E Fort of Batavia has four fairBaftions, and is
well built but upon an ill Foundation, thofe Baftions
being plainly obferv’d to fink, and requiring Repa
ration from time to time. For the perfefting of which Work
the Hollanders wanted Slaves: whereupon a Confiiltation
was had where to get Slaves. To which Anfwer was made
that there was no better place than the PrinceVlflands.
Which being concluded, the General of Batavia difpatch'd
away three the biggell Ships belonging to Batavia. Thele
Ships vifited every one of thefe Iflands, feigning that they
came from Holland and wanted Refrefhment. So foon as
the Inhabitants dilcover'd the VeflTelsj they flock'd .to the
Shoar Men, Women, and Children, as they wont to do,
bringing along with them the beft of their Provifion, as Geo
Wine, Nuts, and other Fruits of the growth of the Iflands.
Happy were they that could firfl: get aboard,for they always
get more by the Mariners and Souldiers, than by thole that
go aflioar to trade. Now fo foon as they were aflhoar, they
gave them Strong Water to drink till they were drunk,* and
when the Mailers of the Ships law them in that condition,
they immediately fent a good number of their men well ar
med aflhoar, who bound them that were upon the ^and to
truck for their goods, and carried them away to their Ships,
killing all thofle that made any refiftance. But they did them
little lervice • for finding themfelves fo inhumanly us'd as
the Hollanders ufe their Slaves, they took a refolution to eat
nothing, and to ftarve themfelves to death, rather than to be
forc'd to labour and be beaten every day»
