the water came in so far. Neverthelesse he … the water came in so far. Neverthelesse he saith that another Pilot<br />
being sent from Dover brought her into the harbour with much<br />
hazard and difficulty hawleing her in by a Cable made fast<br />
to a Captsane upon the shoare, without which the sayd shipp and<br />
goods in her had undoubtedly sunke. And moreover saith that after<br />
the ''Angelo Custode'' was so brought into harbour the storme did<br />
still continue and the [?bellowes] did so tosse and dash her sides<br />
and keele against the sands that it was a wondrous mercy and<br />
provedence of god that she burst not in peices, howbeit she<br />
sprang so many and great leakes as spoyled many of the<br />
Commodities with the water she receyved being about four<br />
foot deepe of water in her hold. And he further saith that<br />
afterwards he did use his best diligence and advise of the<br />
most able workemen he could procure and did so farr stopp the<br />
leakes of the sayd shipp as to make her able to gett to the Port of<br />
London, where he might unlade and repair her, it being not possible<br />
without unlading her so to amend her as to make her able to procede<br />
on her voyage for hamburgh, for he saith he had much adore to<br />
gett to this Port, notwithstanding the pumpe was att worke conti=<br />
nually, besides he saith ten of his mariners ran away from him<br />
at dover not daring to adventure their lives any further in the<br />
sayd shipp. And saith that with much hazard he att last brought the<br />
''Angelo Custode'' aforesayd to the Port of London on or about the<br />
seven and twentyeth day of August aforesayd new stile, and unladed<br />
her best goods videlicet the Rice, Almonds, Currants and Anniseeds<br />
aforesayd and about nineteene Chests of Brimstone. And then<br />
carryed her downe to a banke in the River to be veiwed and searched<br />
by workmen whether it would [?quitt] cost to repair her, the lose<br />
brimstone being about thirty tonnes and serving for ballast being<br />
still left in her. And being arrived att a place neere Saint Catherines<br />
for that purpose about the fifteenth day of September new stile last past<br />
she sett a ground and att the ebbing of the tide tumbled on the<br />
one side so as she opened in her keele or bottome from stemme to<br />
sterne, And was presently filled with water. And he further saith<br />
that he did endeavour to have weighed her that it was not possible to [?XXX GUTTER]<br />
be done, and that it would Cost farr more then she was worth to mende<br />
her, she being found all splitt in her bottome and timbers, and doth<br />
therefore now lye under water being fitt for noe use but for [?the GUTTER]<br />
fire, and very little worth. But he saith the sayles tackle and<br />
other things that could be saved. (six gunnes excepted which [?are GUTTER]<br />
still in her) were taken out of her and preserved, And the sayd [?XXX GUTTER]<br />
brimstonee sayd [?XXX GUTTER]<br />
