Кстати, читаем: "a gang of creole and Indian gauchos"....
On 26 August 1833, armed with weapons provided by American sealers, a gang of creole and Indian gauchos led by Antonio Rivero ran amok in Port Louis. After months of freedom following the 'Lexington' raid, they resented the return of Matthew Brisbane in March 1833 and his resumption of authority (as Vernet's deputy) over the Islands. They were particularly irked by the fact that Brisbane reinstated the former method of paying them in Vernet's paper currency. The gang killed five settlers including Brisbane and William Dickson. The survivors (13 men, 3 women and 2 children) took refuge on Turf Island in Berkley Sound until they were rescued by the British sealer 'Hopeful' in October 1833.
