Land it was that were neere soe that the m … Land it was that were neere soe that the master aforesayd and Company<br />
perceiveing such his unskillfullness in knowledge of the sayd Coast caused two<br />
gunnes to be shott off to envite some pylott aboard to direct them in their<br />
course towards Druntam, but none comeing, and it growing towards night,<br />
was enforced for the more security of the sayd shipp and her company's Lives<br />
to stand off to sea againe till morning, and the sayd Fare then not knowing<br />
the land the master and company were forced the next day to direct and shapeth<br />
sayd shipps course as well as they could towards Druntam by a booke<br />
called a waggoner which they had aboard, and showed how the lande made<br />
towards Druntam aforesayd, which they needed not to have done if the sayd<br />
Fare had bin an experienced pilott in those parts as hee ought (undertaking<br />
the sayd office to have bin and intended him soe to be) by which meanes the sayd shipp arrived at<br />
Druntam at least tenn or twelve dayes after shee might and would in all probability have<br />
arrived there if the sayd Fare had well knowne the way thither as hee<br />
pretended hee did and bin able to give directions for shapeing her voyage thither And further<br />
saving his his subsequent deposicion hee cannot<br />
to these articles depose./
To the 7th and8th articles hee saith that the sayd shipp ''Angell Gabriell'' coming<br />
at last meere the River of Druntam the sayd Fare being asked by the sayd master touching knowledge<br />
of that place did not then knowe where the<br />
was now the way into the sayd River (although hee pretended when hee came first<br />
aboard as pilott to know the say River and the places fitt for<br />
anchorage therein) soe that the master and Company perceiving such his<br />
unskillfullness were forced to make use of two men who were neere<br />
them in a Yawle or Fisher boate to be thir pilotts and guides into the sayd<br />
River and shew them convenient place for anchorage therein because<br />
the River being very longe and very deepe of<br />
water and Druntum standing many leagues up the river the same<br />
river afforded very few fitt places for anchorage and the sayd Fare<br />
was soe ignorant of those places fitt for anchorage that because hee<br />
could, the sayd master and (????) came at (Agonesse) that hee might fasten<br />
he sayd ship to a ringe in the rocks at Agonesse which was and is a place<br />
only where Fisher boates used to fasten<br />
and yet soe ignorent hee was that hee knew not the place hee soe named when hee passed<br />
by it, and this was well observed by the sayd Master and this deponent and<br />
all or most of the sayd shipps company And further saving his predeposed and<br />
subsequent deposition hee cannot depose./
To the 9th hee saith the said the sayd shipp in her returne from Druntam arlate<br />
to the Downes met with contrary windes and foule weather which<br />
drive her out of her ordinary course upon the Coast of Holland and<br />
the master then asking him the sayd Fare in the presence of this deponent and those of the<br />
sayd shipps company where the sayd shipp then<br />
was, hee the sayd Fare could not tell, but named places thirty or<br />
forty leagues distant from the place shee then was at which his ignorance<br />
of what places (as this deponent believeth and judgeth) for that the<br />
sayd Fare (as this deponent and the rest of the sayd shipps Company well observed)<br />
was extreame negligent in his dutie of a pylott both outward and homewardstie of a pylott both outward and homewards +
