The group moves toward the factor’s house

📅 1 October 1716 📍 Curacao

The study says the group next went toward the factor’s house, where his wife and children escaped by canoe after warning of the disturbance. This detail survives through colonial correspondence, which foregrounds danger to the household and gives little access to the rebels’ aims. Day unspecified; month-level placeholder.
