Conajee was supported by the Satara arms, and the Seedee was forced to submit to the loss.

To all intents and purposes, Conajee was now an independent chief.

He was the recognized master of a strip of territory between the sea and the western ghauts, extending from Bombay harbour to Vingorla, excluding the Seedee's territories, a tract, roughly speaking, about two hundred and forty miles in length by forty miles in breadth.

With his harbours strongly fortified, while the western ghauts made his territories difficult of access by land, he was in a position to bid defiance to all enemies.

Moreover, he was the recognized chief of the hardy coast population of hereditary seamen, who to this day furnish the best lascars to our Indian marine.
Angria's exploits on land had not interfered with his interests at sea.
