        DATA.TEXTTallone of Boegies, a convict living in the slave
        lodge, had been working in the wine cellars too, but apparently
        had occasion to go to the pomp behind the Castle where he
        began organizing his escape plot. He and the slaves who
        gathered under his leadership planned to run away to the free
        Negro land in Madagascar. In his confession, Pomade of
        Makassar, a slave of the soldier Nicolaas van Blerk, admitted
        that he had known Tallone in Batavia and upon meeting up
        with him at the Cape, had agreed throw in his lot with his old
        friend. The eleven fugitives were captured by a commando
        which had been gathered for the purpose of pursuing the
        runaway slaves not more than a few miles from the town at Jan
        Biesjes Kraal just over the Salt River.
