Thereupon the Dutch seized the occasion. They already had their eye on the fortress, and on the treasure stored there for safety by some people of the neighbourhood, who were afraid of being plundered by the enemy. The Dutch determined to take possession, and raised a dispute for that purpose. They sent some of their people at the head of armed messengers (peons) with flags flying and drums beating, just as the governor did when he went out for recreation. When the governor knew of this attempt he broke up the drums and made a row, but the Dutch dissembled and went back to their house. Next day they seized the gates, fortified the bastions, and trained the guns upon the town. They sent infantry to the governor's house, and ordered the rest of his men to withdraw. The Mogul troops obeyed, and the Dutch took possession of the fortress with the money in it, but did no harm to the inhabitants. - [Previous: 335.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.335.3.7) - [Next: 335.4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.335.4.1) - [Up: 335.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.335.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.335.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.335.3.8) · Pramāṇa
