Saint-Denis
The Prince de Conti spent a few weeks at Île Bourbon (Réunion). Most of this was at Saint-Paul, but the record shows the ship moved up the coast to Saint-Denis toward the end of November. Here, on 29 and 30 November, the Prince de Conti dropped off ten passengers. This group had boarded the ship at Port Louis, Île de France on 26 November. They disembarked a few days later at Saint-Denis. The group included three soldiers, a woman, and six slaves. [This is how I read it, in any case. It is possible that the slaves are listed twice—once under Laval (n° 373) and once separately as "anonymous" (n° 374). In that case, there would only be three slaves.]
After the stop at Saint-Denis, the Prince de Conti went back down the coast to Saint-Paul, and a few days later returned to Port Louis, Île de France. Thence, it began its long trek back to Europe. This final leg took about 112 days.
One final death took place during the long, last leg of the voyage. Pierre Le Gal, a sailor engaged at Port Louis, succumbed to dysentery on 18 March 1756, when the ship was still a few weeks out from Europe.
