the sayd Master
speake to John Swinburne the boateswaine of the sayd shipp commanded
him upon perill of looseing his wages to goe and breake open the sayd
Mayes Cabbin and fetch out the sayd Compasse and bring it to him the
sayd Master and hee would beare him out for soe doeing, or to that effect
and heard the sayd May then speake to the sayd Boatswaine and sayd
thus or the like in effect I charge you upon penalty of more than
tenn tymes the losse of your wages that you breake not open my cabbin nor [XXXX GUTTER]
