Escape-two men seized her on board of her boat - some made their escape - two men were found in the boat afterwards when we brought the articles into Court it was observed that a number of articles had been thrown overboard - bamboos, pieces of boxes, clothing etc. - one bag which had been filled by the wind I picked up & found to contain pieces of bamboo, a chopper & a number of valuables.
While we were chasing the men who had jumped overboard, I saw several things thrown out of the boat which must have been large and heavy as they made a great splash in the water. The list read to me (attached) contains a true account of the things found in the boat.

Francis Manuel, Marques Sailmaker sworn states- I went with the boat last Witnesses yesterday Evening- when we boarded the prisoners' boat all the men except 6 jumped overboard, after seizing some of them we went back and seized those who remained on board the boat. Several articles were found on board - I went to the station with the prisoners - By the time we picked the men out of the water the boat had pulled half way to the opposite shore. We pulled after her and as we came alongside again those who remained on board endeavoured to escape by jumping overboard but were seized. I saw a quantity of clothing thrown overboard - saw something like a chest or cask floating but not having hands (men) we could not retrieve it.
