Transcription

of the great hazard and danger thereof and that all shipps though belonging
to that place doe use the assistance of some Pylott resideing there or neere
thereabouts to goe into the sayd harbour And this is a thing well knowne to
all sea men that have occasion to goe to the sayd Port And further
hee cannot depose./

To the 3 article of the sayd allegation that upon or about the twelfth
of November 1654 and about two or three of the Clock in the morning
(it then being very darke by reason the moone was then sett) the sayd daniell
Jeggles came with his shipp the Anne whereof he was Master neere to
Porto Port articulate at which tyme hee well remembereth there did blow
a very scant Easterly gale of wynde And saith that by reason of the scantnesse
of the winde and darkenesse of the morning the sayd daniell Jeggles and his
Company did overshoote the sayd port of Porto Port about three or fower
leagues and not above, and were to the Southwards of it about three or fower
leagues betwixt it and a place called Avero the premisses hee deposeth
of his owne knowledge being one of the sayd shipps Company and
then upon the watch when the Port was soe overshott by reason of the
darkenesse of the morning and scantenesse of the winde as aforesayd And further
to this article hee cannot depose

To the 4th 5th 6th and 7th articles of the sayd allegation hee saith and deposeth
that the next day after (being as hee remembereth the 13 of the sayd moneth) the
sayd Jeggles came againe with his sayd shipp before Porto Port
and as is usuall for shipps in such case to doe shott off severall
gunnes to give notice for a pylott to come aboard to carrie in the
sayd shipp, but none came from shoare, though the sayd Jeggles stayed in
expectation thereof severall houres and the flood being spent, and
night approaching and the winde beginning to be high, and it being likely
to prove fowle weather, the sayd Jeggles to prevent danger of his shipp being driven
on ground did for the more securitie of her and her ladeing and her companys
lives carry her off to sea further from shoare And the same night it proved
very stormie weather and the winde blew very strongly toward shoare soe
that in this deponents judgement hee verily beleeveth and is perswaded in
his conscience had the sayd shipp continued all night before Porto Port and
not made out to sea as shee did, shee would by the violence of the
winde have bin driven on shoare and bin in great danger of perishing
in the sea both shee and her ladeing and her Company, and soe much was
manifest and apparent to all the sea men then on board her and hee saith
that the next day (being the fourteenth of the sayd moneth) the winde blew
Northerly and the weather continued very stormie and tempestious
soe that unlesse the winde and weather had altered there was in this deponents
Judgement and the Judgement of the rest of the seamen aboard noe hope to gaine
Porto Port, and therupon the sayd Jeggles did by order of the articulate
James Cowse his brother Edmond Cowse (as James Mansfeild) the Masters
Mate and others of the sayd shipps Company who affirmed they heard the
sayd Edmond Cowse give such order to the sayd Jeggles told this deponent
and as this deponent beleeveth alsoe for that hee heard the sayd Edmond Page
alsoe upon the open deck before this deponent and others of the shipps company saye)
it was better to make to some Port then continue at sea the weather being soe
stormie
