Toussaint-Boufflet and the surviving defenders of the Môle surrender as prisoners to Romain and are taken to Christophe at the Foâche plantation.

Haitian

Toussaint assembled the officers who surrounded him; in spite of the counsels of commandant Valé, who wished to perish with arms in hand, it was resolved that submission would be made. Now, on the next day, 30 September, worn out with fatigue and privations of every kind, succumbing beneath the weight of all evils at once, the heroic and unfortunate children of the Republic, compelled to surrender as prisoners to Romain, were directed to the Foâche plantation, where Christophe was.
