Night time and imagining in them to be the chiefest Treasure permitted them to load the other small one and Sloop there remaining putting the King upon hastening our people away with all speed imaginable seizing all the Provisions in the Factory that they were forced to live the day before they left the Shore upon the Charity of the Chiness And on the 12th of April arrived here the Tywan Frigat vvith all our People from Bantam except one Factor who as if by mistake stayed behind to have an Eye to their Actions At their departure they sealed up all the Companies Ware-houses leaving a Register of their Effects and Factory being as near as vve could guess about the value of 22000 Royals of Eight vvith one of the Dutch Commissioners to be delivered the Major being here arrived the General desired us to send back in their Ships three or four Factors to take care of the Shipping of our Goods which was done accordingly but in so confus'd a manner as what the Dutch pleased to restore us we can only call ours So ended the Honourable Companies antient Factory of Bantam where the English have been settled and have had a constant Trade about this 70 years I cannot say they departed thence like Hannibal out of Africk accusing both Gods and Men with imprecations on themselves for any omissions of their own but truly did severely repine at the Kings ingratitude to as I may call us the Nurses and Fathers of his Country the English being by his Father and all the Inhabitants generally so acknowledged and not undeservedly having by their Trade enrich'd it and brought it to what it was And so great was our rage against the Dutch as had our power been consonant to our will I am confident should have treated them much worse than the Javas Since our departure they have had some Skirmishes with the Old Kings people with the loss thereby and Sickness as is reported 7 or 800 White Men as yet have not been able to proceed further than the Fort and Town of Bantam But their Ships being now arrived from Europe with a supply of near 1000 fresh Souldiers 't is reported they design speedily to March for Tertiassa the Residence of the Old King about 20 Miles distant from Bantam What their success will be time will shew By Sea the Old Kings Forces has done them several Damages taken 16 or 17 Sloops and small Vessels and 't is said burnt a Ship of near 800 Tons so that they are forced to send Convoys with their Fleet of small Vessels to and from the Coast of Java But leaving them to their Hostility against each other I shall proceed to a short Relation of our Treatment since our Arrival here where as I said we had liberty to hire an House But as to Matters of Trade were deferr'd Answer and that for nigh four Months the General telling us every time we came into his presence we should have Answer sometimes to morrow sometimes in few days and this they did to perplex and intreague our Affairs having Ships arrived from Europe designed for the Northward that required a speedy dispatch and till received an Answer were not permitted to bring any Goods on shore neither suffered they any of their people to go on board us so that we were forced to put Goods from one Ship to the other in order to dispatching them with so much trouble as can scarce be imagined and at last Eymay being lost sent two for Canton one for Tywan one for Tonkeene and the Oacklander making a 9 Months passage with the loss of all her Men but 7 was thereby disabled from proceeding to Canton and forced with most black Saylors to go for Surrat in Company with the Return At last comes an Answer to our several Letters and Requests that in this long Attendance we had presented to the General and Council The Contents are too tedious to recite but concluding with an Order to us our Residence here not consisting with their Interest with all possible speed to with-draw our Ships and all our people to some of our own settled Factories as Siam Surrat Persia the Coast of Cormandell Bangall or where we thought best and the Season of the year would best permit except all parts belonging to the King of Bantam who they said had for a reciprocal kindness by Contract made over all his Terretories to them stiling the Old King his Father a Rebel against him by which means there was no place left for us in these parts where we could attend the Arrival of our Europe or Northward Ships till the Company were made sensible of the loss of Bantam and had taken some Order about their Affairs in these parts This was a pretty unexpected Story indeed which made us laugh but on the wrong side of our Mouths as the Saying is The Companies Affairs and our own too highly requiring our longer stay here we were forced to give Answer to their Letter more modestly than we should otherwise have done representing the unspeakable damage will occurr to our Masters Affairs by their forcing us off humbly Requesting permission to abide here till they were acquainted in what condition their Trade in these parts was and had taken some Order thereabout to which as yet we have received no Answer and have hopes they will not urge our departure If they do we must do as well as we can we are bound to see it and to sit dovvn and repine at our Infelicities vvill not help us But the Season is novv so far spent that if so England of necessity must be our next Port unless we can find some place in the Streight of Sundy to shelter our selves In the mean time we sit idle and unable to turn a Penny the time of our abode here is so much time wholly lost For my particular could my Affairs have permitted I should have return'd to you by this Ship but having the Books of the Charge I had in Bantam to make up and my Stock all abroad that it cannot be in readiness till the latter Ship which may depart about January next when if I can be permitted I design home The last thing I have to advise you is the loss of the Johanna bound for Bangall who run ashore in the Night upon a Ridge of Rocks between the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Agullis where in 12 hours time she broke in two pieces 't was about two Miles distant from the shore where all the Men but seven arrived some in Boats some on Rafts some on the Rack of the Ship but were 21 days travelling before they arrived where the Dutch Inhabited they all came from Batavia in Dutch Ships and the Captain and some others take their passage home in this Ship The Company lost 72000 l. Sterling Treasure beside other Merchandize I fear you will think me somewhat tedious in relating these sad and tragical Stories but I was willing to give you a full Relation of all Occurrances I could wish the Subject had been more pleasant and less tragical but we must submit to the Divine Will Yours E.
