June 30 (Gonguach 21).—I went abord the shipps, where, after my arivall, there fell debate ashore betwixt English and Duch marrenars. Soe one Hollander was slane and divers others hurt, both English and Duch, espetially 2 Englishmen. So the admerell called a councell, where it was determined to seek out the murtherers or strife makers on both partes, and to punish them with death or otherwais, according to desert. Alsoe it was ordayned to begyn to unlade our shipps on Munday, Mr. Cockram to be at Hollandes house to take acco. of all landed, and Mr. Balke at English howse, to like effect; and duble lock to be put on dores till the goodes be vallued and parted.
July 1 (Gonguach 22).—Notwithstanding the orders taken by councell that nether English nor Hollander should goe ashore with weopens, to prevent quarreling, yet the Hollanders flocked on shore with swordes and cattans and sett upon our unarmed men and slew one and hurt divers others; and, as it is said, are alowed and sett one per Comander Jonson, vizadmerall.
