Also a frend of Capt. Adames tould hym that three daies past arived an emptie junck at Langasaque, which came from Cagallon in the Phillippinas, and is one of the Japan junckes which we thought was lost with ours which Water Carwarden was in, and came out of Cochinchina 7 daies before our junck could be ready to departe, and was driven on the cost of Cord (sic) per stormy wether, and put among the ilands Liqueas, yet could not recover port in any of them; yet after recovered the iland of Lucan and put into the roade of Cagallan, having first lost their mastes and throwne all their goods overbord, being glad to escape with life; and from thence are now retorned with the emptie junck, but know nothing of what is becom of ours.
Also this day we put away Fachman, our scullion, and Mr. Nealson paid hym to cleare his accompt.
And I sent Capt. Adames to Cochi, viz.,
| ma. | con. | |
| 110 straw bags, cost | 2 | 8 |
| 50 poles, cost | 1 | 5 |
| ———— | ||
| 4 | 3 | |

Also I sent hym 3 loves of bread, and wrot hym the news of that junk which was reported to hym came from Cagallion is untrew, for it is a junk belo[ng]ing to the China Capt. brother, and came not from Cochinchina last yeare; so that is a lye.
And we entertayned a new skullion named Sayemond at one tay per month.
August 2.—I gave Matinga 6 taies small plate to buy rise; and I had 14 onces black silk of China Capt., cost 2 taies per catty.
I had much adowe with Zanzabars desemvery,[92] who sent me word 3 or 4 tymes they would break my jurebassos boanes, yf he came to his owne howse; but, as before, soe still I retorned them answer they should take heed how they medled with any servant I had. And at night my jurebasso being desirous to goe to his howse, I gave hym leave; where he found Jno. Devins entertaynment[93]; for Zanzabers wives brother, with other consortes, set upon hym in the streete, and, had he not by good fortune gotten into a howse, they had slayne him. And about midnight, being garded per a gentlemans servant, my frend came home againe, shaking every joint of hym.
August 3.—The China Capt. being ready to goe for Goto, I lent hym our boate and wastclothes, and delivered hym back 120 Rs. of 8, which was the rest of the 200 Rs. 8 lent hym before and retorned, the other being delivered hym after at his going to Langasaque, viz., 80 Rs. of 8. Also I paid hym 38 mas in Rs. of 8 for 1 cattie silk at 20 mas, and 3 peces red China taffetie at 18 mas, is 4¾ Rs. 8.
And tuching the force used against my jurebasso the other night, I thought good, with the advice of the rest, to make it knowne unto the cheefe justice in the kinges abcence, Mr. Wickham accompanying me. They all tould me I had greate reason in what I did, and that they would take order that this bongew should not offer my jurebasso any wronge; the which I certefied Capt. Adames of in good termes by a letter sent hym to Cochi, where I heard he la sick. But he retorned me a very harsh answer, as all the rest of our cuntremen can witnesse which saw it. He shewed hym selfe a fermer frend to Zanzaber and his consortes then to me and the rest of his contremen.
