ftore of large Geefe, Cranes, and Crocodiles, which I gave the Water
men , who were very glad of thern 5 for they fold them in the Towns
as they row’d along. The people in thofe quarters are very good natur’d
and officious. Dyet is little worth, as being the place where you may
buy a hundred Pullets for a Crown: and for three or four Pence,you may
buy a Filh of a prodigious length and bignefs.
■fo^/send was no lefs fad. For when the Companies Ships
were arriv’d, M. who commanded them,and M. with an
Armenian^ who had the management of the chidfeft part of the bufinefs,
had been acquainted with what had pafs’d at Surat , between Beber and
the Capuchins. Prefently Affedions and Interefts parted. Caron
Rambos took Beber s part 5 the Armenian held for the Capuchins 5 which
was at length the ruin oi Beber and Rambos, The Holland Commander
going aboard to vilit the Sieur Caron , upon his return would not permit
the Captain to ftir out of his Cabin • fo that Rambos and the Armenian
took upon them to wait upon the Commander. Upon this Occafion
the Armenian took upon him to precede Rambos, and briskly threw him-
felf before the French -mm *, who being provok’d at the Affront, gave
the Armenian a fwinging cuff o’ the Ear before all the company. To be
fhort, the Sieur Rambos, and holding all together, the Ar
menian found himfelf too weak to refill: : and in regard he had the
Management of the Cafh, he was accus’d of Misbehaviour, and was
condemn’d to be hang’d. But becaufe they could not execute the Sen
tence which they had given at Surat, they fent him away to the Council
Royal of the Ifland of Madagafcar, of which M. Mondevergue was chief 5
who was fofar from confirming the Sentence given at zurat , that he
admitted the Armenian to juftifie himfelf 5 and finding that he was not
only innocent, but that he might be very ufeful to the Company, he
fent him back to Surat with mote power then he had before. This put
Beber and Rambos into a fit of Defpair, to fee the perfon whom they
thought to have ruin’d, now above them. Thereupon they found a
way to get 12000 Roufies a piece for their Wages, which they pretended
to be due from the Company : and with that and 24000 Roupies which
Beber hzd of his own they Embarqu’d both together for Goa. Where,
being arriv’d, Beber dy’d foon after: But as for Rambos, he return’d home
again through ifpaban.
