Father Jacobus Schinck, who was sent during the revolt in 1795 by the colonial government as a mediator to meet with the rebellious slaves, is the only one who had spoken with Tula and whose recordings are preserved in the government archives. His account starts on 19 August when he spoke with Captain Tula at Plantation house “Porto Mari” at half past eight in the evening.(Submitted on March 1, 2025, by Pete Skillman of Wilmington, Delaware.)
