[^0]:    5 In late November 1738, the Subtile, anchored in Baie de Bombetoka with 190 enslaved people and 26 crew members on board, suffered a major revolt just as it was about to set sail. Three officers were injured, one mortally, together with the sail-maker and one sailor. All the captives escaped, with the exception of eight women. With the assistance of Princess Salima and the King of Boina, 35 fugitives were recaptured. As a result, the vessel was forced to remain in Madagascar for wintering.
