Source creator Froger, François, b. 1676 Source Title [Relation d'un voyage fait en 1695, 1696, & 1697. English] A relation of a voyage made in the years 1695, 1696, 1697. on the coasts of Africa, streights of Magellan, Brasil, Cayenna, and the Antilles, by a squadron of French men of war, under the command of M. de Gennes. Source place of publication London Source publisher Printed for M. Gillyflower in Westminster Hall; W. Freeman, M. Wotton in Fleet-Street; J. Walthoe in the Temple; and R. Parker in Cornhill. Source date 1698 notes The author recounts how badly runaway slaves are treated by the Portuguese in Brazil. On their first offense they are whipped; if they escape again, one of their legs is cut off. He has heard of a more merciful planter on Martinique who, instead of cutting off the leg, chains the ankle to the neck until the muscles and nerves atrophy, making the leg useless and escape impossible.Admiral de Gennes had two purposes in this voyage supported by Louis XIV -- to create trouble for Spain and to take booty. Six ships sailed ostensibly to establish a colony at the Strait of Magellan. They stopped on the African coast where they raided a fort, taking slaves and goods that were then sold by one of the ships in the Antilles. The other ships continued on to Rio de Janeiro and down the South American coast to the Strait of Magellan, but they had to turn back due to a shortage of food. They returned to La Rochelle in April 1697.
