That the said Ship was launched at _Deptford_ at _Castle’s_ Yard, about the 4th Day of _December_, 1695: And that the said Ship came to the _Buoy_ and _Nore_ about the latter End of _February_; and about the First Day of _March_ the men were pressed from on board the said Galley for the Fleet; and she was staid about Nineteen Days, and there sailed for the _Dounes_; and, about the Eighth or Tenth Day of _April_ arrived there; and thence sailed for _Plimouth_; and, on the 25th Day of the Month of _April_ 1696, the said Ship sailed from _Plymouth_; and, sometime in the Month of _May_, met with a small French Vessel, bound for _Newfoundland_, which they took, and made Prize of, and carried the same into _New York_ about the 4th Day of July following; and the same was condemned there as lawful Prize: And that, about the 6th Day of _September_ then also following, the said Galley sailed for the _Maderas_; and thence to _Bonavista_; thence to _St. Jago_; thence to _Telere_, and the _Island of Madagascar_; thence to _Johanna_, thence to _Mehila_, where they buried about Fifty of their Men in the Month of _May_ 1697; and thence sailed upon the Coast of _India_; and, returning back to _St. Marie’s_ the Ship was all along so leaky, that they feared she would have sunk every Hour; and that it required Eight Men every Two Glasses, to keep her free; and were forced to woold her round with Cables, to keep her together; and, with much ado, kept her above Water, and carried her into the said _Port of St. Marie’s_. And that they took Two Vessels, which they carried into the said Port; and the Men, which afterwards deserted the Galley, sunk one of them there; and threatened the Captain, and these Deponents, and others, now arrived here, to sink the other, that they might not go thence to tell News: And that about Ninety of the said Galley’s Crew deserted the same there; and that the said Galley proved so insufficient and leaky, that she possibly could not be repaired; and sunk at an Anchor in the same Port. And these Deponents further testify, That there was in the said Port a Pirate called the _Mocha_ Frigate: And the said Captain _Kidd_ proposed to his Men to take the same, having sufficient Power so to do; but the said Deserters, then being on board, told the said Captain _Kidd_, That, if he offered the same, they would fire Two Guns into him, rather than One into the Other; and immediately deserted the said Galley, and went on board the _Mocha_ Frigate. And these Deponents also further Depose, That with what Guns, Powder, and Sails, the said Captain _Kidd_ could save out of the said Galley from the Violence of the said Deserters, he purchased, at least, between Thirty and Forty Bales of Goods, which he has brought in the Sloop _St. Antonio_ into this Port, for the Use of the Owners of the said Galley.
