of on board her, laye at Anchor neere Dirke shoare arlate in a safe and convenient place<br />
where shipps use to ride And hee saith that in the sayd Moneth of May and<br />
whilst the ''Pilgrim'' roade there safe at Anchor the arlate Shipp the ''Exeter''<br />
''Marchant'' (whereof the arlate Thomas Woodfin is reputed Master) did<br />
fall fowle of the ''Pilgrim'' aforesayd and her ladeing and brake the ''Pilgrim''s<br />
head and bolspritt and both her cables and by the violence of such her<br />

did thereby much wringe her soe that some of her ?trunnells started, by meanes<br />
whereof and by the ''Ex?i/eter''<br />
''Merchant'' falling fowle of her the ''Pilgrim'' divers of the Caske wherein the oyles and<br />
wines belonging to the sayd Bathurst Clarke and Baker were, ?now/were soe<br />
crushed and bruised that they became very leakie, and leaked out a great<br />
quantitie of the oyle and wyne that was in them, in soe much [OR ONE WORD?] that the ''Pilgrim''s<br />
Company soone after the disaster arlate having gotten their sayd shipp on<br />
floate againe and well moored, did sett their pumpe to worke the better to discover what damage<br />
was done by the meanes aforesayd and to cleere the shipp from water,<br />
and thereby found that the sayd Caske had received damage and that<br />
much oyle and wine was leaked out of them, and was pumped up in great<br />
abundance soe that a whole butt of oyle was pumped at the first<br />
tyme of pumping after the sayd disaster, besides what ?came<br />
up at the pumpe mixed with water and soe could not be saved, and saith that<br />
allwaies after the sayd shipp ''Pilgrim'' was soe runne on ground, there came<br />
up oyle at the pumpe every tyme the pumpe was used, (which was<br />
divers tymes) and wine alsoe as he beleeveth though it were not soe easie to<br />
be discovred amongst the water as the oyle was, this hee deposeth being<br />
Masters mate and on board and an eye witnesse And further saving this<br />
subsequent deposition hee cannot depose saving hee saith the sayd ''Exeter 'Marchant''<br />
fell fowle of the ''Pilgrim'' and runne her on ground and damaged her as aforesayd<br />
through the neglect and careless?ness of her Company as hee beleeveth [SYMBOL][INDICATES WHERE MARGIN NOTE (BELOW) SHOULD BE ADDED]
To the 5th article hee saith That by reason of the damage and hurt predeposed<br />
occasioned by the meanes aforesayd there were leaked out ?twelve<br />
butts of oyle ?X whereof as ?hereafter is ?declared were ?saved of the pumpe and two butts of Spanish wine, the wines belonging to the sayd<br />
Baker, and the sayd Oyles to the sayd Bathurst and Clarke, but how many<br />
of the butts of oyle leaked out. belonged to the sayd Bathurst, and how many of them<br />
to the sayd Clarke hee cannot distinguish, but knoweth there were soe many leaked<br />

The premisses hee deposeth being present when the<br />

[CATCHWORDS=] knoweth not
[MARGIN NOTE] [SYMBOL] and the reason of such his beleefe is for that hee heard the company of a shipp to which the ''Exeter Merchant''<br />
endeavoured to fasten her selfe ?spake to the Company of the ''Exeter Marchant'' to forbeare ffastneing to their shipp, and<br />
beleeveth the tyde then served, well enough for the ''Exeter Merchant'' to have moored by her selfe<br />
without relying upon a fast to the sayd other shipp.<br />
