danger of perishing in the sea in soemuch that this deponent (a passenger)
and all the company expected every [?moment] to be cast away, and albeit hee
this deponent hath bin often at sea and in very greate danger, yet
never thought himselfe in soe greate as then; and saith that by the said
storme shee was driven upon the coast of Jutland, where (according
to the report there current) there were and had bin an hundred and
nineteene shipps and vessells cast away by the same storme. And there
hee saith the said shipp came to an anchor on or about the third of October
aforesaid, and rode upon life and death
till towards evening, and then (the winde comming about) [?weighing GUTTER]
and on or about the fifth of the same moneth shee got into ffleckery
in Norway, whether shee was constrained to put by fowle weather
which hee knoweth being present and seeing the same.

To th third hee saith that the said shipp againe afterwards in the said
moneth of October set saile from ffleckery to prosecute her voyage for
London, and commeing about the dogger sand shee met with another
very violent storme with the winde at West South West or
thereabouts which storme was of longe continuance, and by meanes
thereof the rudder of the said shipp became loose and hung but
by one hooke and a rope, and the decks were severall times filled
with water and often the water came into the cabbin, and saith
that againe the shipp, master and company were put in
danger of perishing in the sea by the said storme, and at last
they were forced back againe to ffleckery, where by reason of
contrary windes shee was constrained to remaine about a fortnight,
which hee knoweth being driven thither in her. And otherwise hee
cannot depose, saving shee there had her rudder indifferently
well repaired.

To the fourth hee saith that on or about the tenth day of
November last 1655 the said shipp againe set saile from
ffleckery for London, which hee knoweth because hee set saile in her
company in an English shipp, which steered a more windward course,
soe that they shortly parted, and this deponent sawe her noe more
till afterwards that shee came up into the River of Thames, And
otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the fifth hee saith that the said shipp the Saint Jacob at the time of
her setting upon the said voyage was a strong tight and staunch shipp
and fit for the same, and the master and company in all the said stormes
which happened while this deponent was onboard her did their utmost
endeavour by plying the pump and otherwise to see that the goods
might be to their utmost preserved from dammage, and in case
any dammadge hath happened unto them hee beleeveth the same came
by [?XXXXXX] stormes, and not by any faut of the master and
company or defect or or in the shipp. And otherwise cannot depose
