The unfortunate topasses, who had had their noses cut off, were formed into a company of marines, and had their pay augmented to Rs.5 a month.[3] In this odd way the Bombay Marine Battalion appears to have had its origin.
We get some idea of the Sunda Rajahs of the period in a letter from Carwar, dated the 20th January, 1698.
"He" (the Sunda Rajah) "is so excessive craving after money, that he is about sacrificing twelve men and twelve women with child, to get two pots of treasure which one of his magicians tells him lies buried near his palace." While these events were taking place at Carwar, Boone found himself involved in trouble with Angria.

For some time after the treaty made by Aislabie, Angria had respected Bombay trading ships, but of late he had begun to show his teeth again.

In the beginning of 1716 he had made prize of a Company's boat in sight of the harbour, and of another belonging to a private merchant.

Four private ships from Mahim, valued at 30,000 xeraphims, were also captured by him, and his ships trading to Bombay refused to pay harbour dues.

While Hamilton was engaged at Carwar, Angria's fleet attacked and took the _Success_, East Indiaman, on its way from Surat.
