Lieutenant Pelot was the first to gain the deck, and was engaged in a combat with swords with Lieutenant Pendergrast. The latter was laid upon the deck by his antagonist, but at that moment the paymaster of the Waterwitch, catching a glimpse of Pelot by the glare of lightning, fired upon and instantly killed him.
