backs And this being done and all things portable hidd and putt out of [?the GUTTER]
way as well as they could, the Manne of warr aforesayd came neere and
haled the sayd dutch shipp shee having then her dutch Colours upon her
Mast, and asked whense shee was and with what laden and whether bound and was answered by the Master of her
that shee belonged to Rotterdam and that her ladeing was oyle and whale bone
and that shee was bound for Roane, which notwithstanding the
Captaine of the sayd man of warr coammanded the Master of the sayd
dutch vessell to hoyste out his owne boate and come on board the mann
of warr and bring his papers with him which the Master accordingly did.
And being come on board the man of warr they kept him there
some tyme, and in the meane tyme sent two or three of the man of warrs
company in the dutch shipps boate aboard the dutch shipp and they
being aboard her went into the masters Cabbin and downe into the hold and
searched up and downe the shipp to soe what goods shee had,
and asked the sayd Mr ffownes and others aboard the sayd shipp whome
and what they were, and having spent some tyme in thus doeing and
thereby hindred and interrupted the sayd dutch shipp in the Course
of her voyage they carried away some few utensells belonging to the
sayd dutch shipp as a scoope and a mapp pretending that they wanted such,
these premisses hee deposeth of
his sight and knowledge being aboard the sayd dutch shipp And saith
that the Master of the dutch shipp afterwards coming againe aboard his owne shipp
sayd, that while hee was on board the mann of warr, although
hee had made it appeare by his writings that his shipp and
goods did not belonge to any enymies of the King of Spaine but
ought by the league aforesayd to bee free, yet some of the Company
of the man of warr did put their hands into his pocketts and tooke out
his knife and would have kept it, but upon his Complainte to the
Captaine of the man of warr hee caused them to restore it to him
againe, And the sayd
Mann of warr being gone the Master of the dutch shipp and some of the mariners told this
deponent and the sayd Mr Le Thieulieur and Mr ffownes that they
feared the sayd Man of warr would not leave the sayd dutch shipp
soe, but would come againe at night whereupon this deponent and
the sayd Thieulieur and ffownes and one Mr Edward Slaughter a
passenger in the sayd dutch shipp went in a fisherman that
laye hard by, on shoare at Mitsout a smale village betwixt Boloigne
and Callice and tooke their Portmantuaes a longe with them And soe
left the sayd shipp./
To the 5th hee saith hee cannot of his certayne Knowledge depose any
thing to this article but saith that the arlate Nathaniell denew (whom this
deponent knoweth to bee a Merchant of London) told this deponent
that about November last hee the sayd denew having shipped
him selfe at Rotterdam to come thense for Colchester
the sayd shipp was mett with by a man of warr belonging to
dunkirk or Ostend and to subiects of the King of Spaine and that they
plundered
