deponent and the rest of the shipps Company expected howerly that
they and shee and her ladeing would have perished in the sea and soe greate
the force thereof was that it caused her seames to open and prove leakie
during the storme, and take in much water into her hold by her leak[inesse GUTTER]
in the sea and the winde was soe violent that it kept the shipp downe in
the water on the starr board side whereby shee shipped much water from
above which went and caused two of her beames to breake for that
water came downe into her hold and preiudiced her goods, and by
reason shee laye soe one one syde the water could not come to the [XXX to GUTTER]
bee voided by the pumpe soe that the Master and Company could not cleere
her of the water receaved in the sayd storme till the sayd storme was [over GUTTER]
and the same being over hee well knoweth that the Master and Company
with the pumpes cleere her of the water receaved in the sayd storme in
about three or fower howers at most And further saving his subsequent

To the 7th hee saith that the sayd shipp still continueing on her course
for England mett with an other very violent storme about the first of
September last being then about a hundred leagues from the west of
England which storme continued fower dayes and fower nights and
was soe violent that the shipp and lading and Company was in exceeding great danger of [perishing GUTTER]
in the sea thereby and {her} Master and Company were not able to [spoone GUTTER]
her before the sea but were forced to lye a hull under the sea soe [that GUTTER]
the sea often passed over her with great violence and brake into the
sayd shipp amongst her goods and could not bee prevented from soe
doing by all the Industrie that the Master and Company could use And
further saving his following deposition hee cannot depose./
To the 8th and 9th hee saith hee hath bin a mariner those twelve yeares last
and bin at Sea in many great stormes and thereby knoweth that [XXX GUTTER]
shipp although shee bee new will be the violence of tempestious [XXX GUTTER]
such as the stormes aforesayd were) open her seames and her sydes [XXXX GUTTER]
way and become leakie to the dammagement of her ladeing not=
withstanding all industrie that can bee used by her Master and Company
And hee this deponent verily beleeveth and is perswaded in his conscience
that what dammage is happened to the ladeing of the Trades Increase
the voyage in question happened meerely by the violence of the sayd
stormes and not through any default of her master and company
or any defect of the sayd shipp other then what the stormes aforesayd
occasioned, which dammage whi hee verily beleeveth would have [XXX GUTTER]
the stormes beingsoe violent though the sayd shipp had bin a new shipp
at her coming from the Barbadas And further hee cannot depose
To the 10th hee saith hee this deponent helped to stowe all the [XXX GUTTER]
s[?cXXX] of the Trades Increase the voyage in question and well kno[weth GUTTER]
that it was very well and sufficiently stowed and dennaged and soe
stowed that noe dammage happened thereto through any defect[e of GUTTER]
stowage it being stowed three foote from the seeleing which is a safe
stowage for preservation of any goods what soever if extreame stormie
weather happen not And further hee cannot depose/
