Transcription

weather came the next on the thirteenth day (as hee and others of the shipps company supposed) neere to
Oport, videlicet within five or sixe leagues thereof, and then discryeing severall fisher boates
at sea, hee the sayd Jeggles made signes to them by puting out of his Colours, and
dischargeing of gunnes to have them come to him and discover to him the entrance
into the River of Oport that hee might come soe neere the barr as to have a
pylott come from shoare to carrie him over the barr in to the sayd harbour or port
of Oport, but the fishermen (supposeing as hee this deponent beleeveth) that the shipp had bin a Turkes man of warr (they usually infesting that
Coast) made a way towards harbour and would not come neere the sayd
Jeggles his shipp, whereupon the sayd Jeggles though the weather continued
fayre would not adventure to goe neere the shoare but beate to and againe at
sea, and the same night videlicet the thirteenth day of the sayd moneth at night
the weather proved stormy and the winde blowing a fresh gale from the west the
the shipp by force thereof was forced to leave that coast and come the next day
being the fourteenth day of the sayd Moneth neere the Burlings which lyeth
to the southwards of Oport and betwixt Oport and Lisbone, And then the premisses
hee the better knoweth for that hee tooke a memoriall of the dayes and transactions
aforesayd And furthe saith that upon the sayd fourteenth day of the sayd
moneth the sayd Jeggles did publiquely upon the deck in the presence of this
deponent and others on board the sayd shipp, acknowledge and confesse that he never
had bin on that Coast and in the River of Oport but once before, and that
then hee came in from Newfoundland directly upon it, from the sea, and that
now comming alonge the shoare, the Coast had deceived him and that without
procureing a Pylott hee would not undertake to carrie the sayd shipp soe neere
the barr of Oport, as that hee might there receive a pylott to Carry
her in over the barr, or words to that effect whereto this deponent replyed and
and told the sayd Jeggles that hee had done very unadvisedly
in undertakeing what hee was unable to performe, and asked him where such
a Pylott as hee desyred, was then to bee procured, whereto hee answered that
Lisbone was the neerest place where one was to bee had, and thereupon this
deponent seeing the sayd Jeggles his ignorance of the Port, and that the weather
was stormie, did consent that the sayd shipp should be sayled to Lisbone to
gett a Pylott and the sayd Jeggles accordingly sayled her thither which is about
fifty leagues from Oport and shee being come thither this deponent procured
a pylott and in the tyme while shee stayed there to procure licence for her
departure thence did cause some goods to bee unladen there and other goods
laden aboard her instead of them, which being done this deponent ordered
the sayd Jeggles to take the first oportunity to sayle to Oport, and soe this deponent
went from Lisbone over land to Oport expecting the sayd Jeggles his speedy
arrivall there but saith that it was two moneths and upwards after this deponents
departure from Lisbone before the sayd Jeggles arrived with his sayd shipp
from Lisbone at Oport, all which might have bin prevented if the sayd Jeggles
at his first being neere Oport and while fayre weather lasted had not bin ignorant
of the knowledge of the Coast as hee afterwards confessed hee was And further to this
article hee cannot depose
