upon the coast of Norway met with another … upon the coast of Norway met with another very greate and violent<br />
storme (the winde being west Nor west and blowing hard) by meanes<br />
whereof the said shipp was againe much endangered to be cast away, and<br />
her fore castle, cabbin and round house were over flowne and full<br />
of water, and the said shipp by meanes of the force of the<br />
said storme not being able to get into any harbour on the coast of<br />
Norway, was driven upon the coast of Jutland, where severall<br />
shipps and vessells were cast away by the same storme, to the number (as it was<br />
commonly reported on that coast) of an hunded and twenty. And saith that<br />
there with much adoe, the said shipp the ''Saint Jacob'' came to an anchor<br />
on the third (or thereabouts) of the said moneth of October, and there<br />
ridd till towards evening, at which time her company got up her<br />
anchor, and bearing a very prest saile, shee was on or about<br />
the fifth of the same moneth driven back the coast of Norway, all which hee<br />
knoweth being in her, and seeing the same soe donne.
To the third hee saith that on or about the twentieth of the said<br />
moneth of October last, the said shipp set saile from Norway for this<br />
port of London, and in her course comming neere the dogger-sand<br />
shee there met with another very violent storme and tempesy which<br />
continued about six dayes and nights space without intermission<br />
with the winde at West South west, by occasion of which storme<br />
the rudder of the said shipp became loose, and hung but by one hooke<br />
and was in greate danger to be lost, and the cabbin and deck of the<br />
said vessell were filled with sea water which came therein by the<br />
force of the said storme, by meanes of the extremitie and duration<br />
whereof the master and company of the said shipp were constrained<br />
to use and did really use their utmost endeavour for the oreservation<br />
both of the said shipp and goods and their owne lives. And saith that<br />
the said storme forced the said shipp back againe to Norway, where shee<br />
was constrained (by reason of contrary windes) forced to remaine about<br />
three weekes space, during which space her master and company<br />
repaired her said rudder, all which hee knoweth for the reasons<br />
aforesaid being present and seeing the same soe happen and to be soe<br />
donne.
To the fourth article hee saith and deposeth that on or about the tenth<br />
of November last the said shipp againe set saile from Norway and<br />
againe comming in her course for London neere the dogger sands<br />
there happened another greate and violent storme which continued for the<br />
space of eight dayes or thereabouts with the winde at West South west<br />
(or neare that point) with such violence and tempetuousnesse that the<br />
maine saile of the said shipp was by the force thereof torne in peeces<br />
