board the said ship about eleaven hundred chests of white sugar
and about five and twenty hundred Rolls of Tobaccoe and a
quantity of hides, all or most of which were bought with
and were the proceed of their goods sent out from Lisbone
to Brazill as aforesaid. Et ulterius ad hoc Arlos (salvis prde.

Ad 10. et 11us Arlos deponit et dicit that after the lading the
said sugars and other goods on board the Experience at Brazeele
she departed therewith towards Lisbone there to discharge the
same according to the security given; And further sayth that
in her passage thither being come in sight of the Rocke of
Lisbone, her Captain and Company did on or about the
seaven and twentyeth day of may last (being Sunday) in
the morning about breake of day espy three sayle of ships makeing towards
the Experience, which said three ships he sayth that when

three Dutch ships (called the Zelandia (whereof one Captaine
Tysen [?Quarls] was Commander) came sayling to the weather
side of the Experience without ever hayling or speaking
to her Captaine or Company, which he sayth is contrary to the custome
of friends at sea; whereupon Captaine Kingsman from on
board the Experience hayled the Zelandia, and wished her
Captaine the said Quarls to fall to the Leeward of the Experience

had up and sayled with the English Colours; and the Captaine
and Company of the Zelandia, and the Captains and Companies
of the other two Dutch ships (which were not farr off) might
and did see the same; and this deponent verily beleeveth they
all knew the Experience to be an English ship, and so much
he sayth, he heard severall of them afterwards confesse,/

Ad 14um dicit that so soone as the said Quarls came up with
his ship the Zelandia neare the Experience, he never hayled
her at all but presently fired a broadside upon her and
did thereby much dammage to her Masts tackle and rigging
and then went and lay ahead of her, untill the other two ships
called the Orange and the Armes of Zealand were come
up also; which being come fired also their great and small shot
