Transcription

The more readily passe out at the scoope holes, and that the scoope holes
might not be in danger to be stopped with the seas driving any thing on
decke to them And hee saith hee well knoweth that the Master and
company of the sayd shipp Conrard did their uttmost endeavour to
preserve the sayd shipp and her homeward ladeing from damage and
alsoe well knoweth that the sayd shipp was a very stronge and
stanch shipp saving for the hurt done her by the storme as
aforesayd, and is well assured that what damage is happened to
her sayd ladeing soe happened meerely by the violence of the sayd
storme which strayned and opened her seames as aforesayd and
thereby unavoidably powred in much water into her, and not
by any neglect of the sayd Master or Company nor by any
insufficiencie of the sayd shipp for that hee being Carpenter well
knoweth the sayd shipp after the sayd storme was and continued a
very stronge tight shipp, saving the harme aforesayd receaved in
the sayd storme, and is well assured had shee not soe bin
there had bin noe hope to preserve her from perishing in the sea the
violence of the sayd storme was soe great And further to these
articles hee cannot depose./

To the last hee saith his foregoeing deposition is true./
