said that Britain is always ready for and that
she is always quarrelling with some onez7that sho

up their minds months ago TO escape from the
island, if possible aud take refuge IN The Maurius;
but, alas after they had proceeded safely within
three four days journey of Inmatave, on the
eastern coast they caught, bound and carr led
back to the capital. Its said that two of them, u

while The guards asleep, and have not yet

and separately examined, each apart from the rest
