last past, and on board her when the said shipp was
bound in for Tinmouth haven to take in her lading of
Coales there, and that the sayd shipp being come about
halfe way within the barr, the winds were soe strong
and crosse that the sayd shipp could be gott noe further
into the sayd haven, and that therefore the Master and

of the said shipp cast anchor there, and did there ride

space enough for the shipp the Sisters arlate to have
passed by her the shipp the Desire without comming neere
unto or hazarding her The premisses he deposeth for that
he being Masters Mate and aboard her when the sayd

the Desire, and that therupon he the deponent did call
out to the Company of the shipp the Sisters, and aske
