To the 3d. he saith that the sayd shipp th … To the 3d. he saith that the sayd shipp the tyme interrate lay about miles from the<br />
shoare, and about a league from the place where the woolls were to bee taken in<br />
And saith that the numbers of baggs interrate might be brought aboard in<br />
ten dayes or lesse, in ćase there were roome enough aboard to dispose of them.<br />
but there was not roome enough in the sayd shipp to recyve so many without<br />
steeving. And otherwise he cannot answer.
To the 4th he saith that the interrate Instruments were not brought away in the said shipp,<br />
but were by this Rendent twice carryed to shoare from the shipp after her returne<br />
from Scanderoone the voyage aforesayd. And this he is sure of And otherwise<br />
cannot depose.
To the 5th. hee saith he hath made onely one voyage to Ciprus being the voyage<br />
in question
To the 6. 7. and eighth. hee saith that the direct Course from Cyprus to England is<br />
directly to the Streights mouth and Zant is something out of the sayd direct<br />
Course, but as the wind stood the voyage in question, the sayd direct course could<br />
not be sayled. And saith the direct Course from Zant to England (as to the<br />
Streights, and Corsica is about 40 leagues out of such direct Course, yet as<br />
the winds often happen to be the Course by Corsica may be assoone performed.<br />
And saith Leghorne is as he taketh it about 25 leagues more out the<br />
sayd direct Course than Corsica is. And further or otherwise hee ćannot<br />
answer.
To the 9th. he saith, that 100 baggs of woolls being steeved in a shipp of the<br />
burthen interrate there is not roome for 170. baggs more to be receyved<br />
on board and steeved afterwards; and that therefore fourty four men<br />
cannot receyve so many on board and steeve them afterwards # And<br />
otherwise he cannot answer.
# but he saith so=
many baggs may<br />
be receyved on<br />
board by degrees<br />
as the steeving<br />
worke goes forward<br />
and in like way for<br />
them and not<br />
otherwise.

To the 10th. he saith he doth not know nor beleive that Captaine Hughes interrate did<br />
att any tyme before the 22th day of May interrate declare to Roger<br />
ffooke and Richard Chowne or eyther of them, or to any other person whatsoever<br />
that he the said Hughes would stay for the Convoy interrate or that he would<br />
tarry att Ciprus till Captaine
To the 11th. he saith the sayd shipp was ballasted with gravell, and the galls<br />
interrate were all putt in sackes and not shott loose, and were, he, is sure,<br />
brought in the sayd sackes to Porto Longonde # And otherwise he cannot depose.

To the 12th. he saith that in the steeving of woolls it is the usuall Course first to<br />
lay a Tier of baggs and then to steeve in as many more baggs as<br />
are teired, and sometymes more. And the same Course was observed<br />
by this deponent, and his mates in the steeving the woolls interrate. And<br />
otherwise he ćannot depose.
To the 13th. he saith that in the lading of woolls it is usuall to fetch about<br />
twenty baggs some dayes from the shore to prevent losse of tyme and<br />
keepe the men att worke. and afterwards as roome is made by steeving<br />
to fetch more, and still to be ćarefull that the acts of the shipp be not<br />
[?postened] with two<note>read: too</note> many baggs for feare of tempests, and other inconveniences<br />
as the hindering the men in their steeving and the like. And this Course<br />
was observed in lading the woolls interrate. And further, otherwise than<br />
negatively he cannot answer to this Interrogatorie.
To the 14th. he saith that the order and method of lading wools is thus. first a<br />
Tier of baggs is Layd which in a shipp of the burthen interrate may conteyne<br />
about 13 baggs, and this may be done in about two houres tyme. then the<br />
steeving beames are to be placed, bolted and fixed which worke will<br />
ordinarily require a dayes tyme, afterward, it is proceeded to steeving<br />
in doeing whereof the number of men interrate may some dayes steive halfe<br />
a dozen or more baggs, and some dayes not above three, and some tymes<br />
not above one by reason of the very great difficulty of steeving the uppermost<br />
sackes whereof by the violence of the worke sometymes the great ropes<br />
