In the presence of all the members, except SS Van Keulen, Van Breugel, Berg, and Van der Stel.
The captain of the English ship, the Siam Merchant, recently arrived from Maskette, and most of his officers, along with some of the sailors, were lost on the voyage due to illness. Having requested, through the Honorable Commendatore, fresh water and a few small items of equipment, His Honor decided to make this known to the meeting.
Having deliberated, it was decided to grant him the first fully, but to restrict the second somewhat and not to allow him, only sparingly and with good payment, to follow a few supplies of equipment, in order to obey the orders of our Lord and Master and to keep the English nation free from complaints.44
Thus arrested and confined in the Castle of Good Hope. Year and day as above.
