there stayed only two dayes and then came thense in Company of two English men
of warr which lay in Plymouth sound, and kept then company a while

warr and arrived safe with the Sea fflower and her ladeing at Saint Sebastians
this hee deposeth being one of the Company of the Sea fflower videlicet
the Gunner of her and an eye and eare wittnesse of the premisses, and

the sayd Imbargoe and the sayd Gefford replyed and sayd they should

laden aboard her) was seized, and the sayd three or fower and twenty
tonns of Iron soe laden aboard her which was all her ladeing shee had
