In the presence of all members, except the Honorable Commender and Srs. Van Keulen, Berg, Van der Stel, and Blum.
The Honorable Administrator, Andries de Man, having been appointed by the Honorable Commender by letter made known the unexpected arrival of the cornerer Netelenborg 91, and at the same time the poor condition of that ground, which after a long and troublesome voyage of about eight months, having set sail from the fatherland and come under this shore, was forced by storm and thunder and for lack of fresh water to put into the Saldaignebhaij and, requiring life support and adequate water, to put in at this port: which having been understood by the Rev. Lord Commender, his E. ordered by letter of the 6th of this month from Stellenbosch to the aforementioned Rev. Administrator. to deliberate with the other members in Council and discuss what necessary provisions should be provided on that territory, and to adopt such a resolution as His Eminence himself, present in Council, could draw, in accordance with that. Therefore, in the interest of the Eminence, it was approved and understood, considering that the aforementioned ship is unsailed and Ceylon is too far away to undertake such a voyage for the purpose of replenishing the ship's provisions, to provision him with some meat, boats, oil, wine and brandy, and, as appropriate, with fresh and baked bread.
Thus arrested and confined in the Castle of Good Hope. Year and day as above.
