Transcription

To the seaventh hee saith that the said master and company being by the dutch soe
frustrated of all her hopes of carrying the Olive branch into Bantam
they went with her to a small Iland on the coast of
Sumatra called Pullay[?mudi], being an extreame hot and unhealthy
place where the master and diverse others of the said ships company
died, and there the said ship remained about eleaven weekes
and tooke in such lading as shee could have privately brought from
Bantam in boates by night, which hee knoweth, being
then become master of her upon such the said Bramptons death. And
further hee deposeth not.

To the eighth hee saith that be meanes of the said ship the Olive
branch her soe long tarrying there for her lading (occasioned by the
dutch as aforesaid) shee lost her Montsoones (sic), (being
a constant winde serving for such a space of time to bring shipps
thense for theise parts, and constantly for another space (after
that is over) blowing the contrary way) and by meanes thereof
was forced to put into the Mauritius to winter, the time being
past for her coming for England, which hee knoweth being then
master of her.

To the nineth hee saith that the said ship did not come to ligorne
(although shee used all diligence) until the seaventeenth
(old stile) of January 1657, or thereabouts, whereas if
shee had bin permitted in time to have gone into Bantam,
shee might have dispatch taking in her lading there in a
matter of fourteen or sixteen dayes (and soe agent Skinner
assured them they might) and that in all probabilitie shee
might and would have arrived at Ligorne in the moneth of July
1657 namely six monethes or thereabouts sooner than shee did/
all which delay and the damage thereof came and was occasioned
by such detention and hinderance by the said dutch ships, which dutch
ships were in the service and imployment of the
East India company of the United Netherlands, and soe
commonly accounted.

To the tenth hee saith the said ship the Olive branch was and
is of the burthen of two hundred tonnes or thereabouts, and
carried in her the said voyage eighteen guns and fourtie two
men and boyes, and was worth [XXXX] to freight for the
East Indias two hundred and fiftie pounds per moneth or
thereabouts, which hee knoweth being a mariner of many
yeares standing, and having bin master of her.

To the eleaventh hee saith that this deponent (then master) and
company of the said ship using all diligence to further and
advantage their voyage, after the winter was a little over speeded
away from the Mauritius, and by reason of such their early
coming away, met with extreame and violent stormes,
betwixt the said Mauritius Iland and the Cape de bonne Esperance
