 The crew had reportedly already made a considerable sum from embezzling and selling wine from the ship. William Ward had "heard some of the shipps company say that they had sold a greate quantitie of wines in the west countrey that came the said voyage in the said shipp. Th wine was worth, in War's estimation, 6 shillings a gallon.<ref>[[HCA 13/72 f.54r Annotate|HCA 13/72 f.54r]]</ref>
