'James Carrick; The Caswell; The Prisoner; Court House, Queenstown; Queenstown Bridewell...George Peno seems to have persuaded the other foreigners to kill the English officers and take possession of the ship...The surviving Englishmen or Scotchmen were compelled for a time to submit to their commands...our three countrymen, James Carrick, John Dunne, and Peter Macgregor, determined to master the three Greeks, or to kill them, and bring the vessel safe home...Carrick...determined to sail her to Queenstown - a two months' sail.
