February, 1698. Storia do Mogor (Irvine) 287 - **Language:** English ### [287](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.287) This morning about 8 a clock, Selimon Cawn with his horse and foot enter'd the Right Honble. Companys bounds ; They marcht under covert of the Gardens behind Cuddalore, and sett fire to all the houses in their way ; the Guns from the Points there played upon them, which kept them from approaching very near. Nine a clock this morning, seeing a party of horse near Trepopolore, we fired a Gun from the Fort upon them. This Day we discovered the Enimy to burn the Houses in the out-towns as they came along. A Sally was considerd of to be made at night, which whilst the Governr. &ca. here were thinking of, Messrs. Haynes and Mountague advised from Cuddalore, that they thought such a thing proper ; wherefore the Govr., Messrs. Ingram, Farmer and Games agreed to send Mr. John Berlu and Ensign Henry Kerr, with 70 Souldiers and 200 Peons to fall upon the Enimy in the night, which we had discoverd to lye upon the bank of the river, between Chummundulum and Trepopolore, twas agreed that 30 men should come from Cuddalore ; Mr. Berlu was acquainted with the design, but the orders to him and the Ensign were sealed up and not to be opened till two a clock in the morning and they to march about 3 a clock. This day many thousand Inhabitants left the bounds, and the rest came as near the Fort as they could. This night about 11 a clock, received a note from Messrs. Haynes and Mountague, signifying that they had advised Capt. Hugonin, who diswaded from sallying this night, saying that our men were weary ; twas therefore laid aside. - [Previous: 286](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.286) - [Next: 288](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.288) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.287](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.287) · Pramāṇa
