| 1724 | In 1724, still a simple “flag guard” (aspirant), he embarked on the “Duc du Maine”, a vessel of the East India Company commanded by M. du Perrier de Salver, as lieutenant of the Grenadiers, who was to take the Dutch the forts of Arquin and Portindik, on the African coast. Lieutenant de Trémigon was ordered to climb Fort d'Arquin at the head of 20 men "which he did by a rope ladder although the wall was 35 to 40 feet high."In front of Portendik he embarked at night with half the grenadiers to bypass the fort; the sea was frightful, he wrote, and the breakers on a considerable bar raised the sea prodigiously, which nearly swallowed up the little troop. At daybreak, the 'Salver' crew fled the garrison and the reinforcing 300 Moors. Louis de Trémigon was tasked with guarding what was left of the fort, as well as a battery of 5 guns installed nearby. | ref:631 | ||
