this deponent was one) remained ashore at the said Cape about
three weekes space, and then it pleased God that an English shipp
named the Happie ffortune (whereof one Pepperell was master)
arived there, and thereat they got passage to the Barbadás.

To the fifth hee saith that the said ninetie foure Negroes at the
said time of such surprizall were very lustie and healthfull
and each and every of them would have at the Barbadás have
yeelded and produced two thousand three hundred pounds weight
of good Barbadás sugar, for at that rate hee saith the said
Pepperell sold his Negroes, which were not for the generalitie soe
good and lustie as those which were seized in the Brotherhood, which
would have come to a very good market had not the said seizure
happened, namely in probabilitie they would have come to Barbadás about the end of March, nowe
a yeere past. And saith that each pound weight of the said sugar
was then at this port (whether the same was to have bin brought)
worth six pence. And otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the sixth article hee saith that there was at that time of
the said seizure aboard the said shipp brotherhood belonging to her
master and company a good quantitie of gold and Elephants teeth together
with clothes, sea Instruments and necessaries to a good valew, which
they lost by the said seizure. and thereby this deponent in particular
lost above an hundred and tenn thirteene pounds sterling, besides the produse
and retourne thereof would have bin at and from the Barbadas. And
otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the seaventh hee saith that the said shipp the Brotherhood
at the time of the said surprizall was of the burthen of sixtie
tonnes or thereabouts and was well worth the summe of three
hundred pounds sterling in his estimation.

To the eighth hee referreth him selfe to his foregoeing deposition and
cannot otherwise depose.
