Great Yarmouth, in Norfolk. Henry HURST, Master of the pilot boat,
called the Mayflower, of Yarmouth, voluntarily came before
John REYNOLDS, Esq., Mayor of the said borough, and made oath,
that this morning about nine o'clock he boarded a Danish vessel, about
ten leagues Southeast of Lowestoft, which was bound from Norway
to London, with deals, and had on board her an English pilot,
named John CHRISTIE, who dwells in Yarmouth, and has been
long known to this deponent, and saith, the Captain of the said ship,
who spoke English, also the said John CHRISTIE, told this deponent,
that the fleet which they saw a-breast, distant about six miles, were the
Dutch, and this deponent thereupon went up into the shrouds of the
said Danish ship, and could clearly see the said fleet, which consisted
of five sail of the line a frigate, a cutter, and four other vessels; that
four of the said ships of the line were standing with their heads to the
Northward, (the wind West and by North) and the rest were lying to,
with their courses hauled up; and the said Captain and pilot told
this deponent, that they had sailed in company with the said fleet
about ten or twelve leagues.
