Perrington gave more detail and hope, when he spoke, but also hinted at the horror of what happened next to those left on board the William and Mary.

As soon as the captain left, six of the crew, who still remained in the ship, got ready the long-boat, into which several of the passengers jumped indiscriminately. I never saw anything in my life so fearful. Women and men jumped overboard from the after part of the vessel near where the boat lay and many were drowned. One of the crew who was in the long-boat was compelled, with a hatchet, to keep off the passengers who were crowding into the boat and who, if allowed to enter it, would undoubtedly have sunk it. We cut our boat loose from the vessel, rigged a sort of sail and ran before the wind.
