come to the side of the shipp the arlate C … come to the side of the shipp the arlate Croford and Company did<br />
refuse to take it aboard for that the shipp was fully laden and soe full of goods<br />
that shee could not with any conveniencie carrie more whereupon the sayd sugars<br />
lay by the shipp side two dayes and a night and then the sayd Bellinger came him<br />
selfe aboard and asked the shipps Company why the sayd eight hogsheads<br />
of sugar were not taken aboard and some of the Company replyed in<br />
presence of this deponent and others of the shipps company that the shipp was allready soe incumbered with<br />
goods that they were faine to stowe their provisions and alsoe some goods betweene<br />
decks and that therefore they could not take them in or to that effect<br />
and told him that if they should take it a board they should clogg up their gunnes<br />
soe that they could not make use of them if they were sett upon by an enymye<br />
or if they mett with tempest at sea in their passage they must bee foreced to<br />
heave them over board which notwithstanding the sayd Bellinger desyred<br />
to speake with the Captaine the sayd Croford, and did speake with him, and<br />
earnestly pressed him to take them aboard and told him hee had promised<br />
him to carry them for him and the sayd Croford answered and sayd<br />
hee the sayd bellinger should then have sent them sooner for his shipp was<br />
soe full now that hee could not well take them in and that if hee did<br />
take them and that any stormie weather came or that hee should meete<br />
with an enymye hee must bee forced to heave them over board to cleere<br />
his gunnes for his necessary defence or in case of tempest to lighten his<br />
shipp they being last laden and next hand and easiest to be come at, to preserve<br />
his shipp and the rest of his ladeing and the sayd Bellinger answered<br />
and sayd lett them bee taken aboard and if yow bee by storme or enymyes<br />
necessitated to heave thm overboard I will beare the dammage or words<br />
to that effect And this discourse happened upon the deck and upon the<br />
quarter deck of the sayd shipp in presence of this deponent and his Contests<br />
Woodfall and Ceeley and of Nicholas Allen John Gillett William Jepson<br />
and others of the sayd shipps Company, upon which promise of the sayd<br />
Bellinger the sayd eight hogsheads were taken aboard and stowed betweene<br />
decks abaft the mast this hee knoweth for that hee helped alsoe to stowe<br />
the sayd hogsheads And further hee cannot depose/.
To the 6th 7th and 8th hee saith that the sayd eight hogsheads being<br />
upon the promise and condition aforesayd shipped aboard the ''Gilbert'' shee<br />
departed therewith from the Barbados bound for London and in her course<br />
thither mett with extreame tempestious weather which began upon Christmas<br />
Eve at night Anno 1656 and continmued for three or fower dayes<br />
after with exceeding great violence in soe much that the shipp and their lives<br />
and ladeing would perish and thereupon by advise of the Master and his<br />
Mates and other the officers of the sayd shipp it was concluded that the shipp must of<br />
necessitie be lightned by casting over board some of the goods to preserve<br />
the rest and their lives, whereupon the sayd eight hogsheads of sugar being<br />
last laden and neerest hand to come by were throwne over board and they<br />
being cleered other goods as fustick and Cotton and other sugars which were alsoe<br />
stowed betweene decks were alsoe throwne overboard for the necessary preservation<br />
of the shipp and the rest of her ladeing and the lives of her Company and passengers<br />
