The next day the Unicorn entered port , Croustillac , making use of his new rights , borrowed twenty-five louis of Captain Daniel , on the value of the cargo , and forbade him to land for twenty-four hours . Father Griffen was to lodge at the seminary . Croustillac appointed a meeting with him for the next day at noon . At noon the chevalier did not appear , but sent the priest the following note by a messenger of La Rochelle : * * * * * `` My good Father I can not accept the gift which you have offered me . I send you a deed drawn up according to rule , which substitutes you in all my rights over this ship and her cargo . You will employ it all in good works , as you understand how to do . The notary who will send you this note will consult with you as to formalities ; he has my power of attorney .
