The families of the officers held hostage…

April 1807 CE

The families of the officers held hostage are released on the fifth day, April 8, since the mutineers are running out of food.

The rebels send an ultimatum threatening to destroy the fort unless provisions are sent.

When it expires they send another in which they threaten to kill all the remaining hostages.

Meanwhile, there is more infighting between the rebels, and a group of Germans and Poles manage to open the gates of the fort.

While most of the mutineers escape and surrender, some twenty others remain inside behind the re-closed gates.
