Kieran Doherty Quote
It soon became clear that the ships of the fleet could not maintain contact. Somers ordered the little ketch cut free, knowing that he was almost certainly sentencing all on board to death when he did so, but also knowing it was just too risky to continue towing the smaller ship. At any moment, the ketch could be pooped or broached by a wave, devoured by the ocean, and she would drag the flagship and all her passengers and crew with her to the bottom.
