of the dutch there, and procure leave of him for the Olive Branch to goe
into Bantam, and the sayd Mr Skinner (as the sayd Brampton aff[irmed]
to this deponent and others of the Company of the Olive Branch) told the sayd
Brampton that it was to noe purpose to sollicite the Generall to that
effect, for hee the sayd Skinner had bin there with the Generall to get
permission for the ship Endymion (who wanted only some smal[e]
quantitie of her ladeing) to goe into Bantam for the same, and that
the Generall had utterly refused to give any such leave, and had
expressely forbidden the goeing thither of the Endymion or any
other English ship whatsoever, Whereupon this deponent well knoweth
that the sayd Brampton sett sayle with the Olive Branch from
Battavia in Company of the Endymion for the roade of Bantam
intending to trye againe if they could get in, but the dutch
shipps there lyeing espying them, weighed Anchor and towed
their shipps with their boates (there being little wynde) and came
and Anchored round about the Olive Branch and Endymion, and told
the Masters of them in expresse termes that they should not goe
in to Bantam, this hee deposeth of his sight and knowledge, And
hath heard divers of the Company of the Olive branch saye
that they heard the Commanders and Companyes of the sayd
dutch shipps saye and threaten that if the Endymion and Olive
Branch did endeavour any more to goe in to Bantam they
would sinke them, by which meanes the Olive Branch and
Endymion were both (of this deponents knowledge) hindered from
goeing into Bantam to take in their ladeing there, And further
hee cannot depose./

To the 7th hee saith that the Master and Company of the Olive Branch
being by the dutch hindered from goeing with their sayd ship into
Bantam they went with her to a smale Island called Pullagunde
being upon the Coast of Sumatra, and being an extreame hot
and unhealthfull place, where by reason of the Intemperature
thereof the Master of her the sayd Brampton, and divers of his
Company dyed, And the sayd ship was constrained to stay there
eleaven weekes and better to take in her ladeing which was
secretly brought thither from Bantam in boates in the
night tyme, this hee knoweth being then Mate to William
Stannard, who upon the death of the sayd Brampton (being before
chief Mate) became Master of her And further hee cannot depose

To the 8th hee saith that by reason the Olive Branch was by the
meanes aforesaid soe long in ladeing shee lost her Monsoones,
which is a constant winde which continually (until a certayne tyme
in the yeare) blowes to bring shipps thence for England, and
after such a tyme blowes contrary, soe that thereby the Olive
Branch was forced to put into a place called the Maurisses
to winter there the tyme being past for her coming for
England And further hee cannot depose./
