Saint Jacob was thereby in a good capacity to have avoided falling fowle
of the Isaack, of her Master and Company had used any the least care and
diligence soe to doe And saith the Master and Company of the Isaack when
they perceived the danger of the Saint Jacobs comming fowle of them called out
to the Company of the Saint Jacob and desyred them to beare up under the sterne
of the Isaack and tole them they would otherwise come fowle of her
and the Saint Jacobs Company might well heare and as hee beleeveth did
heare what was soe sayd to them and had sufficient tyme to have prevented
their falling fowle of the Isaack if they had pleased which, notwithstanding
the Jacobs Company held on their course and by that meanes came
fowle of the Isaack and rendered her in the perishing consition afore=
sayd And further to this Interrogatorie hee cannot answeare./

To the 5th Interrogatorie hee saith after the Company of the Isaack were in
manner aforesayd gotten aboard the Jacob for preservation of their lives

to give notice to the English Convoy of their distresse, and told them the
English Convoy had ordered them soe to doe if they happened by any
meanes into distresse and that upon such notice the Convoy had promised
to come to their releefe, but the Jacobs Master and company refused to
fyre any gunne and did not fyre any whereupon the sayd Company of
the Isaack desyred the Saint Jacobs Master and Company that they would stay
by the Isaack till morning to see what became of her and to helpe to
save those passengers which still remayned in her but the Saint Jacobs
Company refused to stay and went away and carried in their shipp the
Saint Jacob the company of the Isaack which had gotten aboard the Saint
Jacob and left the Isaack and her ladeing and the twelve passengers which
remayned in her to perish in the sea And further to this
Interrogatorie hee cannot answere./

To the sixth Interrogatorie hee saith that Mr Robert Sanders one
of the Interrogants, and Mr John Jobs and others Inhabitants
of Plymouth are the Owners and Proprietors of the shipp Isaack
(which is of the burthen of nynty tonne) and of her tackle and
furniture And saith the sayd shipp the tyme Interrogate was worth
in this deponents Judgment and estimate (shee being a strong shipp
of about two yeare old and well provided with all tackle and furniture) the
summe of seaven hundred pounds sterling And hee beleeveth her
ladeing was worth at the same tyme about sixe thousand pounds of
like money And further hee cannot answere./

To the last Interrogatorie hee saith that while hee was aboard the Saint Jacob hee did
observe that the Master and Company of her did by their effort and carriage
shew themselves very much displeased with a [XXXX]man that was
of the Saint Jacobs Company but this deponent not understanding the dutch
tongue knoweth not what they sayd but one of the passengers of the
Isaack who escaped with her company and gott aboard the Saint Jacob, and
