Gros-Morne and Les Pendus. Part of the 14th demi-brigade rises there

While Alain strove to restore a little order in the place, the soldiers of the two first battalions of the 9th, who had withdrawn to the Trois-Pavillons with Rébecca at their head, spread through the surrounding countryside and stirred the populations to revolt. As early as the 12th of May, part of the 14th demi-brigade had also risen at Le Gros-Morne. General Magny, who commanded at Les Gonaïves, had hastened to ask for help from Brigade Chief Monyobare, commandant of Plaisance. Monyobare had gathered all the national guards of his district, had moved to Pilate, near the boundary of the parish of Le Gros-Morne, and had set up a cordon of troops there to keep the revolt from entering the parish entrusted to him. The soldiers of the 9th invaded Le Borgne and made its whole population leave and carried it off with them, after forcing its commandant, Jean-Pierre Azard, to flee by the Côtes-de-Fer. Le Limbé too would have revolted had its commandant, Michel Auguste, not hastened to take the most vigorous measures to keep it quiet.
