And meanwhile Colonel Bishop's fleet had come to anchor, and the Colonel had landed on the mole, a disgruntled man to be disgruntled further yet. He was accompanied ashore by Lord Julian Wade. A corporal's guard was drawn up to receive him, and in advance of this stood Major Mallard and two others who were unknown to the Deputy-Governor: one slight and elegant, the other big and brawny.
Early in April he made a startling move. Miles Macdonell was away at Fort Daer, and Archibald Macdonald, the deputy-governor of the colony, was in charge. To him Cameron sent a peremptory demand in writing for the field-pieces, that they might be 'out of harm's way. This missive was first given into the hands of the traitor George Campbell, who read it to the settlers on Sunday after church.
The French ambassador complained of the outrage, but answer was postponed; and, in the troubled state of France, the matter appears to have been dropped.

Thereupon the Deputy-Governor dismissed us, saying that it might be that the Devil did not want them for witches, because they could better serve him as Quakers: whereat all the Court fell to laughing."
And We do hereby further will and ordain that, notwithstanding anything contained in the original charter, the Governor, Deputy-Governor, and Committeemen shall, after the year One thousand eight hundred and eighty-four, hold their respective offices subject to retirement by rotation as hereinafter provided, that is to say, at the general court to be held in the year One thousand eight hundred and eighty-five, and at every succeeding general court, three members of the Board shall retire from office, and that, until all the present Board shall in turn have retired, the members of the Board to retire shall from time to time be determined by ballot or otherwise amongst the members of the present Board, or such of them as for the time being shall not have retired, but afterwards the members of the Board to retire shall be those who shall have been longest in office since their last election, and as between members of the Board of equal seniority the member or members to retire shall be determined by lot; provided always that the Governor and Deputy-Governor shall not both retire at the same time, and that in the ballot for determining who shall retire in the year One thousand eight hundred and eighty-five, the Governor and Deputy-Governor shall not both be included, but only one of them, such one to be determined by lot; and in the event of neither the Governor nor the Deputy-Governor being selected by ballot to retire in the year One thousand eight hundred and eighty-five, one of them to be determined by lot shall retire in the year One thousand eight hundred and eighty-six.
