To the third and fourth and fifth Interrog … To the third and fourth and fifth Interrogatories he saith and deposeth that there was a<br />
Biskayer or other Spanish man of warr anchored alsoe in the<br />
said Roade at the sametime whereupon Eleazar le Merchaut master of the said<br />
shipp ''ffortune'' (who was alsoe Sopra cargo in respect of part of<br />
her lading) went ashore to the end (as hee said) to speake with the [?said GUTTER]<br />
Merchaut to whom hee was consigned, to and to know whether the<br />
place where the shipp was anchored was convenient to take in her<br />
ladeing or not, and saith then about three quarters of an houre<br />
or an houre after such his going ashore, there came a pilot aboard<br />
as sent from the said merchaut of [?Narmontier] and acquainted this deponent and her<br />
company aboard, that the place wherein they lay was not convenient<br />
and safe in regard of the danger of the said Biskayer, and that<br />
hee was sent by Mr Gazeau to bring her into a more convenient<br />
and safe place, nearer the shore for the taking in of the rest of her lading; and<br />
thereupon after the said shipp had tarried about foure howers at anchor<br />
in the place where shee was as aforesaid brought to anchor, the said<br />
pilote soe comming from thence caused her to be thence removed<br />
to goe nearer the shore and in such removall brought her upon a<br />
Sand banck, whence shee was quickly after gott off againe, and<br />
then endeavouring still to bring her nearer the shore hee brought<br />
her to an anchor in a place which hee said was safe and convenient<br />
but it proved farr other, it being over a rock, upon which rock<br />
the said shipp in the night upon the falling away of the tide and<br />
a greate tempest arising (as hee saith it did) bilged and beate<br />
in such manner, that being thereby made exceeding leakie, shee<br />
received water in such abundance that shee sanck and was<br />
full of water in the hold, and could not be set to sea againe<br />
without first repairing and amending, which All which hee<br />
knoweth being masters mate, and present and being the things<br />
so happen.
To the sixth article hee saith that by reason of the said bilging<br />
and beating of the said shipp against the rock and her leakinesse<br />
and taking in water and sinking as aforesaid, shee remained [?and GUTTER]<br />
was underwater about seaven dayes together, before shee could<br />
be gotten up, in which there were sometimes two and [?sometimes GUTTER]<br />
three boates or more and twenty or five and twenty men<br />
or thereabouts inployed continually about pumping out the [?water GUTTER]<br />
and other worke for the weighing up of the said shipp, the rudder<br />
whereof was broken, and two of her planckes, and [XXX GUTTER]<br />
foote of her keele broke and carried away, all which hee knoweth<br />
being the same soe donne .
To the seaventh hee saith that there were three or foure carpenters<br />
imployed about repairing the said shipp for eight or nine dayes<br />
together or thereabouts to worke day and night as the tide [XXX GUTTER]<br />
and permitted, and that one of them had sixtie [?sols] per day<br />
pay for his worke, another fiftie and another fourtie five or<br />
thereabouts, and saith the cost of worke man shipp and materialls [?about GUTTER]<br />
the necessarie repaires and amending of the said shipp occasioned [?by GUTTER]<br />
the said mishap, and other charges happening by her said bilging<br />
andpening by her said bilging<br />
