Summary (also from the next page)

In Mallabaer on October 6, 1739, 26 men were still present. Some crew members deserted, including the boatswain and gunner's mate, along with sailors Gerrit Blaauw, Jacob Pietersz Bloem, and Wolf, plus about 10 people from the yacht whose names were not recorded. When asked whether they joined the king voluntarily or were forced, the gunner's mate Josep Provencaal, who was a good gunner, was called and asked if he would serve. When he refused, two loaded muskets were pointed at his chest, threatening to shoot him if he would not serve. Out of fear of being killed, he then agreed to serve.
