shipp the ''Desire'', and thereby brake downe her quarter<br />
and the missen Master, and did alsoe breake two or three<br />
beams in the hould, wherof one was the maine<br />
Beame, and by her violent running upon her did alsoe<br />
runne her Anchor into the sides of the ''Desire'' under water<br />
soe that there was three or fower foote water in her hould<br />
(of the deponents certaine knowledge, who helpt in the<br />
pumping out of the water) And he saith that he did alsoe<br />
helpe in stopping the Leaks the Anchor of the<br />
''Sisters'' had made in her, with beefe, and that a flewke<br />
of the Anchor of the shipp the ''Sisters'' and halfe of the<br />
shanke of the other flewke were left in the sides of<br />
the shipp the ''Desire'' The premisses he deposeth because<br />
he was on board the shipp the ''Desire'' and very neere unto<br />
his precontest Giles Nicholls, when he called unto the Company<br />
of the said shipp the ''Sisters'' asking them where they would<br />
be, and because he heard the voyce of one of the said shipp<br />
the ''Sisters'' company answeare (aboard you) and because<br />
he did assist and helpe in pumping out of the [?wXXX]<br />
and stopping of the Leaks in the shipp the ''Desire''<br />
which happened by the willfull and violent running of the<br />
said shipp the ''Sisters'' aboard her the arlate shipp the<br />

if the sayd shipp the ''desire'' had not bin a strong and tight shipp<br />
and her Company bin very diligent (as it behooved them)<br />
in working severall wayes for her preservation shee<br />
had bun sunck and they (every of man of them) drowned.
To the fourth article, he saith that the arlate shipp the<br />
''Sisters'' might very easily (as he hath predeposed) having soe<br />
faire a gale of wind as shee had, have a voyded running<br />
aboard the ''Desire'', but he saith that the ''desire'' being at<br />
Anchor could not possibly have shifted or a boyded the ''Sisters''<br />
And further he cannot depose.
To the fifth article of the said allegation he deposeth<br />
that the shipp the ''Desire'' was a strong and stanch shipp<br />
before the damage done unto her by the ''Sisters'', and that<br />
since about [?X] ''li'' was bestowed upon her (as the Master hath<br />
sayd) she made but one voyage, and he saith that he<br />
conceiveth it could not cost lesse then 13 ''li'' in repayring<br />
those damages shee received by the ''Sisters'', And that for<br />
his part he beleiveth that by her being shaken by the<br />
''Sisters'' she is quite spoylt, and thereby much lesse<br />
worth then forty pounds of what she was<br />
before the damage done by the ''Sisters'' unto her<br />
happened. And further he cannot depose.
