Transcription

To the 9th Interrogatorie hee saith that though a shipp bee staunch and strong before
a storme yet it doth not necessarily followe that therefore shee must receave noe
harme above water then under water for hee hath observed that oft tymes a
shipp is in a storme soe strayned in her seames that shee may and doth
receave more harme under water then above./

To the 10th Interrogatorie hee saith hee beleeveth that before the storme it was necessary
and usuall to pumpe the shipp three howers in a day or thereabouts and after
the storme shee stood neede to be pumped five howers in a day or thereabouts
and was pumped soe long at least every day till shee came into the river of
Thames, And further hee cannot answeeere./

To the last hee cannot answere knowing nothing thereof./
