Present omnibus and reinforced by Commander Cornelis Keelman, Vice-Commander Cornelis Jorisse, Rear Admiral, Abbot van Oudenhoorn, and all the skippers of the Batavian and Ceylon return ships present here.
Note: the return ships Domburg, Jerusalem, and Peperboom on the 20th, and the Ceylon ships IJsselmonde, Horstendaal, and Beijeren on the 26th, also on the same day under the flag of the said ship. Commander de Liefde, Schoondijk, Ceulen with the House at Beijwegh and on the 5th of this month Schoonderloo, had successively arrived here, without having encountered any notable disasters on the journey, and they had been able to depart here since their stay, both by the daily refreshments enjoyed, and by the provided needs, to such an extent that after the transfer had been completed it was thought that they would be able to depart at short notice. So then, in order to follow the order and desire of the Lords our Majores as well as of their Noble Great Commander at Batavia (in the further dispatch of this precious fleet) and noted. to hasten the departure of the fleet as much as possible and not to delay it in any way, after all the skippers had first consulted her, and after the Governor had questioned her one by one whether she lacked anything for the voyage, to which they all replied in the negative, mostly through the services of the E. Compe. It was decided and decided on the 15th of this month (weather permitting), under the flag of the aforementioned E. Commander, to send the prows from this ship to the harbor of our dear fatherland. The fortification of a few pilots and minor officers of this fleet was to be left to the E. Commander and other chiefs, to act and behave as befits the E. Commander's service.
Thus resolved and arrested in the Castle of Good Hope on the day and year mentioned above.
