Errantry , a. yaponefi Boy that lerv’d the Prefident, heard all the dif-
eourfe without being obferv d by his Mailer. Some. Months after
the Prefident had beaten tins Boy , which he, as all the are
ot a fiery and vindicative Nature, relolving to revenge, went tothe
Governour of Nangifaqui , and repeated to him the whole Difcourfe
between h.s Mailer and the Admiral. The Governour, finding it to
be a bulinefs ot importance, Ibnds advice thereof to the Court & The
Emperour was lo enrag’d at the injury and affront put upon him that
he commanded the Governour to Hop the Admiral and his Train and to
lend him with a good Guard to Teddo , and not to let any Ship enter the
Harbour, ’till he had had a full Examination of the matter
This Order was not fo fecret, but that the Prefidents Friends had
notice thereof, who prefently gave him intelligence of it fofeafonably
that the Admiral was fent away before the Order came to the Governour
Eight days after, three Holland Veffels arriv’d at Kifma, to whom the
Governour fentexprefs command to keep out at Sea, and not to come
adiore. The Prefident feigning to be lurpriz’d at this Prohibition, went
to the Governour to know the reafon, who gave him this Anfwer, The
Emperour, laid he, is acquainted with your tricks, you fhallhave no
more kindnefs from me- I have fent to Court to give notice of the
arrival of your three Ships, and I fhali follow my Orders when they
come. Upon this the Prefident made no doubt but the Admiral’s ftory
was difeover’d 5 and recolle&ing with himfelf that he had beaten his
Japonefe Boy, and that he was run away from him, he foori conje&ur’d
at the Author of all the mifehief. In fhort, the Governour receives his
Orders, the Tenour whereof was, That he fhould fend away the three
Veffels, without permitting them to land either Men or Goods* and
that he fhould tell the Prefident, That the Emperour was fatisfi’d that
the Admiral was a Cheat and a Spy, whom he intended to punifli
feverely*, and therefore, if he did not fend for him tojxpon bythefirfl
opportunity of the Winds, he would put to Death all thole of his
Nation, and fling their Goods into the Sea*
Upon the return of three Ships to Batavia , there was no fmall burly
burly in the Ifland • for by them they underftood the danger that their
Country-men were in, if they did not fend back the Admiral* There
upon an extraordinary Council was call’d , to deliberate upon an affair
of fo great importance, who were all of one mind, that the Admi
ral was to be fent back, and that it was better for one tofuffer, then a
whole Nation.
The Admiral being advertiz’d of this their refoluti®n, publickly pro-
tefted againft the violence and injuffice they were about to do him
telling them, that he was born a Subject of the Republick of Holland,
who had only the Power of his life and death; that in their Service, he
would expofe his life to a thoufand hazards, but that he was not oblig’d

The Minifters took his part, and made it a cafe in Religion. The
common people mutiny J d againfl: the General, and the Tumult
grew to that heat, that the Sea-men were fent for from aboard their
Ships to difperfe the multitude. At length, by the interpofition of
aMinifter , the bufinefs was brought to a conclufion ; who perfwaded
