Transcription

The says shipp to the southward of Oport as far as the Burleings And
hee saith that then the sayd Jeggles did openly upon the deck of the sayd
shipp saye and acknowledge in presence of this deponent and his Contests
Thomas Yeomans and Thomas Woodson and the sayd Mr Edmund Cowse and others
that hee knew not the port or place called Oport though (as hee sayd) hee had bin once at it, and that without helpe of a pylott hee could not bring the sayd shipp neere the barr
to of Oport for that hee knew it not how the sayd barr did lye and that therefore hee
must of necessitie have a pylott and that the neerest place best place to get a
pylott at was Lisbone whereupon the sayd Edmund Cowse seeing the ignorance
of the sayd Jeggles and that hee did acknowledge that hee knew not the sayd
port of Oport, was content that the sayd Jeggles should put in at Lisbone
to get a pylott, and accordingly the sayd Jeggles did put in at Lisbone with the
sayd shipp, and a pilott was there procured to navigate the sayd shipp to
and the sayd pilott being provided
and the winde standing fayre for the sayd
shipps departure from Lisbone towards Oport the sayd Jeggles was drinkeing
on shoare and came on board much distempered with drinke and abused and
struck severall of the sayd shipps Company and soe discontented them that
the next day when they should have put forth to sea severall of them in stead of
helpeing to put forth to sea brought up their bedding and chests upon deck with
intente to goe on shoare to leave the shipp and had gone on shoare
accordingly but that this deponent prevented them and got on shoare before them, and caused
one James Holcrofte and English man who inhabited at Lisbone to procure
Algazeeles or Sergeants to wait upon the shoare side to arrest them if they
came on shoare by which meanes they stayed on board but resolved not to worke
and did not worke by reason whereof that oportunite of the sayd Jeggles this
departure was lost the premisses hee deposeth upon the grounds of knowledge
aforesayd And saith that it was of his this deponents knowledge about thirteene
weekes tyme and better after the sayd shipp came soe to
Lisbone before shee did attayne the port of Oport, which might
have bin prevented and had not soe happened if the sayd Jeggles had
bin an able and knowing Master and knowne the sayd port of Oport
and gone to it as hee might have done before the sayd fowle weather which
drave them to Bu[?r]lings as aforesayd happened And further to this
article hee cannot depose

To the 3 article hee saith that for that hee coppyed out the Charterparty for
the sayd voyage hee remembreth that that articulate James Cowse was
thereby obliged to pay sixty pounds sterling a moneth for the hyre of the hull of
the sayd ship the Anne, and saith that the sayd James
Cowse was dammnified for mens wages
and victualls and in his tradeing both at Oport and the Barbadoes by reason
of the sayd Jeggles his ignorance and inability in not knowing the sayd Oport
when hee was first before it and his spending soe much tyme
at Lisbone and getting thence to Oport, but what value hee knoweth not
And further to this article hee cannot depose
