warpe or towe the Foundered Ship at high-water to ſome place
<
lb
/>
where it may lie a-ground: and by that means upon the Ebbe or
<
lb
/>
Receſſion of the Tide, it will lie much more above water; and then
<
lb
/>
you may ſafely unfaſten it from thoſe five or more Tires of Beames,
<
lb
/>
to which it was at firſt tyed, to hall it to a place of ſafety, as it was
<
lb
/>
our purpoſe to do; and this ſhall ſucceed as well in an ouzie
<
lb
/>
tom, as in a Stony, This though you may take notice of, that if
<
lb
/>
the Cargo of this new Foundred Ship was ſuch, that the things more
<
lb
/>
grave than the water, did not much exceed the leſs grave, it would
<
lb
/>
be eaſie to effect the recovery with two Ships, very much leſs than
<
lb
/>
thoſe which we have ſpoken of above; yet nevertheleſs it will be
<
lb
/>
good prudence to take them rather bigger than leſſer, that ſo they
<
lb
/>
may exceed 200000 pounds in Power, rather than want one only
<
lb
/>
ounce in Act; eſpecially in caſe you would in a deep place at the
<
lb
/>
firſt motion hoiſt it by meer Force ſomewhat above the Surface of
<
lb
/>
the water, for in that point alone it will require incomparably much
<
lb
/>
more force, than in all the other operations.</
