Map of Dominica from the period of Bouille
But Bouillé didn´t rest and that same year he took St.
Christophe, Nevis and Montserrat. In 1781 he took Tobago and St.
Eustatius. He simply gain the trust of
the Dutch planters and restored what the British had sized. Those who saw M. de
Bouillé so formidable in action, surprised his kindness after the fight. M. de
Bouillé gave protection to all both the planter, the soldier and the merchant, No one claimed never in vain protection. His justice and his
selflessness were also admired. His enemies feared its value and gave praise to
his humanity. Someday the furious winds which raise the seas of the Caribbean,
shattered shattered two English frigates on the shores of Martinique. Warned by
distress signals, Mr. da Bouille came to rescue those against which he fought
so often. Protective fires are lit on the shore 5 ropes are thrown to the sea.
They bring together the debris escaped the turmoil; They collected the hapless
shipwrecked, feeds them, dresses them, and returned them, affected recognition,
and surprised to be free, to the English Admiral. I see no point of making them
my enemies, Bouille said, I see only misfortunes, in those pursued
by the storm; and I cannot make prisoners of men that the waves have delivered
me defenseless.
