places which hee mentioned, sayd then make a wesse and shoote
off a gunne and soe leave the shipp meaning the Recovery, and goe aboard of Captaine
Crofords (meaning the foresayd Crofords shipp) whereupon the
Shipps Company not being willing to forsake the shipp but desyrous
to preserve her and her ladeing did beare up the helme of the shipp and
make for Barbados which
the sayd Bartlett seeing, sayd doe what you will, I will take noe
such charge of the shipp, and soe went into his Cabbin and continued
there two or three dayes, and after tow or three dayes Came out of
his Cabbin againe and tooke upon him the charge of navigating
her as Master, and the winde not serving to get to the Barbados the
sayd Bartlet caused the Company to beare up for Antegoe and
they obeyed his Commands and brought her safe into five Island

his foregoeing deposition hee cannot depose for that hee was not made
privie to the rest of the transactions arlate./
