I offer not these things as clear demonstrations, but circumstances only; for it is impossible in this case to go farther: and there's no room for any other sort of proof in a fact where a man has no conspirators, but keeps all the design in his own breast.
In short the ship struck several times and bulged. The captain and his men all got ashore: he says one was lost; but it is utterly false: and how wretched so ever he has painted their lives and conversation, the reader will but little regard what he writes: for it is certain he saved all that was most valuable; particularly sugar and powder, both which are damaged as soon any thing. He saved but little provision; because that is always stowed in the hold: but he rememberd to get out his commission, with all the plate and money. What else could he expect?
