out_o of_o the_o strait_a place_n that_o they_o be_v in_o so_o master_n popham_n myself_o and_o captain_n smith_n be_v force_v to_o retreat_n master_n hugh_n popham_n be_v so_o wound_v that_o he_o

they_o march_v down_o with_o we_o and_o fight_v very_o valiant_o so_o that_o we_o present_o beat_v they_o from_o that_o place_n of_o the_o town_n and_o within_o one_o hour_n we_o beat_v they_o quite_o out_o of_o the_o town_n they_o be_v in_o number_n 300._o and_o we_o not_o above_o 120._o but_o there_o be_v one_o of_o our_o soldier_n which_o be_v shoot_v out_o of_o a_o window_n who_o be_v in_o
