Monsieur le Baron \[de Pallières\] went up to it, and discharged a broadside into it, which killed the captain, the supercargo and ten other persons, besides wounding twenty-five. In spite of this the Fenix defended herself by three broadsides, but this did her little good. The St. Louis came up on the other quarter ready to give her another broadside, and they were not willing to try further conclusions, in spite of their having 240 Europeans on board, in addition to 160 men of India. They gave in at once. In this ship was captured the commissary for this coast (Choromandal), who had come from Batavia, and was on his way to Negapatam. \[225\] His name was Bernard Foucen (Phoosen), and he was removed to Pondicherry along with the ship, which was very valuable, estimated at fifty thousand patacas, there being in it two chests of gold coins of Japan, and 5,900 \[4,900\] chests of copper, each one \[four\] weighing a candil, in addition to other merchandise, such as opium, white cloth of Bengal, et cetera. \[The ships finally reached Pondicherry on January 18, 1705.\] - [Previous: 338.23.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.23.4) - [Next: 338.23.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.23.6) - [Up: 338.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.23) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.23.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.23.5) · Pramāṇa
