contrarie to the course of all the rest of the ffleete, there being in
this deponents Judgment noe necessarie cause for the sayd Kennett
and company of the Saint Jacob soe to doe for that the Saint Jacob was
further to windewarde than any of the ffleete and therefore might
better have steered her course Northward than any of the ffleete,
which if shee had done shee had avoided the running fowle
of the Mary, and prevented all the dammage and danger which
happened, and might have the next day after the dammage aforesayd
happened, have recovered humber as all the rest of the sayd
ffleete except the Mary, and and Saint Jacob did,

Northwards, and afterwards without any cause at all

steered, did sayle the Saint Jacob Southwards, and by that
meanes ranne fowle of the Mary in manner aforesayd and
damnified her as aforesayd which the sayd Kennett and
Company might if they would, have easily avoided and not have come fowle of the Mary at all by
steering their course to the Northwards as all the rest of the
ffleete did these premisses hee
deposeth of his owne knowledge sight and observation being
Masters Mate of and aboard the Mary when the dammage
aforesayd happened And further saving his subsequent deposition
hee cannot depose./

Company the Saint Jacobs boate to
goe in the same to looke after the shipp the Mary and use what
meanes they could to save her if it might bee and offered some
of the sayd Kennetts Company five pounds to yeilde their assistanse
for the preservation of the Mary and saith the sayd Kennett refused
to lend the sayd boate and hee and his Company refused to give assistanse
or
