The French ships with their prize anchored off that settlement on the afternoon of January 18, 1705. On the 20th Phoosen was landed, and taken to Governor Martin in the fort. A dwelling was assigned to him there, and sentries were posted. The chief Dutch officials and ship's officers were sent to other quarters. Some of the crew were locked up in a warehouse on the beach, and the rest of the common sailors were put aboard the two-masted French vessel from Bengal already referred to. On the 22nd two Dutch envoys arrived from Negapatam — Hendrik Grousens, chief administrator, and Hendrik Becker, then Fiscal and subsequently Extraordinary Councillor. They were authorized to treat for the release of the prisoners. On the envoys being received by Governor Martin, Phoosen was sent for. De Pallières and Du Dresnay took him apart, and a letter was given him from the Governor and Council of Negapatam, dated January 18, 1705. After he had read the letter, Du Dresnay whispered to him to keep up his spirits. This remark was communicated by letter to Governor Conans on January 23 as showing they had hope of success. - [Previous: 346.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.346.1.4) - [Next: 346.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.346.1.6) - [Up: 346.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.346.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.346.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.346.1.5) · Pramāṇa
