Summary (also from the previous page)

On 14 April 1777, several expenses were reported from Gresik. First, costs were listed for the pilot boat of Gresik. Second, expenses of 560 guilders and 2 stuivers were reported by resident Isaac Cornelis Domis for repairs to the pilot boat to fix its problems and supply it properly. Third, 3,638 rijksdaalders and 7 stuivers were spent between 24 August and 23 December of the previous year on the hospital in Gresik, according to a specification by Lieutenant Engineer Fredrik Sustmann. The hospital had been renovated and expanded. A report by Head Administrator van Panhuis and Captain Commander van Ardenne Poltooijde was mentioned. According to bookkeeper van Santen, the total cost of the hospital was 4,717 rijksdaalders and 36 stuivers, which was 74 rijksdaalders and 46 stuivers more than originally calculated. The extra costs were due to:
  • Adding more rooms to the hospital and to the doctor's cramped living quarters
  • Laying stone fire-proof floors in all upper rooms
  • Renovating the city gate in front of the hospital
  • Painting and tarring all the buildings
These items had not been included in the original calculation. Permission was requested to approve this extra spending. Fifth, losses were reported from the patrol boat Petronella, which sailed in the eastern corner between Banyuwangi and Surabaya in January and February. During bad weather, the boat lost an iron anchor, 40 bundles of local rope, and a topsail. A foresail was also used to repair other sails. Declarations were included as proof. Finally, a cross-shaped boat was lost on the journey from Ketapang to Banyuwangi. The boat capsized and all people on board died except one native person who survived by swimming. The lost goods included:
  • 2 iron cannons of 1 pound with their stands and lead weights
  • 1 cannon spoon of 1 pound
  • 1 iron pig's tail of 1 pound
  • 1 fuse wiper and setter of 1 pound
  • 1 copper loading needle
  • 1 steel cannon drill
  • 2 powder horns
  • 50 pounds of gunpowder
  • 50 round shot of 1 pound
