in her, and the rest of the harponeeres by reason of her swifte motion
after shee was pricked not being able to gett soe neere as to

Master and asked him what hee should doe, whereupon the
sayd damerell called from on board the sayd shipp to the sayd
Parker and his Crue and bidd the sayd Parker cutt
his warpe and come aboard and this deponent
well knoweth that after the sayd Parker and his Company came
on board, hee gave them a bottle of brandiewyne and sayd
they had done as much as could bee done by men concerning
