To the fifth hee saith hee well knoweth that there were two cables belonging
to the sayd shipp the Edward and John which were by reason they were very rotten
and badd (the shipp having ridden by them in the Barbadoes for about
eight or nyne moneths) made both fast to one Anchor, but by reason of their
rottennesse brake by the weight the Anchor as the shipps company
were at the Barbadoes having it up, which one of the company perceiving
as it was the cables were in breakeing and almost broke did endeavour
to have fastened, another rope to the Anchor thereby to save it and adventured which should [?XXX] in water soe to doe but before
hee could fasten the same the Cables both broke quite a sunder
by which meanes the sayde Anchor was lost this hee deposeth of his
owne sight and knowledge helpeing alsoe soe much as hee could
to preserve the sayd Anchor and saith that what dammage did happen
to the sayd shipps tackle happened by the insufficiency of the sayd
Cables and other tackle of the sayd shipp and not by any carelessnesse
or fault of this deponent or any other of the sayd shipps company who
did all as hee beleveeth their best endeavour to preserve the same

To the 6th hee saith that hee this deponent did and other the Mariners
of the sayd shipp alsoe did soe farr as hee this deponent could
or did observe their utmost Endeavour to preserve the sayd shipps tackle
and alsoe her ladeing or goods, And saith that the sayd shipp being
with her ladeing come to an Anchor at Greenwich and a lighter lyeing
there by her side ready to receive goods from on board this deponent and
other goods espied a hogshead which was wett and little above halfe
full of sugar and told the sayd Captaine Tottey thereof and desyred
him that before ány more goods were unladen (there having bin before
that at Woollwich one lighter of goods unladen out of the sayd shipp)
there might bee a survey taken of the goods in the shipp that it might
appeare how and by what meanes the sayd dammage had happened
but the sayd Captaine Totty would not harken nor consent thereto but sayd hee
would have the goods unladen as the lighters came for them
but this deponent and the rest of the sayd shipps Company except
one Ryder refused then to worke upon delivery of the
sayd goods unlesse a survey were first made of them, but the sayd
Tottey procured labourers and would and did cause the sayd lighter
to bee laden with goods from on board the sayd shipp before any survey was made and saith
after that, the sayd shipp removed from Greenwich with the rest of the
ladeing on board her to deptford, where the sayd shipps company
by order of the sayd Tottey did helpe to unlade and did unlade the
other ligher full of goods from on board the sayd shipp noe survey
being still taken by the sayd or procured to bee taken by the sayd
Tottey after which the sayd shipp removed with the rest of her
lading to Bell wharfe neere Ratcliff where all the rest of the
