 When Thistlewood found out, he had her flogged and "put in the bilboes".Similarly, that same year, Damsel was bitten by a dog, but dreaded the European medical practices, and tried to hide the injury from Thistlewood, who, when he discovered, "flogged her well & put her in the bilboes".Damsel instead put her trust in a slave named Will, who was owned by a Mr Wilson, and happened to be an obeah man.
