The Vaderland Getrouw, Stad Leiden and Linschoten transported 5265, 10.855 and 9307 lb pepper. The Balinese pirate Tunton, who killed in 1728 14 so-called mud-Javanese returning homeward, was taken prisoner. Pangeran Radja Ningrat protected him. After a seriously request of the Company Tunton was killed and his body shown in public outside Speelwijk. The Zwerver, Bode and Snip were patrolling for pirates and pepper smugglers near the borders of the Batavian and Bantam islands. The frigates Spieringshoek and Ridderkerk were patrolling in the Lampongs with the same purpose and observing the British Chinaships. The master of the galliot Snip, Jan de Vries, was by the Javanese Alim killed, when he wanted to inspect the vessel of Alims’ father. Because it was thought that Alim was killed in the fight no farther action followed. Off the Lampongs were some Minangkabause, Johorse and Maleysian pirates, armed with swivels and other weapons, discovered. Together with the king were some vessels fitted out. The Company wasn’t able to fit out a small light ship and made excuses to the king for this. The king was asked to enlarge his own navy. The pirates were soon gone.
