But they within Hunflue perceiuing this, made out their great gallies, with fiftie good mariners and souldiers, who comming vpon the gal|lies of Newhauen lieng at anchor, put hir in great danger of taking. For there were but fifteene men left aboord in hir at that present, wherof thrée of them were Englishmen, who perceiuing in what danger they stood, waied anchor with all spéed, and drew to|wards the shore, to take in the rest of their compa|nie; and getting them aboord vnto them, they manful|lie stood to their defense, being in all but foure and twentie men. Neuerthelesse, they so behaued them|selues, that continuing in fight aboue a long houre,The great gallie of Hun|flue taken. at length they ouercame their enimies, slue seuen of them outright, wounded seuen and thirtie, tooke their gallie and brought hir to Newhauen, with thir|téene bels, diuerse copes, and church ornaments, shéepe, and other spoiles, which they had got abroad in the countrie, togither with thrée and fortie good priso|ners, and the artillerie which was found aboord in the foresaid great gallie, wherewith she was verie well appointed and furnished.
