Summary (also from the previous page)

In May, after careful coordination with the administrator of Fluytbon, several vessels arrived. The frigate 'Lucky Hour' arrived on the 11th, the Bon on the 17th, and cargo from Gent arrived on the 30th. The shipments included:

  • 3 slaves (as gifts)
  • 1 mast timber from Macassar (unvalued)
  • 87 loads of green cadjang (tadjang), costing 4,524 guilders
  • 4,300 pieces of sappanwood worth 10,750 guilders at Bima

The Bima resident Harmanus Hassing had allowed the ship Bon to depart early with the green cadjang because he had received five letters from Dompo indicating that the king would only deliver 4,000 pieces, which he thought would be enough for the ship to carry. However, he later discovered that the supply was actually 1,000 picols larger, and the Gent, due to damage to its stern, could only carry 4,300 picols. This poor planning meant that some cargo had to be left behind, as the resident had not first given the ship Bon a full load of the available sappanwood.
