At my retorne from abord Duch shipp, word was brought me that Taccamon Dono said our junk should not goe out for Syam except I sufferd each offecer to carry 2 passingers, according to the custom of the cuntrey. Also others said that our junk was falne into an extreame leake. And the therd news was that Langasaque was set on fyre. For the two first, of the wordes of Taccamon Dono and junkes leake, I think it rather the knavery of the unruly mareners, whoe wish it might be soe, then otherwaies.
December 27.—I sent abord junk to look out about leake; and it is nothing but puting abord ballast hath brought her deeper, and som 6 inches water encreased in 16 howres.
I rec. a letter from Jor. Durois, dated in Langasaque, 2th January, new stile, with 8 oreng trees, cost all 6 taies.

All the which soms of 1780 taies I delivered at receapte to Mr. Jno. Osterwick.
And I rec. per Capt. Adames these letters following:—
1 from Tozayemon Dono of Sakay.
