Boucassin. Christophe encamps there, nine leagues from Port-au-Prince

Christophe had been encamped since the day before at Boucassin, nine leagues from Port-au-Prince. He had ordered the 4th and the 7th, which formed his vanguard, and the main body of his army to move along the high road. The 7th had already taken the path that runs along the seashore and, after crossing the Prince plantation, had halted on the 31st on the Laffiteau plantation. By the orders of the generalissimo, Larose, at the head of the 8th, was to leave the high road, follow the coast and halt only at Sibert.
