dett procured a light, went into the cabin, and produced
the provisions that had been intended for the Captains
breakfast. He sat down, together with the Italian and
Portuguese, and ate of them. Nothing material hap
pened alter this till morning, when Colinett went be-
low, and having produced a small book, requested the
crew to put their names to a statement he had written
therein. This book was exhibited at he trial, and re-
cognized by witness as the true one.J Witness signed
first, from the circumstance of his having been longest
on board, and saw Godett and Portuguese sign. The
statement was, that Captain Woodbury. " had departed
this lue, ON a certain day, OF a lingering fever, &c."-
The Portuguese and Collinett then got on, the Captains
papers, and burnt whatever they thought would not suit
their situation. They subsequently, called down the
crew, and proceeded TO share the money: each ones
share amounted TO 1901, five %doubloons, and two and a
half wine glasses of gold dust. The Portuguese and
the two prisoners atthe bar, always slept in the cabin
after the murder, though they had not been accustomed
to do so before.
Abou, twenty days after the murder, they fell in
with HE Men'os. The Portuguese (who, it seems, had
assumed the chief command, and called himself mas.

on board. Witness offered his services, and thew were
accepted upon the condition that C .llinett should b.

(through an ioterpreter) what course he was Steering,
The fellows answer fully convinced Mr.. b. of biz
Ignorance of naviga'ion, and he accordingly offered TO
navigate the vessel himself TO The u. S. This proposal
was declined by the Portuguese. In the mean time
CApiPin Jennings, OF the Mentos, had hailed The boa,
