and his Mate and a boy forsook her and went aboard the sayd ffluites ship and came
noe more aboard the John and Elizabeth, And this deponent beleeveth that by reason
her company soe forsook her shee and her ladeing could not choose but be in danger of perishing
at sea ghaving soe little helpe left aboard And further hee cannot answere/
To the 10th hee cannot depose
To the 11th hee saith hee well knoweth the Interrogate ffrancis Bedingfeild
