The Pirates of Malabar, and An Englishwoman in India Two Hundred Years Ago

CHAPTER VI
14/14

Boone reported that he had captured from Angria prizes to the value of Rs.9785, which, together with the above payment, and a two-per-cent.

war-tax on the people of Bombay, would go some way to recoup the Company for their losses and the cost of the expeditions.
