Pictures from the Royal Academy: James II. at La Hogue, May 1632 - Eyre Crowe, A.R.A., (1898). '"The French mariners often went off undisturbed in their boats from one side of the ship, whilst the English had entered and were destroying the other. During the action a generous exclamation burst from James, for when he first saw the seamen in swarms scrambling up the high sides of the French ships from their boats, he cried out, 'Ah, none but my brave English could do so brave an action!'" See Dalrymple's Memoirs.' From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
