lading her, the roade being open, and dangerous in respect of
pirates and enemies, one whereof (speaking of the said man of warr)
they said was then in the roade, and that but few dayes before the same
man of warr that was then there riding or some other like him
had boarded and plundred from a dutch shipp there in provisions,
sailes, cables and anchors, to the valew of foure hundred crownes,
and therefore hee said hee would not lade her there, but would have her removed and
brought into a more safe place to receive her lading and to that purpose hee
provided and sent a pilote along with this deponent in the boate
aboard the said shipp, soe to remove her.
To the fourth and fifth Interrogatorie sixth and seaventh Interrogatories
hee saith and deposeth that the said pilote soe sent aboard removed
the said shipp ffortune (after shee had laine about 4 howers at that
place and to such place where it was agreed betweene the said
pilot and Monsieur du daisné that shee should be in more safetie,
and lie more commodious for the taking in of her lading; and
in such removall the said pilot brought her upon a banck of
sands, whereon shee was speedily gott off againe, and then hee caried
her to such place which hee conceived to be safe for to ride in
but it proved for otherwise, for it was soe neere a ledge of
rocke, that when the sea fell away upon the ebb tide of ebb,
the weather being tempestuous (as hee saith it was) and the increasing
in stormines and the night being come, shee bilged upon the said
ledge of rock, and sunck in the sea, and was soe beaten and
opened that shee her rudder was broken off, and about fourteene
foote of her keele carried away and two or three of her plankes
neere the keele broken, and thereby and by her greate leakinesse
or opening upon such bilging, shee became full of water in hold
at upon every comming in of the tide, and shee became soe unserviceable
that without much repairing and amending her, shee was made unfit to proceede
againe to sea, having remained six or seaven dayes under water
(as every comming in of the tide) before they could know whether
shee could be saved and recov or not. And saith that in order
to her saving there were sometimes two, sometimes three or foure and sometimes
six five or six boates and 20 or twenty or five and twenty men
and sometimes more imployed about pumping and other work
about her for her weighing up, and saving, and that at greate
rates, some at 30 thirtie sols, some (namely the Carpenters)
at sixetie sols some and some at 55 sols and others at 45 sols
per day for their worke, which lasted which they were forced
to doe aswell by night as day (as the tide served) till shee
was weighed and brought into a place for her trimming, which
weighing and bringing her into such place lasted about seaven
or eight dayes, and it was three weekes or thereabouts before
shee was trimmed and fitted. The charge of which
weighing, repairing and fitting, together with materialls (occasioned
by the said bilging) hee saith amounted unto and cost this deponent,
twelve hundred livers Tournois, comprising therein to the valew
of two hundred livers in rigging, shipps store and materialls stolen
away
