Note 3 — Chapter X
Reading edition
Rimbo was eventually caught red-handed by the gendarmes. His idols were destroyed, and he was imprisoned in the calaboose. His captors found half-a-ton of Oriental silks, tappa cloth, muskets, old coins, cloths and Waterbury watches in his hut, besides many bottles of various spirits and tinned foods. It was hinted that he had a hiding-place elsewhere. He was eventually shot, whilst attempting to escape from the calaboose, by a gendarme.
