the ffrigotts side s shee laye neare dicks shoare And hee saith that hee this deponent
being aboard when the sayd baggs were laden on board the frigott did well
observe that they were then very wett which was (as hee beleeveth) the only cause
why when the sayd ffrigott came to sea divers of the baggs proved rotten and
brake and the pepper (although the sayd baggs were very commodiously stowed)
ranne out of the baggs and into the pimpe well of the sayd shipp which was
first discovered by the workeing at the pumpe, and soe soone as ever the same
was discovered the arlate haslegrave and Company did doe their best endeabour
to preserve the same by setting bread basketts and ballast basketts under the pumps
mouth that the pepper might in them be preserved, and did soe save much thereof
and caused it to be dryed upon the decke and mended the baggs which they
found to be rotten with Canvas which was on board the sayd shipp and then
put the same pepper which they had preserved at the pumpe and dryed into those
baggs they had mended some into one bagg and some into an other, and saith that
the pepper came up at the pumpe at such tymes as the pumpe worked for the space
of three weekes togeather soe that had not the sayd shipp bin a good tight
shipp as indeede shee was. the sayd loose pepper had bin lost And
further to this article hee cannot depose saving hee saith the arlate haselgrave
was not on board the sayd shipp when the sayd baggs of pepper were brought
and laden aboard the sayd shipp The premisses hee deposeth being on board and Quarter
master and an eye witnesse of them./

To the second hee saith that hee well knoweth that the sayd thirty baggs of pepper
were all very well stowed above three foote high from the seeleing of the sayd
shipp and that divers piggs of lead and donage of bavins upon the lead, laye under the
sayd baggs of pepper, and divers perpetuanas and bayes which lay somwhat [?abXX GUTTER]
