Transcription

Pilgrim was then alsoe fastned to a Collier which Collier had then
two Anchors out, one whereof lay to the Northward, and saith the Exeter
Merchant came fowle of the Pilgrim soe suddenely that the Pilgrims
Company had noe tyme to veere any cable nor could anyway prevent
the Exeter Merchants comming fowle of her, and further
hee cannot answere otherwise then negatively

To the 4th hee saith that the rayles of the head of the Pilgrim
were broken before shee came into the River of Thames and saith
that in the Pilgrims outward bound voyage, the voyage in
question, shee was somewhat leakie at sea and her hoodeings gave
a little way, but such her defects were mended and her leakes
stopped at Saint Lucars soe as shee was in good condition during her
homeward bound voyage and soe continued till such tyme as the disaster
aforesayd happened by meanes of the Exeter Merchant falling fowle
of her, And saith hee this deponent knoweth not of any intention to
bring the shipp Interrogate into the dock to navell hood her before the
casualty in question happened And saith hee this deponent being the
Interrogate Watkins did not before the said Casualty happened conferre
with the Interrogate Graves about navell hooding the sayd shipp
Pilgrim and saith that after her comming into the dock some smale
wormeholes were found in her but shee was not soe worme eaten or rotten
that shee stood neede by reason thereof to bee sheathed, but saith that
shee being to goe a voyage to the west Indies (which is a place
where very frequently shipps are damnified by wormes eateing up)
shee was for that reason only, and not for any rottenesse or worme
holes which shee had at the tyme Interrogate, new sheathed by the sayd
Graves And further hee cannot answere otherwise then negatively/

To the 5th hee saith that at the sayd shipps first setting sayle with her
ladeing of wine and oyles from Pharoe in Portugall shee did for a while
at sea voide some oyle at her pumpe which was saved as much as of might bee in empty casks aboard but for a fortnight before the accident
aforesayd happened hee well knoweth there was noe oyle voided at
the pumpe at leastwise soe little as that it could not bee saved, and
saith hee beleeveth there as about thre hogsheads of oyle pumped put
at sea and saved in empty casks which was on board, from the tyme of her setting
out from Pharoe till the accident aforesayd happened, and saith that
after the casualty aforesayd happened there as empty Vasks on board
the Pilgrim in which empty casks her company saved as much oyle
as they could, of the oyle pumped out after the sayd casualty happened
And further hee cannot answere/

To the last hee saith hee knoweth that the wynes and oyle Casks
Interrogate which were leaked out were before the breaking of the
longers surveyed by Captaine Ashwere Captaine heath and his
Mate (but his mates name hee remembreth not,) and some others whose
names hee remembreth not and saith for that hee hath not
the certificate they made upon the sayd survey now about him hee remem=
breth not what markes and numbers they surveyed nor how they found
them and further saving his foregoeing deposition hee cannot answere
otherwise then negatively for his part./
