To the 7th hee saith that there is noe way from Cyprus for England for a shipp but to come through the Streights mouth, that ever this deponent heard of or beleeveth, and hee beleeveth that the ''Thomas Bonadventure'' came that way having noe other way to come. And commonly it happens that a shipp cannot keepe a direct course from Salina to that Streights mouth, but must saile sometimes one way and sometimes another according as the winde is, and the winde taking them right contrary they may tack sometimes seaven leagues or more on one board and after as many on the other and may traverse to and fro continually till the winde comes fare for {the} most advantage of the shipps tending towards her desired port, And otherwise hee cannot depose.
