As for this fellow,
his associate and accomplice, at the first on board the ship immediately after
the attempted crime, just as though he knew nothing of it but was himself in
utter consternation, he sought to induce the sailing-master and the seamen to
embark in the boat and abandon the vessel with all speed, declaring that there
was no hope of safety and that the ship would presently sink; thinking that thus
their design might be accomplished, the ship be lost, and the creditors thus be
robbed of their money.
