Transcription

To the first and second articles of the sayd allegation hee saith that hee
being Gunner on board the shipp Plough the voyage in question
knoweth that in the moneth of January last in the passage of the sayd
shipp homewards from the Westerne Islands to the Port of London
shee had much stormie and tempestious weather And saith that on
the seaventh of the sayd moneth of January last shee mett with such a
storme of winde hayle and rayne (that lasted for above twenty fower
houres) that shee thereby shipped much water the sea breaking often
over her with that violence that this deponent and others were up to the
knees in water upon deck, and one sea brake in at the sterage (sic) doore
and runne downe into the Gunne roome and the sayd shipp and ladeing by reason
of the violence of the sayd storme was in great danger of perishing
as alsoe were the lives of her Company And saith that afterwards
upon the thirteenth of the sayd moneth the sayd shipp being gott in or neere
the Channell articulate and in Company of the Prudent Mary articulate
whereof the articulate Salmon was Commander, both the sayd shipps were
all that thirteenth day and till about twelve a clock at night of the
next night chased by a dunkirke man of warr and the articulate Noyes
Master of the Plough and his Company were for their necessary defence
and in order to the preservation of the shipp and her ladeing and
company from being taken by the dunkirker forced to open her
Ports and the weather being very stormy and the sea running
very highe shee thereby unavoidably tooke in much water
at her ports and saith shee being gotten cleere of the dunkirke
man of warr who had driven her to the Northward of
Scilly was upon the sixteenth of the sayd moneth forced to carry
a pressed sayle thereby to get about to the Southward againe
and to keepe from the Lee shoare, by meanes alsoe whereof
(the winde and weather continuing still very stormie and the
sea still running very high) the sayd Noyes the master and his
Company were forced for security of the shipp and goods and
their owne lives to open the hatches of the sayd shipp Plough
to take out her cables and bend them to her Anchors that they
might bee in a readinesse upon all occasion And the hatches
being open hee saith the sea brake in at the hatchway and
the shipp thereby alsoe tooke some store of water the
premisses he deposeth of his sight and knowledge And further
to these articles hee cannot depose/

To the 3 hee saith hee well knoweth the sayd shipp the voyage in
question was and still is a tight strong shipp and fitt for
the voyage shee was imployed in And what dammage as happened
to any of her ladeing hee saith was occasioned by the stormie
and Casualties afore deposed of and not by any insufficiency of
the sayd shipp nor fault or neglect of the articulate Noyes the
Master
