saith that the direct course from Zant to … saith that the direct course from Zant to the Streights mouth is about four<br />
hundred leagues and so accounted, and to sayle from Zant to Corsico and<br />
so to the Straights mouth is four hundred and ninety leagues and so accounted<br />
which is ninety leagues out of the way. And to sayle to Leghorne and so to the<br />
Streights mouth is about ten leagues more out of the way. By all which it appear=<br />
eth that to sayle from Salina Road first to Zant, then to Corsico, and so<br />
to Leghorne and then to the Straights mouth about one hundred and fifteene<br />
leagues out of the direct Course from the sayd Road of Salina in to the Straights mouth<br />
so as he that keeps the direct Course doth not come eyther to Zant, Corsica or<br />
Leghorne. The premisses this deponent knoweth to bee true by the common and<br />
generall aććompt of Mariners, and by his experience in those seas wherein<br />
he hath made severall voyages. And otherwise hee ćannot depose.
To the 16th. and 17th: articles he saith he hath little skill in the steeving of woolls<br />
but hath seene woolls steeved in other mens shipps att Alicant and Smirna<br />
and did observe that they did lay and steeve about 16 or 18 baggs a day And<br />
further he ćannot depose for the reason aforesayd
To the last he saith his deposition is true<br />
Upon the rest he is not examined by direction of the Producent
To the Crosse Interrogatories. [CENTRE HEADING]
To the first he saith he comes to be a witnes in this cause att the request of Mr ffooke and<br />
Mr Chowne; and he is noe way concerned in the sayd Cause. And further otherwise<br />
than negatively cannot answer
To the second he saith he never was att Ciprus steeving woolls. And otherwise hee<br />
ćannot depose.
To the third he saith he never made Ciprus his last Port homewards. and beleiveth<br />
it is usuall for shipps bound for London from Ciprus to goe to Zant unlesse<br />
there be order given to that purpose by the principalls. And further he ćannot<br />
depose.
To the 4th he saith he doth not know the ''Thomas Bonadventure'' nor can further<br />
ánswer for the reasons aforesayd.
To the 5th. he saith he knoweth nothing thereof.
To the .6th. he saith he knoweth of noe such usage in the streights as is here<br />
interrogated. neither did he this Rendent. after his shipp hath bene ready ever<br />
stay for Company without direction so to doe from his principalls.
To the 7th. he saith there is noe way for a shipp from Ciprus to England but<br />
by the Streights mouth. and in case the ''Thomas Bonadventure'' came from Ciprus<br />
to England he is confident she came that way. And there is noe doubt but that<br />
it often happens that shipps sayling from the Road of Salina meet with crosse<br />
and contrary winds so as they cannot hold the direct Course, but must and<br />
doe sayle this way and that way as they may to gett advantage of wind. And he<br />
saith that in turning to and fro the whole traverse may happen to be or<br />
contayne one hundred or more leagues more than the Course in a direct<br />
lyne when the wind is favourable, howbeit he saith the sayd traverse may<br />
and ought to be made as neere the direct line as may be and never to exceed<br />
six eight or ten leagues or thereabouts from the latitude which is direct to the intent that when the wind proves good the shipp<br />
may still be in her ready way homewards to take advantage of it, which if<br />
she sayle and hundred or more leagues from the direct Course she cannot doe, [#]
[#] neither is it usuall for<br />
shipps to sayle so farr<br />
from their direct<br />
latitude.<br />
Thomas Chinn
And otherwise he ćannot depose.
To the 8th. he saith that it ćannot happen as he beleiveth by any wind that the<br />
Course from Ciprus to Corsica and so to the Streights mouth can be as quick a<br />
passage as any other way. And further otherwise than negatively he<br />
ćannot depose.
Togatively he<br />
ćannot depose.
