emeute

There's been an emeute, as she calls it.

"He is named Planchet, who himself also caused a rising about six weeks ago; but as he was searched for after this emeute he disappeared."

An EMEUTE of disappointed fishers was feared, and two ships of war are in the bay to render assistance to the municipal authorities.

Reports were whispered about, like certain sounds which announce, as they whistle from wave to wave, the coming storm - and when they pass athwart a multitude, presage an emeute.

Indeed, all the defences of this part of the island were devised as safeguards against a possible /emeute/ of the slaves, and also to provide a second line of fortifications should the Nest itself chance to be taken by an enemy.
