for Rocks, and Shelves; and saith that the … for Rocks, and Shelves; and saith that the said Grove<br />
after hee had Given the said order to this deponent did<br />
the same day goe on shore about some busines, in a Country<br />
boate, (because hee would not hinder the said Ship<br />
in taking his owne boate,) and about one or two<br />
of the Clock in the next morning did come onboard<br />
the said Ship ''Peace'', and the Morning beginning to be light<br />
the said Grove ordered his Anchor to be weighed<br />
Imediately, and soe sailed from thence, And saith<br />
that the said Grove did not doe any prejudice<br />
to the said Voyage by any stay of his either at ffalmouth<br />
or Pendennis Castle or places Adjacent, and further<br />
cannot depose:/:
To the 3th hee saith that from Pendennis Castle the said<br />
Grove sailed the said Ship to the River of Nants<br />
where shee tooke in the Lading of Salt and saith<br />
the said Grove did not refuse to receive or take on<br />
board the said Ship, any salt that was sent to the<br />
said Ship, untill such time as the said Ship was fully<br />
laden, and soe full that shee could not with safety<br />
beare more, because shee drew about thirteene<br />
ffoote water at her Sterne, and about Eleaven foot<br />
and halfe at her head, And saith shee was laden<br />
about three Inches above her Lading marke.<br />
which is not usually done, neither ought shee to be laden<br />
above her Loading marke. And further saith that<br />
before the said Grove did turne back any boates<br />
Lading of salt, hee the said Grove did send a Noate<br />
by One of his Company to the said Luke Wood, /who<br />
was on shore,) that hee could not take in noe more<br />
Salt, because the said Ship was fully Laden already<br />
or to that effect, And saith that Besides the<br />
said salt which was Laden onboard the said Ship, the<br />
said Luke Wood had severall goods on board<br />
the said Ship, namely. about thirty Quoyles of Rope<br />
two Great Trunks, severall Quarter Caskes with [XXX GUTTER]<br />
and Oyle, and barrells of Pitch and Tarre, and some<br />
other Things which were for the said Woods owne Private Trade<br />
and account, which said Goods did as hee beleeveth hinder<br />
the Lading of Tenne Tonne of Salt, on board the said<br />
Ship, for had not they bin on board her, she would<br />
well have Carried and borne tenne Tonns more<br />
And saith that the said Ship being soe fully Laden as<br />
aforesaid. was the only Cause that the said Grove did<br />
refuse to take more Salt on board the said Ship, And<br />
if the said Grove had taken more Salt on board it [would GUTTER]<br />
haven board it [would GUTTER]<br />
have +
