But the latter \[Mr. Pitt\], without putting himself otherwise to any particular trouble, began all the same his preparations to receive him, should he take it into his head to pay him a visit. With dauntless courage he went in person to inspect the fortifications of the town, caused the gates to be strengthened, and doubled the sentries. Every night he saw that the rounds were constantly on the move, and kept the sentries on the alert. When this was reported to the general \[Da,ud Khan\], he grew still more angry with the governor. His resolve was that in every particular the English must submit to him, or he would besiege their town. Thus that very night it chanced that some thirty loads of fine cloth passed close to San Thome. The goods had been dispatched by the merchants of the company. He caused these to be stopped \[February 6 or 17\]; and although the total value did not exceed six thousand patacas \[Rs. 12,000\], the loss was felt all the same. The next day he sent some horsemen with some men on foot, who took possession of three villages dependent on this town. Next he stopped the entry of all articles into the suburbs, and prevented the receipt of all supplies. - [Previous: 292.5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.292.5.1) - [Next: 292.5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.292.5.3) - [Up: 292.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.292.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.292.5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.292.5.2) · Pramāṇa
