Since the galley "De Roode Vos" has been unloaded of its remaining skins, and those from Dasseneijlant, following their latest letters, are in need of some provisions, it has been agreed to send the galley back there with some supplies and to have as many skins brought back as there are in stock.
And so Claes Bensingh of Lubeecq, owner of 14 guilders, arrived here with the galley "De Swarte Vos" (Black Fox). 1652, present for 14 years provisionally has certified the constables and quartermasters quality to satisfaction on the galley De Rode Vos in the place of the constable who died there, furthermore that he has behaved very faithfully and vigilantly during the disembarkation of the galley De Rode Vos in the Bay of Saldanha and the discovery of the conspiracy and treason, therefore the same188 is confirmed at his request and competence, as well as upon the nomination of the skipper herein, in the said quality of constable and quartermaster and is awarded a reward of 22 guilders monthly, commencing pmo. September 1653, which has satisfactorily observed the aforementioned qualities.
Cornelis Michielsz of Amsterdam, boatswain, 9 guilders, arrived here in March 1653 with the yacht "De Haes" (The Haes), which has since been used as a sailmaker on the galley "De Rode Vos." In view of his request and competence, as well as the skipper's recommendation, the quality of under-sailmaker was confirmed and granted to earn 13 guilders on the month commencing September 1653, which has observed the sailmaker's place.
Thus done and resolved at Fort de Goede Hoope, date as above.
