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

CHAPTER VII
21/37

A few days later he records how Captain S.and Mr.D.[4] fought with their fists in the roundhouse before Mr.Brown, who took no notice of it.
The next few days were spent in repairing damages.

While thus employed, messengers came from the Kempsant, offering to join hands with the English in attacking Angria.

A quarrel had arisen between the two chiefs, owing to Angria having plundered some of the Kempsant's ships.

But he stipulated that Angria's fort at Deoghur, seven leagues to the south, should be first attacked; so, on the 7th October, part of the fleet was sent down to reconnoitre.
On the 16th, fresh stores of arrack, water and provisions having been received from Goa, Brown called a consultation of the officers on board the _Addison_, and proposed another landing under the _Phrams_ guns.

But the officers were disheartened, undisciplined, and under no control.
