And when they came upp to the said tent, they would not suffer the said Jacob Elkins (whoe was well knowne both to the Dutch and to the Indians) to trade there; but pulled downe a part of his tente, and inforced the said factor to send part of the goodes, which he had landed for trade, in the said shalloppe abord the said shippe the William, and the rest of the said goodes together with the said factor; and the rest of the English, which were there on shoare. The Dutch carryed in theire owne boate, abord the said shippe (and as he hath heard) did beate some of the Indians for tradinge with the Engiishe; and hee also sayeth, that the said Dutch, goinge abord the said shippe the William, weighed her anchors, and commannded her Companye to departe from thence. Whereuppon the Companye of the said Shippe, to keepe her from drivinge on shoare, putt her under saile, and sailed downe the said river. And the said Dutch hoye sailed downe with her. And when the said shippe came to the lower forte, the said Jacob Elkins did demande a certificate from the Governor to shewe to his merchants of the behavio"' of the Dutch towards the Engiishe but whether that ; certificate were denyed or given him, he knoweth not; and further he cannott depose. To the third hee sayeth, that the voyage of the said shippe the William was quite overthrowne by reason that the Dutch would not suffer her Companye to trade as aforesaid And the merchants that sett her forth, are thereby dampnified to the some of foure thousand poundes sterlinge att the least, as hee verily beleeveth, for (hee sayeth) if they had traded for and trucked awaye all the goodes, which shee brought from thence unto those Indians, with whome they were in trade, they mighte have gayned in trucke for the saide goodes soe much beaver and furrs as would have bine worth foure thousand poundes and upwards ; and this he affirmeth uppon his oath to bee true.
