of the sayd shipp and their lives it was more [?ffaire] to throwe some goods over
board to lighten the shipp whereupon the sayd eight hogsheads of sugar and some other
goods which laye betweene decks and were most cumbersome and trouble
some to the hinderance of the preservation of the sayd shipp and the rest of her ladeing
were throwne over board and were lost and perished in the sea, which could
not bee avoided without the eminent hassard of the losse of the shipp and
all her ladeing and her Companyes and passengers lives And hee this deponent
verily beleeveth and is perswaded in his conscience that the sayd Croford and
Company would not have taken the sayd Bellingers eight hogsheads

To the 4th Interrogatorie hee saith the sayd sugars were stowed betweene decks, and
