[Footnote 2: See doc. no. 87, note 3. Captain Kidd, says the record of the trial (_State Trials_, V. 290), called Moore "a lousy dog". "Says William Moore, 'If I am a lousy dog, you have made me so; you have brought me to ruin, and many more'. Upon his saying this, says Captain Kid, 'Have I ruined you, ye dog?' and took a bucket bound with iron hoops and struck him on the right side of the head, of which he died next day."] [Footnote 3: See document 76, note 9.] [Footnote 4: _I.e._, a French fishing ship, bound to the banks of Newfoundland. See the second paragraph of doc. no. 76, Kidd's statement.] [Footnote 5: The reference is to Kidd's projected, but abandoned, attack on the "Mocha fleet" at Babs Key, near the mouth of the Red Sea.] [Footnote 6: This ship I do not identify; the name is perhaps due to misunderstanding of a passage in the trials.] THE _FIDELIA_. _90.
