Eggs, Brandy, and Wine, which were no fuch unkindneffes to be
quarrelFd with. Monfieur Thevenot at the fame time told Beber , that
he ihould do well to repay Father Ambrose the Money which he had
borrow’d to pay for the Coach which he had broken to ferve him, as
alfo that which he had given the Seamen, for trying if they could
difcover the Companies Velfels upon the Coaft. But he turn’d his deaf
ear to that difcourfe, and would never be perfuaded to reimburfe the
Money which Father Ambrofe laid out for him. Monfieur Thevenot
perceiving his unwillingnefs, and preffing him to do things handfomly,
put him into fuch a chafe, that he fell a fwearing after fuch a violent rate,
in a Parlour, that was parted only by a thin board from the place where
the Mafs was faid, that one of the Fryers, juft ready to go to the Altar,
came forth to defire him to leave his blafpheming. But Beber s infolence
took his admonition fo ill, that he-very rudely beat the Fryer in Mr. The-
venoTs prefence 5 fwearing, That had it not been out of refped: to him,
he would have knockt him q 5 the head. The Capuchin being fo inju-
riouflyus’d, came to Me, being hardly able to ftir his neck, byrealbn
of one of the blows that had given him. I chaft his neck with
Oyl of Coco’s, and wrapt it up warm : but we durfl: not fpeak a word
of Beber s idle a&ion , for fear of expofing our felves to the laughter of
the English and Hollanders , who would have made good fport with it.
Befides thefe Enormities, he put away his Servant that had fav’d his
Life, and kept his Wages. After that he went to lye at an Apothe
caries houfe, whofe Name was Mouillon , who came from Goa , with a
good quantity of Bortugal Wine 9 and kept a Tavern at Surat. While
he lay there he had a great Cdnteft with the Merchant, who receiv’d
the 240C0 Roupiesj which the King had given him for the lofs which he
alleadg’d that he and his Chyrurgeon had fufhin’d. For the Merchant
would acknowledge the receipt of no more then 23900 Roupies > the
other Hundred being deduded for Fees of the Treafury. He alfo main
tain’d, That the Merchant had receiv’d the 12000 Roupies which the King
had allow’d him for the lofs of his Blood : but it was known that the
Grand Treafurer would never pay that Money. Thus when he faw that
his Cheats were difcover’d to all the World, he began to bethink him-
felf how to get away: and we obferv’d, that he would fain have quitted
without noife. But there is fuch good Order taken both by Land
and Sea, that no perfon can go away without the knowledge and leave
of the Governour. For as the Countrymen that come from the other
fide of the water cannot return unlefs they fhewa mark in their hands
made with red Earth at the Cuftom-houle • neither Horfe nor Coach
can ftir without a Note from the Chabander , and another for the Ra
dars , who lye fometimes two or three Leagues from the Town. Beber
neverthelefs had fome afturance from his Vintner, that he might get
into a Boat, by bidding the Boatmen carry him to a large Town
on the other fide of the water. The Mailer of the Boat ask’d him for
his Ticket, but anfwer’d him with his Cudgel, forcing him for
ward, and telling him, he was not to demand Billets of fuch a perfon as
he was. Ashe was got half way the River a great number of Souldiers
hollow'd after the Boatmen, to row the Strangers back afiioar. But
Xeber laid his hand upon his Sword , and compell’d the Boatmen to go
forward. That evening, Beber being return’d, the poor Boatmen were
apprehended , and baftinado’d till they were almoft maim’d. The
