violently notwithstanding ranne directly aboard the said
shipp the Desire, and thereby brake downe her quarter
and the missen Master, and did alsoe breake two or three
beams in the hould, wherof one was the maine
Beame, and by her violent running upon her did alsoe
runne her Anchor into the sides of the Desire under water
soe that there was three or fower foote water in her hould
(of the deponents certaine knowledge, who helpt in the
pumping out of the water) And he saith that he did alsoe
helpe in stopping the Leaks the Anchor of the
Sisters had made in her, with beefe, and that a flewke
of the Anchor of the shipp the Sisters and halfe of the
shanke of the other flewke were left in the sides of
the shipp the Desire The premisses he deposeth because
he was on board the shipp the Desire and very neere unto
his precontest Giles Nicholls, when he called unto the Company
of the said shipp the Sisters asking them where they would
be, and because he heard the voyce of one of the said shipp
the Sisters company answeare (aboard you) and because
he did assist and helpe in pumping out of the [?wXXX]
and stopping of the Leaks in the shipp the Desire
which happened by the willfull and violent running of the
said shipp the Sisters aboard her the arlate shipp the
Desire, And further he cannot depose saving that
if the sayd shipp the desire had not bin a strong and tight shipp
and her Company bin very diligent (as it behooved them)
in working severall wayes for her preservation shee
had bun sunck and they (every of man of them) drowned.

To the fourth article, he saith that the arlate shipp the
Sisters might very easily (as he hath predeposed) having soe
faire a gale of wind as shee had, have a voyded running
aboard the Desire, but he saith that the desire being at
Anchor could not possibly have shifted or a boyded the Sisters
And further he cannot depose.

To the fifth article of the said allegation he deposeth
that the shipp the Desire was a strong and stanch shipp
before the damage done unto her by the Sisters, and that
since about [?X] li was bestowed upon her (as the Master hath
sayd) she made but one voyage, and he saith that he
conceiveth it could not cost lesse then 13 li in repayring
those damages shee received by the Sisters, And that for
his part he beleiveth that by her being shaken by the
Sisters she is quite spoylt, and thereby much lesse
worth then forty pounds of what she was
before the damage done by the Sisters unto her
happened. And further he cannot depose.
