Summary (also from the previous page)

On June 26, 1728, in Macassar, a report describes encounters with pirates. Earlier, three Buginese pirate ships belonging to the Prince of Bonij Pangawa had stolen a vessel. After continuing the journey, they found a Buginese boat in the Callent Jussoe river. Its leader, Tosoleeng, had a pass for 13 crew members to search for sea cucumbers around the islands. Due to uncertainty about whether this meant the islands of Macassar or Bonton, and because the pass bore the Governor's signature, they did not arrest him. Tosoleeng was known to be registered in the Company's passport book and had sold or given four metal guns to the Raja of that settlement.

Later, on the island of Wantjes, they found two more Buginese boats. Around these four islands, they encountered about 10 boats, mostly Buginese, loaded with rice and paddy. The crews claimed the Governor had approved their goods. Local settlements refused to seize them, claiming they had no orders from their King to do so. A letter was sent to the Governor and council in Bouton.

The report was signed by Casper Cumper on April 18, 1726 at Wantjes island, Bouton, and verified by W.G. Tenpezel, secretary of Bouton.
