sayd shipp the Golden Starr three howres and upwards before the sayd
shipp the Waterhound came in to their ayd and assistance.

To the .5.th he saith the Adventure and Advantage interrte were and are one
and the same shipp, And further saith that he knoweth the interrate shipps
the Advantage and Waterhound, and saith they were and are both of them
dutch built and so were att the tyme of their takeing and surprizeing
of the Morning Star or Golden Star aforesayd.

To the .6.th he saith he was present aboard the shipp Advantage for and during
all the tyme of the ffight interrate from the beginning to the end thereof.

To the .7.th he saith that the Advantage frigott which first chased haled
and fought with the Golden Starr of the knowledge of this deponent
had att the tyme of first haling comeing upp and fighting with the
sayd Golden Starr the English Colours ineky, out, and did then weare them out,
and not any Holland Colours or ffrench Colours, either in her sternes
topmast or maintopmast or elsewhere; But saith that att the tyme
of the first sight of the Golden Starr and att the tyme of shooting
the first warming peices being att a great distance the sayd
Advantage frigott did weare the Holland Colours in ther poope?s
And otherwise he cannot depose.

To the .8th. he saith that after sayd tyme as the Advantage frigot came
