told this deponent that hee heard the Company of the ''Providence''<br />
saye that for halfe an howers tyme after the sayd<br />
disaster happened they looked continually when they should<br />
see the ''Samuell'' sinke, And saith that the ''Samuell'' by the meanes<br />
aforesayd was very much damnified but to what value hee<br />
cannot depose for that her ladeing of Coales is not yet out of her<br />
and a view not taken of her hurt receaved, And further to thes articles<br />
hee cannot depose/
To the 3 article hee saith that hee observed that after the dammage<br />
done as aforesayd the sayd shipp ''Providence'' did make towards Whitby<br />
which was about five leagues further off than Scarborough was, [?when GUTTER]<br />
as shee might with more ease and safety have gained Scarborough<br />
and might have gotten to Scarborough twoe or three howers before<br />
the ''Samuell'' came thither, And saith hee heard the sayd passenger<br />
after hee came on board the ''Samuell'' againe as aforesayd, saye<br />
that the Company of the ''Providence'' lookeing still when the ''Samuell''<br />
would sinke, did in the meane tyme neglect to [?trye] their owne<br />
pumpe, but afterwards [try]eing the same, found that shee had alsoe<br />
receaved some harme by the meanes aforesayd, and thereupon, night<br />
draweing in, the ''Providence'' and her Company came a shoare in<br />
a place called Robin hoods bay (being a place about the midd<br />
way betwixt Scarborough and Whitby) and there bilged her upon a<br />
Rock and thereby much preiudiced her, for hee heard the sayd<br />
passenger and alsoe a Carpenter who went from Scarborough<br />
to [?buy] the ''Providence'' after she was bilged, saye, that if shee<br />
had not bilged upon the Rock shee had not receaved the worth<br />
of five shillings dammage in her hull And further to this<br />
article hee cannot depose./
To the 4th and 5th hee saith that while the ''Samuell'' remayned at<br />
Scarborough hee this deponent sawe the sayles masts<br />
yards Anchors and Cables and boate of the ''Providence''<br />
brought to Scarborowe they being saved, and hath heard<br />
divers of the Inhabitants of Scarborough saye that the<br />
[?gammes] of the sayd shipp ''Providence'' were alsoe saved, and<br />
that the sayd Otter sold the hull of the sayd shipp for fifteene<br />
pounds five shillings sterling, and that the sayd Otter, was<br />
offered twelve pence a horse load for all her ladeing<br />
of Coales but refused to take it saying that hee would<br />
have for them according as the markett price was at<br />
Whitby And saith that for the reasons before declared<br />
hee is verily perswaded in his conscience that had the sayd<br />
Otter carried his sayd shipp and ladeing into Scarborough<br />
as hee might easily have done, and as the sayd Lee did the<br />
''Samuell'', hee might have saved his sayd shipp ''Providence'' and<br />
ladeing with very smale losse And what losse happened to<br />
the ''Providence'' and her ladeing hee well knoweth happened<br />
not by any default of the sayd Lee or any of his Company<br />
but in this deponents Judgment happened thereto through the<br />
