By this rebuff the father was forced to turn back to Pondicherry. When he was at San Thome he (Esprit) wrote a letter to Friar Euzebio, Capuchin, lately arrived from Surat, in which he warned him on behalf of his Excellency that he must secure an exit from Madras if he wished to be spared the threatened deluge of interdicts, which was on the point of overwhelming that unfortunate mission. As soon as Father Friar Euzebio received this letter, without delay or loss of time, he proceeded to the Fort to bid farewell to the Lord Governor before he went off to join Father Friar Esprit, when both would go together to Pondicherry. But on no consideration would the Lord Governor consent to his departure; on the contrary, he ordered him to take care that he remained in Madras. Upon learning this, the three companions in misery were as much perturbed as confused at such extraordinary procedure being used against them. They recognised the target at which the arrows of so many misadventures were shot, attempting totally to ruin them. They felt acutely their inability to avoid the injury with which they were threatened, and the not having anyone to whom they could apply for help in the great calamity they dreaded, for their destruction was imminent. In this deliberation they wasted a little time, debating the best method to be adopted. - [Previous: 338.5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.5.2) - [Next: 338.5.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.5.4) - [Up: 338.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.5.3) · Pramāṇa
