a good birth, and lay cleere of danger, And hee saith the sayd shipp the
Imployment did safely there ride from the sayd Satterday the 29th of September
last till Wednesday at evening next ensueing in which tyme hee saith the sayd
Master and this deponent and others of the Company of the Imployment did diligently search for anchors
which might lye in within the compasse of the Imployments birth, but could discover
none, And hee saith as is predeposed that both before and after the damage
in question happend the arlate shipp the James and Martin laye without any boye
at her Anchor, and laye partly water shott, by which meanes the Imployment
unexpectedlt rested and satt upon the Anchor of the Janes and Martin, which
they could not avoide, there being noe boy to give notice that an Anchor
lay there, and the sayd Anchor lying deepe in the water about eleven or twelve
foote deepe at lowe water, soe the same happened not by any neglect
or fault of the Master and Company of the Imployment, they having as aforesayd
with their boates searched for Anchors but could finde none, And hee
saith by reason of the sayd Anchor of the James and Martin soe lyeing
without a boy, the Imployment did at lowe water sitt upon the
Anchor of the James and Martin, which stuck a hole in the Imployments
bilge, soe that shee continued hitched fast in the flooke of the sayd Anchor
till flood came, And the tyde of floud coming and other shipps beginning
to winde about with the tyde, the Company of the Imployment perceiving
their shipp did not winde as others did, indeavoured to hawle her about
with the tyde to keepe a cleere halfe, and seeing shee would not winde
they thought her to be on ground still, and told the Master thereof, and
after a while the Master and company of her observing that as the tyde came
in the sayd shipp began to frowe deeper (although some of her ladeing
were before delivered) then shee used to bee when her full ladeing
was aboard, they sounded her pumpe and thereby found that shee
haf receaved sixe foote water in hold, which as afterwards plainely appeared
came in at the hole struck in her bilge by the sayd Anchor of
the James and Martin, And thereupon the Master and company of the
Imployment perceiving what danger they were in, called out for helpe
to other shipps neere, and procured out of other shipps, and from shoare
neere about a hundred men to helpe to pumpe and bayle her and helpe
to get her ashaore soe soone as they could that her leake receaved
by the meanes aforesayd might be stopped, but notwithstanding all their
endeavour five tydes passed (after the dammage receaved) ere shee could be
gotten on ahoare to a Convenient place to be mended, during which five
tydes hee saith hee well knoweth the Master of the Imployment kept
constantly
