Ostend, asked them why (seeing they were bound for holland with their said shipp, and that the
said silver as hee understood was to goe thither) they landed and left it at
Ostend and did not carry it alonge with them, to which they answered
that the coast was not cleare enough for such and adventure,
and the danger considered, it was held safest to land and leave the same
there to be sent through the land in boates, or to the same effect; And
otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the 19th article hee saith and deposeth that after the seizure of the
said shipp, namely in or about the moneth of ffebruary last past hee this
deponent comming from dunquirke to dover and soe for London by land, went

house at the signe of the bell to refresh himselfe, and meeting accidentally
with some dutch mariners there, and falling into discourse with them, they
asked him howe hee came thither, and hee telling them that hee was
of holland, and was taken by the English, and asking them what shipp
they belonged unto, they told him that they belonged to the shipp the
Salvador which then was there lying before the towne, and came from Cales
and was taken by the English, and that they had lived there three or
foure monethes, and that a greate part of their silver had bin taken out
but was sent back aboard, and that they should suddenly be
cleared and gonne, and said and confessed that the said shipp together
with two other shipps namely the Sampson and the Saint George which were
alsoe taken with her or neere about the same time, were bound with
their silver and lading of other goods for Amsterdam, and that
thither they would goe, assoone as they were got cleare out, and
undertooke to carry this deponent a letter to his father and mother there
dwelling, and therefore willed him to make it speedily readie, and
acknowledged, that they here made showe and gave out that they
were bound for dunquirke or Ostend, and that in truth the masters
of the said shipps had for a colour hired their men for the said ports
of Ostend, or dunquirke, but they knewe well enough that they
were to goe and dischardge at Amsterdam, or to that effect. And
otherwise hee cannot depose.
