To the 5th hee saith that if the sayd Otte … To the 5th hee saith that if the sayd Otter had carried his sayd<br />
shipp and her ladeing into Scarborough as hee might very well<br />
have done, hee had without all doubt saved both his shipp and goods<br />
and might have had what dammage shee receaved by running fowl of<br />
the ''Samuell'' repaired there for a small charge And hee saith that hee<br />
this deponent heard the sayd Otter lately videlicet since the disaster afore-<br />
sayde happened confesse and acknowledge that hee did veryly beleeve<br />
that if hee had not bilged upon the rock aforesayd hee had<br />
saved both his sayd shipp and goods And therefore and for the<br />
reasons in his foregoing deposition declares hee is well assured<br />
that what dammage happened to the sayd Otters shipp and<br />
ladeing happened through the willfullness or carelessnesse<br />
of the sayd Otter and his Company and not through any default<br />
of the sayd Lee and his Company of the ''Samuell'' And further<br />
hee cannot depose./
To the last hee saith his foregoeing deposition is true/
