Underhill, attacking the other side of Fort Mystic, may have been in considerable fear as well, for he regarded the English soldiers as "unexpert in the use of their arms," and the Pequots as brave fighters.
Yet even on the same page, Underhill reported, "Mercy did they deserve for their valor, could we have had opportunity to have bestowed it."[91] This suggests, though does not prove, that Underhill's actions with the "train of powder" were an impulsive act, not a premeditated act of extermination.
