On November 14, 1639, several important decisions were made about ships and military preparations. Ships were ordered to be loaded with sugar, including the ships White Lion, Prince Tertoolen, Lamb Hendrick, Unity, Hope, and others. The colonel was instructed to keep his garrisons ready, and Major Idiccard had to prepare his company. Sick troops were to be sent to Camarica.
Albert Gerritsz was ordered to speed up transport of supplies to Cape Francisco. Colonel Ionckers had to alert the Brazilians to be ready to move when ordered. Director Albertj was to secure supplies in Paraiba, while Commander Ernst van Bare and Commander P. van Bijler at Rio were told to stay alert.
The White Lion was ordered to keep provisions including:
Two ships arrived: the Stockfish from Amsterdam (sailed July 26) and the Gout Kas from Groningen. The Gout Kas had been in a battle with three Turkish ships, losing its captain and 9 crew members.
Jacob Onziel and Harman Vlinck were appointed as commissioners of the private goods warehouse. The Sijara yacht was to be sent with letters to Commander Willem Corneliszoon, equipped with 4 guns and 12 muskets.
Francisco de Barros Reque, a prisoner from Rio Francisco, was to be sent to the West Indies on the next ship because of suspicious behavior and claims about his service to the king.
