On 8 March 1962, the municipal council of Amerongen met to discuss several topics, including:

• The municipal budget for 1962.
• The appointment of a leader.
• The sale of land at Rijnstraat 4.
• The appointment of a cashier for the municipality.
• Amendments to the police ordinance regarding the keeping of cattle and poultry in the village center.

Gedeputeerde Staten disapproved the division of building land between Kievit and Bergjessteeg. The municipality planned 13 plots, but Gedeputeerde Staten found 7 sufficient. This would nearly double the price per plot, making them unsellable according to the municipal executive. Gedeputeerde Staten suggested increasing the price of other land to compensate. A solution was urgent as contractors wanted to start work soon. It was proposed to revise the delegation decision of 9 October and delegate the sale of the lands east and west of Koenestraat to the municipal executive. Meanwhile, Mr. van Asbeck would design a new division plan. The council was to approve two subsidies:

• f 1250 for the music association Ons Genoegen, in line with the guidelines of the Koninklijke Nederlandse Federatie.
• f 410 for the Utrechts Stedelijk Orkest.

The AR election association compiled the candidate list for the municipal elections. G. J. van Barneveld was the list leader, followed by M. Doornebal, N. A. Putman, G. Nagtegaal, M. J. van Prattenburg, A. Hoofmeyer, J. van Ree Jzn, P. v. de Heyden, and W. Reede Wzn.

Veer as secretary, and A. van Viegen as treasurer. A members' meeting was scheduled for 14 March at Jawel Juist to elect a definitive board and compile the candidate list for the municipal elections. On 10 March, the youth choirs of the Christelijk Gemengd Koor 'Asaf' performed the operetta 'Goudhaartje en de troubadour' at the Clubhuis in Amerongen, led by M. Netelenbos. About 60 children participated. Younger children could attend the dress rehearsal in the afternoon for a minimal fee.

The royal couple announced plans to establish youth centers near Hunneschans in Uddel and near Veere. A national committee was formed to raise funds for these centers, with collections organized by local associations.

On 23 May 1732, in Macassar, Governor Josua van Arrewijne strongly complained about the unsafe conditions for travelers between Bima and Macassar, especially in the highlands of Saleijer, Tambora, and Mangaraij.

After the usual military exercises and religious service, nothing noteworthy occurred.

Salomon Iacobsz, a translator, returned from Bantimoerong. He had been sent there on 2 March 1732 to retrieve mining equipment.

A Chinese trader named Quehoekong arrived in Macassar from Batavia with his Chialoup ship for trade.

The ships Adam and Eva returned to Macassar. They had been sent with a group from Patchiallangs, led by a supervisor, to Glisson to recover a heavy anchor lost by the ship Hogenes. Their efforts failed because they could not maneuver properly. When three cables broke, they were forced to abandon the attempt. They submitted a report, signed by themselves and the crew of Patchiallangs, to Governor Josua van Arrewijne.

The report stated that they tried to recover the anchor by dragging the area with grapnels and pulling on the cables, but all attempts failed. They even tried pulling the cable by hand, but it did not budge. The report was signed by G. van den Bergh, J. Scheepsdorp, J. Selderswijk, and Cornelis de Coning in Macassar on 6 April 1732.

On the afternoon of 10 April 1732, 10 people visited Governor Josua van Arrewijne.

On 23 May 1732, from Macassar, 2 letters were dispatched. The first was a reply to one sent on 12 March 1732 by the resident Willem van Duijven via the returning bimanees Djenang Bitsjo, escorted by a shackled Chinese, to the authorities. The second letter was about the cost and good intentions for the garrison, taken by Corporal Daniel Lokhorst, the patchalls (supervisor), and others. They had a cargo of 10 tiende (a measure) of rice, which they properly delivered.

In response, Boelecomba left the land today to return, under the escort letters also dated 3 May, as per the dispatch of these authorities. The governor ordered the anchor to be slipped by the dirk werff ship Hogenes to lighten it, as they declared their duty to do so, as evidenced by the materials they took for it.

Upon the appearance of three different Saturday rent vessels in the rheede (roadstead) of Macassar, the lord

On 23 May 1732, a request was made from Macassar to take a sufficient person to safely transfer anchor to the ship's hold. On April 1732:

• In the afternoon, the regent of Poelouw Bankeeng visited the governor's house, bringing an old slave belonging to the king of Tambora. The slave had been hidden there by the fled regent Eeni and was immediately handed over to the king.
• On Wednesday, Carre man and genroeroe, coming from Mangaraij, reported to the governor that the area was very unsafe. They had been attacked by two robbers on their way and barely escaped, as confirmed by their detailed account given to the political secretariat.
• On Thursday, a police meeting was held, with 3 decisions recorded in the resolutions of that date.
• On the set date, letters and gift goods from Batavia for the good king were to be collected. On Friday, after the requested access was granted, the following Macassar dignitaries appeared at the water gate of the castle for this purpose:
  • tomelalang
  • crain grisse
  • batia oete
  • simpanang
  • bonto majannang
  • paleemba
  • aloe
  • bonto tangan
  • macale
  • baroatngeen
  • den glarang van bontuala
  • matoa wasoo
  They were introduced to the governor's house by Hendrik van Rijd, the under-merchant and warehouse clerk, and Anthonij de Visser, the garrison bookkeeper. After a short wait, the letters and gifts for their king were handed over. Following the local custom, they were treated to a local feast and, accompanied by the introducers, were escorted out of the gate with 9 cannon shots. They then traveled to Bima and Bantimorong.

On 23 May 1731, a letter from Macassar was sent to the government via the council of Ternate. On 1 October 1731, Hendrik Theunisz, the resident, arrived along with the regents of Balla Boelo, Ziolo, and Dantarang with their annual tribute. After receiving permission on 25 October 1731, Governor Biwas, the hereditary prince Boemi Partiga, accompanied by the elderly matron Crain Tanna Tanna and other court officials, paid their respects to the governor as was customary.

Boemi Partiga stated that he had come to appear before the governor again and to urge a swift expedition of troops. He mentioned that he had already waited a long time and now understood that most of the overseas allies had already arrived. He also requested to know how he should conduct himself.

The governor replied that he was waiting for confirmation from Boemi Partiga's brothers, as had been communicated to him from Macassar on 23 May 1730 and 1 October 1730. Once they arrived, the governor would inform him of what was necessary.

Boemi Partiga responded that, as a young prince, he humbly requested the governor to instruct him fatherly and to consider his weak position if he lacked knowledge in any matter.

The governor replied that he would gladly do so, but he noted that all sincere recommendations and serious warnings were repeatedly ignored by the stubborn leaders of Boni. This was evident in the delay and the refusal to send the urgently requested Riose Maleijers. He added that such matters would be discussed and addressed in due time.

1731-10-23 in Macassar, Toealoe and Daing Wangawaij from Wadjoe were brought to the Governor by the Company's interpreters. They conveyed a message from Borijs Coningin (Queen) and her regents, stating that her Majesty's request for the return of goods (seized by the Company's cruisers near Toerang) had been delayed. They now inquired when the restitution would occur. The response was that the Company's cruisers had not seized entire ships but only parts of the goods, as listed in the claim of 1731-08-27. The Bonijse Hoff (Boni Court) again requested the return of these goods, considering the passengers and the seized ship from Macassar (dated 1732-05-23) were found innocent and released. The Governor replied that it was unlikely these people had any stake in the seized goods, as they had been thoroughly examined by the Cruijs Patchiallangs (cruiser leaders), the Fiscal, and the Commissioners up to their departure, and no goods belonging to them were found. He suspected that the real claimants were the arrogant escaped Buginese, not these poor passengers. The Glarang (a title or official) had addressed them and requested restitution. The Governor then advised bringing them forward to proceed legally against them, as they had been unwilling to submit their ship for inspection.

On 23 September 1714, officials from Macassar in the Castle Rotterdam wrote a letter. The signatories were J:s P:s Sipman, D: van Berendregt, H: Wolsraed, Ioann:s Steenhoff, I: vander Htee, I: Happon, and A:s vanden Anker.

They addressed Christoffie van Swoll, the Governor-General, and the Council of the Dutch East Indies. They mentioned a previous letter from 8 August about the Anakoda Care, a very generous Todjang lord, and others from Hoe and Temaaise.

They had received requests to investigate harmful trade and smuggling of spices in the Company's territories. They wanted to know where the spices came from and who sold them to foreign nations like the English, Chinese, and Buginese.

They also considered how to stop this harmful smuggling with the least offense. However, they could not find any useful information from the Johoreese ships. The captains had left again or were hiding in Tsinrana Oom.

They reported that only 5 ships had sailed to Johoor from 26 April 1714 to 12 July 1714, including one named Toxalla Wadjores with 146 bong.

On 23 May 1732, in Macassar, a meeting was held. Governor noted that the severe illness of his highest official had improved, and he intended to visit Tello with his family for about 5 days. His wife wished to buy some goods. They had passed through the Chinese Campang and had casual conversations for about an hour until noon. The Governor wished his highness a speedy recovery and took a friendly leave, showing his sorrow outwardly with a pale face, yet he appeared stronger than previous reports suggested.

On 19 October 1731, a police meeting was held in Macassar. A letter from Resident Duijvenvoorde, dated 9 October, arrived from the Residency of Bima. On 20 October, envoys from Pangar—Nakama, Nangtendo, Bamest, and Nangtendo Bolo—arrived with a letter from the local ruler and nobles, addressed to the government. The Sabandhar first brought them in. After their greeting and a usual gift, they were dismissed.

On 21 October, a Sunday, the sick visitor Nairak conducted a proper church service. In the afternoon, on 23 October, the under-merchants Lursenius and van Reyd were sent as express couriers. They brought letters and gifts from the Goan court to his High Excellency. These were escorted by a battalion with a flying banner to outside the castle and taken aboard the shallop of the citizen Jan Hendrik Krookwits.

23 May 1732
In Macassar, a report was submitted to Governor Josua van Arrewijne regarding events from November 1731.
On 5 November at 5:30 PM, they received orders and anchored between 3 loaded ships from Masandantanna at 10 PM.
The next morning at 6:30 AM, Pieter Sandbeerg was ordered to tell the ship captains, in the name of Governor, to go to Sabau Darij to get their passes and have their cargo inspected. The owners of the goods were to be identified.
Intje Garang, an interpreter, relayed this message. However, the Ana Chodas on the first ship were waiting for others at the shore and had not followed the order.
It was clarified that the Dutch East India Company (EComp) only wanted to uphold its rights, and the ships could leave the next day or the day after.
Meanwhile, Pieter Sandbeecq went to the Patchalls. A canoe arrived with Soeroang Thoda Lima, head of the Wadsoreesen, saying the Ana Chodas had gone to Bantualak near Masangdantanna.
They were told not to fear, to lift their anchors, and go to Sabandarij as it was nearby and orders required it.
Soeroang Thoda Lima asked for patience to inform Matoa of his return. This was granted with orders to hurry.
Soon after, the interpreter arrived with two envoys from Masadantanna, asking why they were waiting for the ships, as their council had decided not to sail yet. If the EComp attacked, they would defend with their slave forts.
It was replied that if that was their intention, there was no need to wait, but that was not the intention. They asked again to be allowed to inform Masadantanna of their good intentions, which was granted with a promise of a quick response.
Later, another envoy arrived with greetings from Macadantanna, asking them not to be hasty, as the ruler had sent his interpreter with an envoy to the Governor. They would report back as soon as possible. This messenger could not be refused.

On 23 October 1738, a letter from Macassar requested that the Dutch East India Company send a ship or another vessel to store and transport the harvested rice from the plains.

In the margin, a note dated 7 September 1738 from Valckenburg mentioned that Dinamos Coerewang had visited the previous evening on behalf of his king. He reported that a messenger from Matoa Wadjo had been sent to Crain Bontolancas to order him to make every effort to ensure that all former allies and subjects of Goa would be treated with kindness and that the unwilling would be forced.

On 25 August 1737, Datoe Soping from Macassar sent greetings to the honorable and highly respected lords, the honorable council, and other well-meaning friends.

He informed them that a nobleman named Arong Atting had been summoned by the matoa of Wadjo. Upon arrival, he found a Soeroeang (envoy) of Bonij's king, who delivered a message on behalf of his queen. She intended to send the first Tomilalang nobleman Dain Mamala in Hab Aroe Tannette to show signs of wanting to conquer the land of Bonij for the Netherlands East Indies, along with the honorable lord Adriaan Hendrik Smout, the appointed Governor and Director, and the honorable council of Rotterdam Castle in Macassar.

After sailing from Cormandel to Macassar, they learned that skipper Abraham van der Marck, who was then in charge of the Bantam settlement, had allegedly mistreated the officers of an English ship. Therefore, they summoned him to answer for this before the Council of Justice, as recorded in the resolution book on 19 of the same month. However, he sufficiently cleared himself of the charges on 13 July.

The Thomas, an English ship, had been at sea for about 12 months without any capital. Its captain was Thomas 's Kimer, brother of the Agent at Bantam. During the voyage and in Batavia, he had much trouble and unrest with his crew. The anchor was often raised and dropped, or the entire crew went ashore, except for a few, claiming they refused to sail with him again due to the poor treatment they had endured during the journey and feared more of the same. With no supplies and no capital to save themselves, they even ended up in disputes with each other before the Council of Justice. Eventually, they reconciled with the captain.

They wanted to bring harsh terms and keep the trade in Macassar for themselves. If any of their yachts went there, they should check if the English would keep their word and provide good assurance so that the matter could be considered without hesitation.

They had promised a good reward to the aforementioned Schort. The aforementioned Englishman also informed them that about 40 junks from Macassar sailed to Roehoe and Combelle, and it would not be possible to prevent them from transporting cloves, even with many yachts. Most of the junks were manned by Malays from Patana, Hohor, and other places who did not reside in Macassar but traded throughout the Indies. Few natives of Macassar sailed on junks to distant places. The junks from Amboina came via north Celebes, the widest gate of Bouton, or south Saleijer, with few passing through the Boucqueron. Some unloaded goods on the east side of Celebes and transported them overland to Macassar with buffaloes.

The King of Bouton had requested assistance against Macassar. If any of their ships or yachts passed by and were still in good condition, they could greet him on their behalf and give him a small reward instead of the slave he had sent. They should explain that it had not been possible to support him this monsoon due to their forces being sent against the Portuguese from Macau and the Spaniards from Manila. They hoped he would hold out against Macassar victoriously and that they would visit him next monsoon if possible.

Governor Speult had proposed to pay the soldiers' salaries monthly from the gains to excuse the ransom and maintain order among the citizens. They agreed if it could be arranged in Amboina to use the income from the land and the surplus from local trade to pay for the garrisons and other expenses, which they also considered profitable for the Company.

They should properly inform themselves about the situation of the Alfures.

In 1403, there was hope to soon bring Cayeli to peace. However, this hope was dashed when the Patchiallang ship, which had been sent to patrol the North, was found wrecked on the rocks upon its return. As a result, it could not be saved. The region of Sas was unsettled due to the behavior of Arou Boijoe, but the ministers hoped to calm the unrest and resolve the conflicts between the local people and those from Saleijer. The people of Saleijer had paid their annual tribute and, due to their poverty, were excused from providing services for the expedition against Wadjo the following year. Instead, they were to supply lime and chalk, along with approval for the election of some leaders under the given order.

There was still unrest in Mandhar. A ship had run aground there, and trees had been discovered according to a report. The unrest in Mandhar continued due to the dispute between Tjenra Mandhar and Marainia Bellanippa. This situation had unfortunately led to a disadvantage for the Compagnie (Company).

Previously, Tjenra Mandhar had shown goodwill towards the crew of the ship by providing money, as well as food, drink, and arranging safe transport. As a result, the stranded and departing cargo was saved in this way and otherwise.

Via telegraph through Soerabaija, favorable reports were received about the situation in the Mandhar States, under the government of Celebes and its dependencies. The expeditionary troops sent to the aforementioned states had returned to the capital Makassar by 30 November 1882. The main ruler of Mandhar was provisionally replaced.

Mandhar-Papalang and Mandhar-Lembeang had already partially paid the damages imposed by the government for earlier committed beach looting. Wala-Nipa, located in Mandhar, was punished for resistance. On our side, one European and one native, both belonging to the Zeemacht, were killed.

A telegram received on 24 November 1882 from Bandjermasin via Soerabaija reported favorable news about the condition of the residency of the Southern and Eastern divisions of Borneo, and about trade and shipping there. The prices of essential goods remained unchanged.

On 9 June 1740, a list of items was recorded in Macassar, including:

• 2 needles
• 1 plowshare
• 1 caulking hammer
• 1 iron tool
• 1 chisel
• 1 drill bit with a handle
• 1 pair of pliers
• 1 file
• 1 anchor
• 2 sea charts on paper
• 1 parchment sea chart of Macassar

The document was signed in Castle Rotterdam on 27 May 1740 by C=s Rosenboom and agreed upon by G=t Fek, secretary.

It was addressed to Adriaan Hendrik Smout, Governor and Director, as well as Admiral and Field Commander of the Celebes coast.

On the morning of the same day, the undersigned delivered to the ship Velzen, docked at Rheede, 183 male and 3 female slaves. These individuals were sealed with the Company's seal on their right arms. Their names included:

• Gappa van borrisello
• Paria basse Soema
• Macassar Sappa enbo
• boegis panaij
• Sandauw bassa
• Bontoparrang
• Pakko
• Zaena
• Sopping Paddaij
• wadjou bidoe
• Boegis Simbang
• mangeraij lasaij
• Boegis Sarre
• Turatte tadewa
• Boegis tomara
• Manje
• badjoe
• bontoparrang
• Poelo

In 1661, the budget for wages was ƒ100,672, but it was already insufficient. The ship de Crabnabanda was sent to Guinea to get more linen cloth. Military actions in Manipa caused this. Even though sailors and soldiers received only half their pay, the total expenses, including a part of ƒ100,673:12:15 for general soldiers, were very high. Profits from selling clothes and goods were similar to previous years. The country's income was 2,000 guilders more, but interest payments of ƒ9,528:15:15 and other trading costs reduced the overall profits. Many clothes from the American cargo were recorded as credits, but they had been debited with an advance when they arrived. Due to peace in Ceram and high demand for linen there, advances on linen would be larger. The calculation to stretch the cloth supply until January 1662 was too tight, so they might not last until the arrival of supply ships. Therefore, the small ship de Cras was sent to Banda to ask friends there to provide surplus Guinea linen cloth. The need for more cloth increased because of the expected trade to Ceram and Bima, and what was needed for the clove monsoon. They hoped this would increase the East India Company's profits. If the Ceram people made trips to Macassar, Java, and elsewhere as per their contract, they would take a lot of people from Amboina and Banda, requiring as many clothes as the Amboinese themselves. This was especially true if, besides the sago trade, the East India Company could trade other goods without loss. They tried to find out if more people than Orangcaya Leewt and Sengadie Touban were involved in hiding many unregistered clove trees, as reported to Deleeuwin in request 8.

On 30 April 1705, in Macassar, Radja Bonij took leave to return to his kingdom for the benefit of the unrest. Previously, in the past year, communication was established with the returning Ternate ruler via a ship. Additionally, the improper actions of Radja Raginda in the lands of Caijeli were addressed, and two letters, dated 9 August and 24 October, were received and responded to accordingly. Copies of these can be found in the outgoing journal letter book on their respective dates.

To avoid repetition, it was referred to proceed with the Bonij matter, from which there had been a slight deviation due to this interruption.

On 6 November, Radja Bonij with his two wives came to the castle of the governor De Roo and the council to take his leave. He was to travel to Chinrana in Bonij. Meanwhile, the transport vessels that belonged to his highness were brought to the seaside near the castle. After a reception and expressions of great satisfaction, the king, accompanied by his entourage, embarked on his journey directly without stopping or waiting anywhere else.

Apart from what was discussed and continued, apart from the matter of the people from the district of Ouronkeke who were previously in Goa and still residing there, which falls under the matter of Goa and the king of Souratte, who is also the Radja of Sago, nothing more was mentioned about it under the Goa matter.

During his highness's stay there, nothing more was recorded.

On 10 May 1660, in Amboina at Castle Victoria, Abraham Verspreet agreed to pay Catarina degoijer, the wife of the chief merchant Pieter degoijer, the amount of 800 reals. This was due to a power of attorney related to a debt for borrowed money. The debt was already paid by the citizen Jan Thonisz: de Kork according to a statement by Jacob Gronik, a free citizen of Batavia and currently present, to be repaid to him. This was the result of the free sale of merchant positions according to a sworn statement.

The total amount was 640 reals, with additional costs of 372 reals and 11 stuivers, making a total of 1012 reals.

The document was certified as a true copy of the original by Willem van Zijll.

On 27 April 1683, a record from Banda listed the following goods and their weights:

• 10290 catti of mace at 5¾ per 48909½
• 8506 middle nuts for 49593¾
• 8625 nutmegs for 27421 catti from Banda

The total cost, including duties, was ƒ9319:15:11.

A copy of a letter from u Ed=le h:r aboard the ship Macassar, dated 18 February 1683, was received via Amboina and Soucaboya. The letter reported that on 26 December 1682, s' comp=s forces, blessed by God, won a victory over all the forts and strongholds of the old King of Bantam, both along the coast and inland.

Following orders, a general day of thanksgiving was held on 6 April 1683 across Banda to celebrate this victory, ending with a fireworks display in the evening.

Upon receiving the letter, orders were given to buy as much sago and matoke as possible. Free people with available boats were encouraged to assist. Some were sent immediately to secure supplies and avoid future shortages.

In April 1683, money was issued to the garrison in place of rice. However, there were doubts whether the soldiers would share this grain with the free people due to the limited supply.

On 348, it was agreed to complete the work together. The interruption of this work is the reason why things are now turning out differently, and again, the decision regarding the Macassars is due to the same interruption. However, the most difficult part must come first.

As Your Excellencies expressed in the spring letter, the situation will likely resolve itself once the war with Macassar ends successfully. The Ceram issue will then likely resolve on its own, as it is clear that the troublemakers were encouraged in their treachery by the Macassars. Meanwhile, the destruction of Goram will make the surrounding islands cautious, prompting them to consider what awaits them if they choose the same path. The enemies have already received a moderate punishment, but this does not mean our separate and divided transport to the corner of Ceram should be blamed for their actions. If they do not submit, we will not tolerate it.

Our resolution is to sail back there at the end of the coming month with the power of the corcorren and some soldiers who are coming to us from Timor, and to cause them as much damage as possible. If they attempt to fortify themselves in the lowlands where they are now, it will be our task to attack them. Against their retreats into the forest, we plan to ambush them with a large group of Alforesen, which the Radjae of Salouw, Soumite, and Tommelieuw, who are here, have promised to contribute. Additionally, staying near Keffings is advantageous against the respective rebels because of the nearby sago forests. Most of the breadfruit trees are close to the beach between Keffinch and the

On 260, a ship was built, which was mostly completed by the new year. The reason for the early and inconvenient return of the noble lords with a fleet from Ceram was concern that the enemy, specifically those from Macassar, would arrive too soon. The enemy had either occupied the favorable locations or incited strong disobedience against them in that region, as later experience confirmed. They were not too early, as it turned out that two of the three leaders, namely Ouwas and Mationo, had gone to Macassar to seek assistance, leaving Sinoos, the most necessary one, at Ceram Laut, where he stayed until the arrival of Captain Outhoorn. Due to the laziness of the crew of the ship Coninck van Poley, and since the coast of Hitoe was not manned with more soldiers as per the noble command, they also sent the ship Chialoup Garnael with 25 soldiers to Goelegoelj. Later, upon hearing of the good success there, they had no doubt that this year their rooster would be near Ceram and would appear in that region with a Macassar vessel, without them needing to commit to it. The peace at Amboina moved the Orangcaiens to willingly agree to the stay of their fleets at Goelegoelj, provided that the E. Company would help them with some sago if it was a good trade. Since no bad news was brought by the ship Angelier from Macassar, they feared a severe attack from the west. Therefore, Captain Lauwrens Kelder was also sent to the east coast of Ceram with the yacht Ditoe, the ships Sillida and Spreeuw, and enough soldiers to bring the total number of soldiers, including those already at Goelegoelj, to 150. Captain Kelder was ordered to station the yacht Hitoe, due to its clumsiness, somewhere on land on watch, and to use the galley Ens and the four ships to cruise upon the arrival of the Macassar people, depending on the situation there. While this was happening, it was decided that Captain Outhoorn, with three fleets, would return due to favorable weather.

From Macassar on 5 June 1744, it was reported that the residency at Tjinrana was conquered with God's grace. Trusting the promises of Radja Moedas, preparations for a field campaign began quickly. However, due to local delays, progress was hindered. By the beginning of February, only about half of the workforce, reduced by a third, arrived at the destination. Soon after, they engaged with the enemy, who attacked bravely. The enemy was defeated, and all their fortifications were captured. During this, a fatal uprising by the Chinese occurred, causing chaos among the troops, locals, and the enemy. This was overcome with good spirits and divine help.

The camp, named Amsterdam, was held for several days until everything was ready again. The loyalty and dedication of the common people were noted. Rations had been distributed 14 days earlier in the hope that supplies would arrive, but the strong current of the Tjinrana river prevented this. Even with great effort, the smallest vessel could only advance 8 miles in 20 days. The rations ran out, leading to hunger and distress. For 5 whole days, the army had no food. The officer and the lowest ranks suffered equally, as everything had been shared. Yet, no one complained about the lack of food. Some small money was distributed to each company from personal funds, allowing them to buy a little rice and sago from the locals. They preferred to endure this silently rather than complain. This was an unprecedented example. Relief arrived the next day, ending the hunger.

On 3 August 1683, from Banda, it was reported with joy that the enemies had been driven out and defeated by God's will and the Company's military power. All the forts and strongholds of the old king were captured, forcing him to humble himself. For this, the almighty was thanked across all the Indies provinces, with a general day of thanksgiving and evening celebrations, including the firing of cannons. Efforts were immediately made to secure sagu, as much as possible, continuing daily with local traders to send it from Ceram. Previously, sagu was bought from them at 5 akte Rijksdaalders per 1000. Since the chief merchant Jeremias van Vliet went to Keffing to retrieve two Bouton vessels from the shore, no Keffing vessels had arrived, as they were reportedly afraid of being intercepted. The vessels that had been nearby had sailed to Damme, namely the yacht Javaanse Bode and the shallop Rossingijn for military transport. The fluyt Nederkorst had brought only 2.16 loads from Java. Before the ships' arrival, around 100 loads of rice from Amboina had been stored in the Company's warehouse. With the Javaanse Bode, 22 loads of rice were received, and with the ship Macassar, 35,000 bundles of rice from Macassar were obtained. Efforts would continue to support the people as much as possible.
