Waterhound wearing the Colo:rs allso of this Commonwealth came in to the

And the M:r & Company of the Golden Starr fired upon the Waterhound and
fought with her till att last the Waterhound and Advantage boarded
tooke and surprized the sayd shipp the Morning Starr or Golden Starr.
And saith the sayd shipp Golden Starr during all the sayd ffight had and
wore out her flagg of defiance which was after the fight taken
downe by some of the Waterhounds Company and not before. All which
this deponent being then present in the sayd ffight well saw and observed
And otherwise cannot depose.

To the 11.th and 12th he saith he cannot depose.

To the 13th. he saith his deposotions are true.

To the Crosse Interryes. [CENTRE HEADING]

To the 1. 2. 3. and 4th. he saith he was quarter Masters mate of the Advantage frigot
interrte, and aboard her att the taking of the Golden Starr or Morning
Starr interrate. And saith the Adventure frigott was not present in the chase
or fight interrate; and that the Advantage frigot alone espyed, mett with
haled and for neere four howres fought with the Morning Starr or
Golden Starr before the Waterhound interrate came in to her assistance.
And otherwise he cannot depose.

To the 5:th he saith he knoweth the sayd shipps the Advantage and Water
Hound, and saith they are dutch built shipps, and so were att the tyme
of the taking the sayd shipp the Golden Starr.

To the .6. he saith he was present and aboard the Advantage frigot for and
during all the fight interrate.

To the .7th. he saith that att the tyme of haling and fighting aforesayd
