To the first and second articles of the sayd allegation hee saith that hee this deponent
was Masters Mate of the arlate Shipp the Trades Encrease the voyage in question [and GUTTER]
thereby well knoweth that the sayd shipp came to the Barbados upon or about the [XX GUTTER]

day of July next after, during all which tyme hee well knoweth that the says shipp
continued very tight and staunche and receaved soe little water as that the [same GUTTER]
was usually cleered by the pumpe with makeing use thereof only once a [XXXX GUTTER]
which is a thinge usuall for shipps companyes to doe in those hott countries [XXXX GUTTER]
shipps by reason of the heate will unavoidably take in some water
Though they be never soe staunche, and are apter to take in water when they [XXX GUTTER]
then otherwise by reason that with the weight of their ladeing the upper parts of the [XXX GUTTER]
which are subiect to the heate of the sunne before being laden are afterwards [by the GUTTER]
weight of the ladeing brought under water, which is the cause that a shipp then [XXX GUTTER]
be never soe tight weill in those hott Countries take some water, but hee thiis deponent
well knoweth for that hee sawe the stoweing of all her ladeing and helped to
stowe the same that the sayd shipp never tooke in soe much any water during all her
stay at the Barbados as anyway to preiudice her ladeing, waht water shee
tooke being by the pumpe safely voided and kept soe that it came not [above GUTTER]
a foote at least of the sayd ladeing during her stay there this hee knoweth being
Masters Mate and knoweing that the goods were stowed three and twenty Inches from
the ground of the sayd shipp soe that they could not take any preiudice by any water
shee tooke in during her stay there not afterwards, in her voyage unlesse by [XXX GUTTER]
and ill weather And further hee cannot depose./

To the 3: 4th and 5th articles of the sayd allegation hee saith hee this deponent
being Masters Mate as aforesayd kept a Journall of the voyage in question and
thereby knoweth that upon the fifteenth day of July last the sayd shipp Trades Increase
came out of Spikes Bay in the Barbados laden with sugar and other goods and
bound for England at which tyme shee was a staunch shipp and not [XXX GUTTER]
leakie soe as to preiudice her ladeing nor any otherwise leake then others
which trade to such hott countries usually are and soe continued till the [XX GUTTER]
of August last on which day the sayd shipp in her passage from the Barbados
towards England mett with an extraordinary storme and tempest which [XX GUTTER]
with great furie for three sayes and nights soe that hee hee this deponent and
Company and passengers in her weare in great feare that they and her lading
all perish by the sinkeing of the shipp and soe violent the storme was that the
shipps workeing and labouring in the sea caused her seames to open (as shipps
in great tempests will ususally doe) soe that thereby the shipp became [very leakie GUTTER]
and tooke in much water in hold and the storme was soe violent that the GUTTER]
winde kept the sayd shipp downe in the water on the starboard side soe that the
sea brake over her often tymes with great violence and her company were
not by reason the shipp laye all of one side, soe make use of the pumpes and [XX GUTTER]
the water not comming at them And saith that the storme being over [XXX XXXX GUTTER]
the sayd Trevorgye and Company soe soone as possibly they could did their [XXXX GUTTER]
