69 From Persia under date 30 9ber anno 1733. Having furthermore, after the contracting out by the purser for the cleaning of the pieces, the completion of the missing ones, and the repair of the thin, weak, and defective items aforesaid, been reweighed and recounted by us, and in reality found as follows below: No 1. gilded counts 84 pcs and 7 chains, weighs 270 matticaal No 2. gilded counts 170 pcs and 3 chains, weighs 180½ matticaal No 3. gilded counts 237 pcs and — chains, weighs 166 matticaal No 4. gilded counts 134 pcs and 4 chains, weighs 181 2/5 matticaal No 5. silver counts 265 pcs and — chains, weighs 61 1/5 matticaal No 6. silver counts 265 pcs and — chains, weighs 152½ matticaal No 7. silver counts 237 pcs and — chains, weighs 174 2/5 matticaal No 8. silver counts 220 pcs and 3 chains, weighs 80 matticaal No 9. silver counts 169 pcs and 6 chains, weighs 187 matticaal No 10. silver counts 158 pcs and 3 chains, weighs 190 matticaal No 11. silver counts 218 pcs and 3 chains, weighs 143 matticaal Bridles 11. count 2157 pcs and 29 chains and weigh: 1786 1/5 matticael or Reals 303 19/500. From all of which demonstrated items one comes to perceive a difference of 163 pieces and 3 chains more than is recorded in the books, and notwithstanding this surplus supplement as well as the outlay of 42 matticael for the supplement of the absent and repair of the defective pcs done by the purser, it still gives an underweight of 105 2/5 matticaal on all the aforesaid bridles, and which, calculated pro rata as they are known by the books, give a loss of ƒ 98:9:—. Finally, the disbursements made by the purser amount specifically to what is shown here below: for 42 matticaal silver as above at 1 2/5 matticaal per matticaal: 67: 1/5: — matticaal labor at ½ matticaal per matticaal: 21: —: — matticaal cleaning of 11 bridles at 7 matticaal: 77: —: — matticaal for 9 bridles provided with new leatherwork and running reins at 20 man: 180: —: — matticaal for 6 bits at 7 matticaal each: 42: —: — matticaal the disbursement amounts to matticaal 387: 1/5, but I set matticaal 387:—:— or 164:9: 8. Wherewith, Honorable Commanding Lord and Honorable Lords, In the hope that in this matter we will have dutifully given the required satisfaction, we remain with the utmost respect.

Mace, remaining balance left from the previous books, still remains: 770 lbs. Coast chintzes in sort, remaining balance from the latest books, remains as balance: 460 pieces. In the Basra Office, on the last day of August Anno 1732. Underneath stood: Signed: D:s Heyslaars. Lower: Agreed. Signed: Hb Diepenhagh. Underneath: Agreed. Was signed: EG: Clercq. Honorable Gentlemen, In accordance with Your Honors' honored intention to provide a true report of everything, pursuant to the most venerated orders of our High Noble, Valiant, and Most Respected Lords Superiors in the Beloved Fatherland, principally from the year 1727 to 1733, as well as those granted successively from time to time up to Anno 1731 by Their High Noble, Valiant, and Most Respected Lords at Batavia, and to demonstrate the state of the Company's valuable merchandise in all other goods... Report made by the Merchant and Warehouse Master Carel Koenad, and reverently presented to the Honorable Mr. Leendert de Cleer, Senior Merchant and Commander over the Company's weighty interests and affairs in the Empire of Persia with the jurisdiction thereof, alongside the Council. From Persia, dated 30 November Anno 1733. ...goods that are stored in the warehouses, he has, in the most dutiful compliance with what the aforementioned repeated orders require, in the presence of the ordinary commissioners, the Bookkeeper Jacob Pollart and Simon Clement, Assistant, weighed, recounted, and found everything as he has the honor hereby dutifully to make known to Your Honors, namely: 253 pieces of gunny sacks with pice, containing together 579 tomans, as: 73 long square sacks at 3 tomans each sack makes 219 tomans. 180 round sacks at 2 tomans each sack makes 360 tomans. 253 sacks amount to: 579 tomans. Cloves remaining on the last of August of the past year: 58786 lbs. Since delivered to the Company's brokers for sale: 10483 lbs. Sent to Spahan: 900 lbs. For gifts here: 192 lbs. For the medical dispensary: ½ lb. To the ship De Windhond: ½ lb. Emolument for the Honorable Commander: 3 ½ lbs. Dust collected together: 1096 ½ lbs. Present balance found today: 47171 lbs. Total: 58750 ½ lbs. Short 1/16 per cent or: 35 ½ lbs. The true causes of this loss have already been shown in writing in former times based on findings and experience, that to prevent this, no human attentiveness can entirely avert it, since the natural drying out of this spice in this well-known climate constantly contributes thereto. In addition, it is to be considered that what is bruised unawares upon delivery in the handling of placing onto and taking off the scale gets lost, and thus diminishes against all expectation. Nutmegs over the balance on the last of August 1732: 20408 lbs. Since delivered to the Company's brokers for sale: 15565 lbs. For Spahan: 60 lbs. For gifts here: 192 lbs. For the medical dispensary: ½ lb. To the ship De Windhond: ½ lb. Emolument as before: 3 ½ lbs. Dust collected together: 14 ¾ lbs. Present true balance of today: 4544 ¼ lbs. Total: 20380 ½ lbs. Giving an underweight of 1/8 per cent or: 27 ½ lbs. Regarding this shortage found, no other reasons can be alleged than those respectfully set forth earlier concerning the cloves, because having been experienced with the utmost attention, it partakes of the same losses. Besides which, this spice is also subject to the very harmful mite damage. Wherefore, in order to give satisfaction as far as possible to the casually cited high orders (especially to be seen in the venerated Extract of the Letter from the Fatherland dated 15 September 1730 concerning the matter of Amboina), I say in all reverence that the mite damage appears likely to increase. And if trade remains obstructed by the incursions (which God forbid), I fear that a further garbling will be required in order not to let that which is still good perish along with that which is infected.

From Persia under date 30 November anno 1733. Appears to be able to offer no other reasons for this than that this loss must have been caused by the drying up and evaporating of the volatile substance; for the rest, the said documents are hereby presented to Your Honors to the end that therewith and regarding this important matter (if it pleases) a desired resolution may be framed.

These chests having been closed and payed with pitch again in the most careful manner, as well as distinctly marked with their net and gross weight, No. 1 weighing gross 184 and No. 2 157 lb; also in each chest a note from us the undersigned was added, clearly showing the number of the chest with its net weight; regarding the remaining shortage found, one can give no other reasons than that the same must notoriously have been caused mostly by drying out, and also somewhat by splintering during handling. 27733 lb Kirman wool in 308 bales, which since the departure of the ships Schoonauwen and De Hopvogel have been brought here, cleaned and packed as follows: 26100 lb in 290 bales each at 90 lb, all packed in the most practical manner, attended to and marked from No. 1. 90 lb net Kirman wool to the Homeland. 18 cleaned here, all of 90 lb likewise, except for one bale which amounts to No. 103 lb and in packing and marking will be given the number 308. 1633 27733 lb in 308 bales as stated; the practice of the natives here in packing the bales not proceeding all too properly, much more neatness could be applied if one were provided with a good press, and it is certainly safe to state that the more tightly the wool is packed together, the better it remains and could endure, which is subsequently very humbly submitted to Your Honors.

From Persia, dated 30 November Anno 1733. 1. A note by our undersigned and of today's date. 2. Ditto. 5 packages at 80 pieces each, or together 400 pieces, and which, with the remainder of the aforementioned pieces, have also been set aside according to Your Honor's esteemed order to accommodate the next arriving merchant with them. Furthermore, regarding his request for certain letters, nothing else can be conceived than that, upon opening and repacking, they might have remained hidden in one or another fold of the lassava or wrapper, or perhaps even inside one of the pieces; at least, they have been sought with the greatest diligence, but not found. And as for what further concerns the matter, as well as how to act in the future, it is with much respect deferred to Your Honor's wholesome disposition, adding only this humble remark: that since it is not without reason to fear that some pieces in the remaining packages might still be found and culled out during a good sale, the aforementioned press would then, after sorting and repacking, serve very well to restore the packages to a neat shape as they were before, since the native merchant is particularly attentive and keen on that. A piece long cubits, broad cubits. 1121 pieces Bengal raw sailcloth remaining under the ultimate of August of the past year in 13 packages and 21 pieces, as: 800 pieces small in 10 packages, all 321 large in 3 ditto and 21 pieces. 1121 pieces in 13 packages and 21 pieces as above. 97 pieces large delivered since to the Company's broker. 19 ditto provided, as: 10 pieces for the packing of gifts to Spahan, 1 to the medicine shop, 4 to the gunner, 4 to the Windhond. 19 pieces as stated. 205 large found remaining today in 3 packages and 25 pieces. 800 small in 10 packages. Making the remainder 1005 pieces or 13 packages and 25 pieces. 1121 pieces again as above. 2220 long gunnies over the remainder of the past year. 300 pieces delivered since to the Company's brokers. 85 for packing the Spahan gifts, ditto. 736 consumed for 290 wool bales. 731 for domestic use, packing, and provision sacks. 368 found today as the remainder. 2220 pieces as above. 29 7/24 ounces spice oils as the remainder of the past year, as: 15 3/24 ounces cinnamon oil, 9 3/48 clove ditto, 1 3/8 mace ditto, 2 5/8 nutmeg ditto. 29 7/24 ounces spice oils as above, and delivered from that: Of which good pieces again 5 packages have been properly and to the best of our ability formed and baled as follows: 1 package No. 557 with the aforementioned old note. 1 No. 588 ditto ditto. 1 No. 620 ditto. From Persia, dated 30 November Anno 1733. 17 1/24 ounces ditto, namely: 8 3/4 ounces cinnamon oil, of which 2 7/8 ounces sent to Spahan, 6 1/12 presented here. 4 9/48 ounces clove oil, of which 2 3/8 ounces sent to Spahan, 2 3/48 presented here. 1 7/48 mace oil or oil of mace gifted here. 2 1/3 nutmeg oil, as: 2/16 ounces sent to Spahan, 2 3/48 presented here. 11 5/6 ounces spice oils in kind, the remainder today, and consisting of: 6 ounces cinnamon oil, and 5 clove ditto. Only 29 7/24 ounces spice oils, both provided and still remaining, as just stated. 60 pieces bunting, as: 24 pieces remaining under the ultimate of August of the past year. 36 received from Zouratta on the [illegible] of this year. 60 pieces as above, and: 12 pieces provided since to the steward, 24 to the ship the Windhond. 24 found today. 60 pieces as above. 13 balances and 109 pieces of weights in kind and found today as follows: 9 pieces large, and 4 small, 13 balances with: 67 pieces of 50 lb weight, 5 of 25 lb, 4 of 10 lb, 4 of 5 lb, 6 of 4 lb, of which some also remain under the steward, 4 of 3 lb, 4 of 2 lb, 5 of 1 lb, 5 of 1/2 lb, 5 of 1/4 lb. In all, 13 pieces of balances and 109 pieces of weights. 5 plank footings over the remainder of the past year. 4 pieces provided since for domestic use. 1 over today's remainder. 5 pieces as stated. 112 pairs of shoes remained over the remainder of the past year. 49 pairs provided since to the garrison. 63 the remainder today, and found as: 50 pairs intact and good, and 13 damaged. 63 pairs in total. 112 pairs as above; regarding the remainder just shown, it serves respectfully for your information that the good and bad have been packed and cared for separately in order to prevent further decay.

From Persia under date 30 November anno 1733 to prevent, however, as in this miserable climate everything seems to undergo some consumption within itself when it partakes in a long storage period, just as these have spent nearly 4 years in loco, Your Honors will therefore (as the closest eyewitnesses) not impute the same to the undersigned, as he hopes. 35 pieces of Beams per remaining balance of last year 3 pieces delivered to the ship 13 pieces to the purser and otherwise 19 pieces remaining balance of today 35 pieces as above 7364 lb Gunpowder in 147 1/25 barrels per remaining balance under the last of August last year. 1164 lb delivered to the gunner from then until today 6200 lb found today in 124 barrels 7364 lb as above. Herewith then, everything resting in the warehouses having been reported to Your Honors according to possibility and bounden duty, this report ends with the honorable titles of, beneath stood: Your Honors' humble, submissive, and obedient servant, signed: C: Roehad; in the margin: Gamron under the last of February 1733; lower: in our presence, signed: J.b Pollart and S-n Clement; beneath stood: Agrees, was signed: J-s Diepenbach, First Clerk. Honorable Sir and Honorable Sirs, In compliance with Your Honors' most respected command and to obediently satisfy the highly esteemed intention of Their High Excellencies, the High Indian Government, contained in the dispatch of 20 August Anno 1731, brought here per the ship de Hopvogel, to inspect the Company's effects as of the last of February, we, the undersigned ordinary commissioners, in the presence of the purser, have proceeded to the Company's pantries and elsewhere, having properly recounted, surveyed, gauged, and weighed the following, and firstly: The Provisions Rice, remaining balance on the last of August Anno 1732: 142392 1/3 lb Delivered to the small vessel de Windhond: 16723 lb According to the monthly specifications: 28396 lb According to the six-monthly ditto: 9944 lb Found in remaining balance: 86197 lb Total: 141260 lb Thus found to be short: 1132 1/3 lb Being 3/4 percent amply, the reasons for which are that the said grain in the sweltering warehouses becomes extraordinarily weeviled and heavily dried out, and upon handling gets crushed, and in addition Report made in the form of findings and presented in all respect to the Honorable Mr. Leendert de Cleen, Senior Merchant and Commander of this Persian Directorate with its dependencies, together with the Council. From Persia under date 30 November Anno 1733. to that comes into consideration that the said staple food has lain in the said warehouses for well over two years, and that the deliveries during the said period were weighed out with the small weight, and that what the rats and mice consume causes a notable decrease, both of which were unavoidable. Katjang, purchased on various dates: 10420 lb Whereof delivered to the small vessel de Windhond: 7380 lb According to the monthly specifications: 3035 1/3 lb Total: 10415 1/3 lb Found to be short in delivery: 4 2/3 lb Being barely 26 percent, for which the same reasons are given as noted with the rice regarding the weighing out with the small weight, and that the said grain is also heavily subject to drying out. Butter, purchased at the bazaar on various dates: 555 3/4 lb Whereof delivered to the ship de Windhond: 421 lb According to the monthly specifications: 131 lb Found in remaining balance: 3 3/4 lb Total: 555 3/4 lb Meat, remaining balance on the last of August: 8675 1/3 lb Distributed to the European garrison: 951 lb Found in remaining balance: 7724 1/3 lb Total: 8675 1/3 lb Bacon, remaining balance under the last of August 1732: 687 lb Distributed to the garrison: 951 lb Found in remaining balance: 2093 lb Tamarind, remaining balance under the last of August 1732: 2193 7/10 lb Delivered according to monthly specifications: 809 lb Found in remaining balance: 1784 lb Shortage found: 100 3/10 lb Being 4 1/2 percent amply, which deficit must undoubtedly have arisen because this fruit of itself is subject to heavy syrupy degradation and drying out, and has now had to be kept for between five and six years in such a consuming, hot climate as this; for the said batch was brought here in the years 1727 and 1728. Arrack Api, remaining balance under the last of August: 5130 2/5 cans Whereof delivered to the small vessel de Windhond: 1765 cans According to the monthly specifications: 2040 1/2 cans According to half-yearly ditto: 473 cans Found in remaining balance: 573 cans Total: 4851 1/2 cans Consequently found to be short: 279 1/10 cans Being 5 1/5 percent amply, or well over 19 1/2 cans per leaguer. This shortfall must certainly have been caused in this glowing region by the hot and dry winds, which are the cause that

Upon the receipt of these packages, as appears above, one having yielded somewhat less and the other somewhat more upon the scale, and furthermore 2 packages, namely one botidaar No. 49 and 1 ditto spreads known under 4/15, having been dragged through the water by the coolies during carrying and becoming wet at one of the corners, we opened them in the presence of all concerned both on account of this and regarding the difference in weight, and found them in very good accord and without damage, for which reason all the rest was likewise secured and stored in the warehouse. 48 78 312 8 pieces cambric cloth in a small package wrapped in wax cloth were opened and found in good condition. Long Bengal gunnies had to be delivered according to invoice per 2000 pieces, but were brought in as follows, namely: good: 1892 pieces suffocated: 108 pieces Total: 2000 pieces The good ones being stored, the latter separated together and made ready for dispatch, they being also rotten, and a quantity thereof having broken into larger and smaller pieces, wherefore they could not well be counted; the ship's officers stated regarding this spoilage that it had been the bottom layer thereof, and by moisture they must have affected one another, which could neither be conceived nor prevented. 126 chests of nutmegs of the sort rompe ought according to invoice and bill of lading to contain: lb 22001. Remaining (as much as was weighed on the scales in the balance house): lb 21902. Item, in dust which was collected in the presence of the ship's officers upon emptying the chests: lb 94 lb 21917¾ and thus short: lb 89¼ Makes ample 3/8 percent, and added hereto the 1/2 percent which the officers weighed out with excess weight, comes together to ample 7/8 percent, in all probability caused by drying out to which this spice, besides being subject to reduction, also when emptying the chests is lost to dust and crushed. 6 ditto spreads 380 pieces 6 72 72

97 From Persia, dated 30 November Anno 1733 380 pack-chests of cloves [illegible] and which according to the bill of lading and manifest should have contained net 50106 pounds yet here upon accurate reweighing have only yielded 50044 pounds therefore short by 62 pounds amounting to 1/8 per cent Joh:s or 1/8 per cent Sch:s with the Batavia 1/2 per cent. This underweight is certainly caused during the pouring out and reweighing of the said fruit, whereby its heads are crushed, and consequently getting lost or turning to nothing, one finally perceives the deficit and it is not to be damaged: 150 bales of fine Ceylon Cinnamon at 80 pounds each, or according to invoice 12000 pounds of which upon storage it was discovered that: 140 bales in the outermost well-conditioned, makes net 11200 pounds 10 ditto, which have yielded of good bark 552 pounds together of good 11752 pounds And separated of suffocated 248 pounds 150 bales as before and together 12000 pounds As soon as the parcel was discovered to be infected, the above-mentioned 10 bales were laid aside and the remaining 140 good ones were also stored separately, since one could recognize nothing on their exterior that they were spoiled. And immediately, in the presence of the ship's officers, before the warehouse master, and in our presence along with the Company's brokers, each of the cited bales was opened and, upon sorting by those sorters, rejected as undeliverable: the said ship's officers further giving as reasons for the cargo that these bales were received by them unopened and properly stowed in the ship, that no moisture could have reached them, but rather that the spoilage must have arisen through its natural attraction, and having caught moisture, the one affected and infected the other. Furthermore, the spoiled cinnamon was repacked into 3 bales and the good into 6 ditto. 2 sokkels of mace of the type raap, which according to invoice should contain each gross 165 and net 154, and thus both gross 330 pounds and net 308 pounds weighed here 326 pounds subtract the tare pro rata as above 22 pounds remains for net 304 pounds And a deficit of 4 pounds or 1 1/3 per cent Sch:s. Yet since it has been found that the sokkels generally weigh 18, 20 to 22 pounds tare each, and here above only 11 pounds was taken, a much greater underweight will accordingly be found upon closer inspection or delivery thereof. Furthermore, the sokkels were found on the exterior to be well-conditioned, and to the one a note was tied, showing only a net weight of 161 pounds, which was left attached thereto, and both were clearly marked and stowed 24 ounces [illegible]

From Persia under date 30 9ber A:o 1733 24 ounces of spice oils in a wooden square box, of which 12 ounces Cinnamon oil, 6 ounces Clove oil, all by the chief surgeon of this Office 3 ditto Nutmeg oil, found in good condition upon inspection, 3 ditto Mace oil, 2 chests of eaglewood which together should contain net lb. 340 of which in one chest was found lb. 160 and in the other lb. 177 And together net lb. 337 thus short lb. 3 Being well 1/2 percent, which short weight in all likelihood must have arisen through drying out and moreover the loss that passes unnoticed during re-weighing, the said chests having otherwise been in very good condition and also, after re-weighing was done, taken care of again and the seams of the chests pitch-caulked for preservation. 552 canasters of powdered sugar Yokabesse, as cargo and of which according to the invoice the 570 canasters should deliver lb. 160064 yet here the 552 ditto have yielded no more than lb. 153891 thus short 18 canasters and an under-weight of lb. 6118 being 3 3/4 percent ample and arisen through an extraordinary leakage in the outer planking of the said ship on the starboard side, where not only the 18 canasters of powdered sugar, but moreover another 15 ditto candy sugar were found completely melted, washed away, and perished. Furthermore, the said ship's officers allege that no effort was spared to get behind the leak and to keep it continually under control by pumping, but because the water became choked, this could not produce the desired effect, two declarations being presented herewith to this effect that the same was found to be thus and could not possibly have been prevented; wherefore the said officers live in humble hope that they will be favorably excused without charge to their account. 74 canasters of candy sugar which likewise, according to writing, should have been 89 canasters on the scale net in weighing lb. 25007 of which the 74 ditto have yielded no more than lb. 19785 Ergo short 15 canasters and lb. 5222 makes 20 7/8 percent ample, and of which the true cause has already been shown just above; the ship's officers pray that they may refer thereto and likewise remain excused regarding compensation for the same in the manner as said. 61 small chests of Japan copper, in bars, having together according to invoice at 125 each small chest net to contain lb. 7625 yet here on the scale delivered no more than lb. 7556 And too little lb. 69 Comes to 8/9 percent ample, and with addition of 1/2 percent weighed out to the ship's officers, together 1 7/18 percent ample. Of this short weight no other reasons can be given than that most of the small chests in the ship's hold, thoroughly soaked, were coated inside with muddy water through the washing away of gunpowder charcoal, etc., and were further damaged in the unloading; for which reason all the chests were emptied into sacks, and then brought ashore from the boat. From Persia under Date 30 9ber A:o 1733 Some of them being found broken apart or in pieces, and immediately all the copper was cleaned with water in the warehouse, rubbed down, and dried; also, after repair and cleaning of the chests, weighed out each to a net weight of 125 lb. and 1 ditto of 56 lb., properly nailed shut, and stored; so that the said short weight in all likelihood must have been notoriously caused in transferring out of the ship's hold, or during the emptying of the small chests into the sacks in the said boat, through the misplacement of some pieces; at least the ship's officers declare to have used all humanly possible precautions therein. Sapanwood of Siam according to invoice lb. 20000 here delivered no more than lb. 19773 thus short lb. 227 making 1 1/8 percent ample, and with the ditto as above together 1 5/8 percent ample. For this shortage likewise no other reasons can be given than that the same, both during receipt and unloading, item in bringing it onto and off the scales, splinters and gets lost, the same being otherwise also somewhat damp and soaked through, it being thought that this is likewise to be attributed as the principal cause to the said leakage. 100 lb. packing twine in one pack delivered in good condition and stored. Gunpowder according to invoice from Batavia 100 barrels or lb. 5000 from Cochin 27 ditto or lb. 1350 together 127 barrels or lb. 6350 received here as usable 100 barrels or lb. 5000 Item as spoiled 27 ditto lb. 1350 Comes as above lb. 6350 Caused by the springing of a leak in the said keel on the voyage from Batavia to Cochin, at which time on the last-mentioned roadstead the leak was discovered, and 27 small barrels of gunpowder were completely wet.

107 From Persia, dated 30 November Anno 1735 We, the undersigned, Hans Webo, chief mate, and Ian Parelsz, gunner, both appointed in said service aboard this vessel, hereby declare at the requisition of the Honorable Skipper Pieter van Hengelen, with true words instead of an oath, to be true and truthful, that on 23 November of the current year we entered the powder magazine with the intention to turn the gunpowder, and after inspection found it to be very wet. We found that the cause was that the air holes had been blocked by the laboring of the ship on the 18th, 19th, and 20th of this month, having had a stiff, reefed topsail and lower-sail breeze, by which the dirt was washed loose and filled the air holes with the same, due to which the water remained standing in the powder magazine and made wet and unusable 27 fifty-pound casks, or thirteen hundred and fifty pounds of gunpowder. They performed their duty at the latest powder turning, inspected and examined everything, and found nothing from which it was to be feared that such misfortunes could arise. All that is stated above, we, the deponents, declare From Persia, dated 30 November Anno 1738 mentioned in the head of this to be the sincere and pure truth thereof, remaining ready, if necessary, to confirm the same further with solemn oaths. Done on the ship Jacoba, 24 November 1732. Was signed: H: Weboo and Ian Paris. In the margin: known to me, signed: J:s Hendriksen. Below: agrees, was signed: J:s Moijaart, secretary. Below: agrees, was signed J:b Diepenbagh, sworn clerk. To the Right Honorable Adriaan Maaren, Commander and Chief Governor of the Coast of Mallabaar, Canara, and Wingurla: Right Honorable and Commanding Lord, The undersigned, having been provided with Your Right Honorable's highly respected order, have, in compliance thereof, carefully inspected the twenty-seven casks of gunpowder of 50 pounds each from the ship the Jacoba, which combustible 109 From Persia, dated 30 October Anno 1738 material upon exact inspection was found wet and like mud, the same being also completely unfit to be re-powdered or dried. Hoping herewith to have complied with the respected order of Your Right Honorable, we shall take the honor to subscribe with veneration.

Having arrived there, after having conducted a careful examination, they found the stowage in the hold to have been properly done with 1½ feet of dunnage in the bilge, and both across the entire hold and at the ends of the knees between and against the same properly dunnaged; but beside this also a large leakage in the bilge ceiling in the run of the ceiling at starboard, a good foot above the dunnage, which according to their opinion must have caused the melting of some cannasters of sugar, 141 From Persia, dated 30 November Anno 1732 giving, they, the appearers, as reasons for their knowledge, to have experienced and seen the same as such, remaining ready to confirm these their declarations, if necessary, with an oath.

From Persia under date 30 9ber A:o 1708 Valiant Pieter van Hengelen, skipper, Jacobus Henderiksen bookkeeper and Hansveboo chief mate, all in the aforementioned service, appointed to the ship Jacoba lying here in the roads, who declare, to be true and truthful, that through the heavy and manifest leakage thirty-three canassers of sugar have melted; namely 18 powder, 15 candy, which were so demolished that they could not be kept on shore in order to satisfy the accounting for the number of six hundred fifty-nine canassers, presuming the same must have occurred in the Gulf of Persia on the 23rd, 24th, and 25th of March, when they had heavy seas and gale force under low sails, whereby even her foremast was cracked, as well as the foretopmast, so that this great damage of the aforementioned sugars must have been caused by the aforementioned leakage and storm winds, notwithstanding the pumping never stopped, but the same was always kept pumped out through diligence, having observed during the unloading that the water stood fully 1 to 4½ feet above the dunnage, so that there was a blockage of water 113 From Persia under date 30:' Gb:r 1733 of water, so that the same could not reach the pump and therefore could not have been prevented by any manner of other precautions.

From Persia under date 30 October 1733 having gone thither, detected no private merchandise, but indeed that the first-mentioned vessel had a draught of 17½ feet at the stem and 19 feet at the sternpost, as well as the last-mentioned 15½ feet at the front and 16½ feet at the rear. Herewith, Honorable Sir and Rulers, we hope to have executed our commission to satisfaction, and in this take the liberty to call ourselves with much respect, beneath stood: your Honors' humble, submissive, and dutiful servants; was signed W:r Heijnitsz and A: J: V: berchlijk in the middle in my presence; signed: g: Gutchi; in the margin: Gamron this 30 March anno 1733; beneath stood: agrees; was signed J=b Diepenbagh, Honorable Sworn Clerk. Report made and delivered to the Honorable Mr. Leendert de Cleen, Senior Merchant and Commander over the Company's prestigious interests in the Empire of Persia with the jurisdictions thereof. Honorable Sir and Ruler, in obedience to your Honor's most esteemed order, 119 From Persia under date 30 September 1733 the poor box of this Company's having been opened by us, the undersigned, as express commissioners, we found its contents to consist of diverse coinages, to wit: 57 pieces, that is fifty-seven pieces of European ducats 8 pieces, eight Moorish ditto 62 pieces, sixty-two Persian abbassis 502 pieces, five hundred and two ditto Mamoodies 1½ pieces, one and a half silver Ducaton 2½ pieces, two and a half ditto Rupees 42 pieces, forty-two ditto Dubbeltjes 1 piece, one ditto Schelling 2 pieces, two Cochin Fanams 10 pieces, ten copper Duiten 5 pieces, five ditto Pitjes 1 piece, one Pais The mentioned 62 abbassis and 502 Persian Mamoodies having been traded by the Company's brokers for good and current European ducats, each at 18 Mamoodies, for which thirty-five pieces of the said ducats were received, which, being added to the aforementioned fifty-seven pieces, make a sum of ninety-two pieces of European ducats, which we, together with the other coinages, have put into a bag, sealed with the Company's small seal, and placed in readiness to send to Batavia with the first ship's opportunity. Wherewith we hope your Honor's always to be respected command will have been fulfilled, wherefore we in all humility take the great honor of subscribing ourselves, beneath stood: your Honors' submissive, obedient, and dutiful servants; was signed M=r Heyjnitsz and C=n muller; in the margin: Gamron the 18 June Anno 1733; beneath stood: agrees; was signed J:b Diepenbagh, Honorable Sworn Clerk. Report made and in all respect delivered to the Honorable Mr. Leenderd de Cleen, Senior Merchant and Commander of this Persian Directorship with the jurisdictions thereof. Honorable Sir and Ruler, In obedience to your Honor's respected order, we, the undersigned, as express commissioners, in the presence of two shipwrights, have betaken ourselves to the ship d' Windhond, which was brought up here to the roads on the 19th of June last, and inspected its condition as accurately as possible, whereupon it was found that the foretopmast was broken; the entire ship on the outside and all the seams of the decks inboard pulled open, consequently from the damaging firing of the ships de Jacoba and Castor and Pollux outside the Persian Gulf; the entire set of lower sails on the yards full of holes and torn; the gingerbread work of the stern transom demolished and shot to pieces in various places; furthermore in the hold, the ceiling planks with various holes, as also some iron bolts in the knees decayed through rust, though everything still dry, but everywhere infected with such stinking heaps of filth as if beasts had kept house, the set of new sails being almost entirely rotten and perished. After this accurately performed inspection, we have, in fulfillment of the further orders, caused everything that could be repaired and in any way restored here to be brought into full condition from the aforementioned date until the present, and matters have been handled in that regard as is set forth below for your consideration, to wit: In place of the broken foretopmast, a new one, which was carried as a spare on the said vessel, has been fashioned and stepped again; the sets of old and new sails have also been repaired to the extent that the ships de Jacoba and Castor and Pollux were able to spare new canvas for that purpose without their own inconvenience, as well as the new set already bent. The hawseholes and seams on the outside have been caulked and provided with battens made from planks of nail chests. With the caulking of the decks inboard, progress has been made to the extent that the remainder can very easily be completed on the voyage or here in the roads. And finally, the gingerbread work of the stern and of the galleries has been rectified as much as possible; however, on the ceiling planks in the hold, which are very much damaged by worms, nor on the bolts which are very rotten in the knees, could anything else be done except only to caulk the holes between the said bolts and the rotten wood with oakum and to pour them full of pitch and resin, leaving it at that until such time as the keel can be fully repaired of all its defects in a more suitable place. Nevertheless, according to our humble opinion, the same Windhond is currently sufficiently in a state to undertake the voyage to Batavia, whereas on the contrary it might become entirely unserviceable if it were to remain here any longer.
