the Ritthem and the Papenburg on the coast. The mast of the Buis was
provisionally repaired, the foremast of the Valkenisse strengthened and 30
healthy sailors embarked. The latter ship lost 135 men while sailing towards
the Cape. By lacking enough sailors were 18
condemned of which the banishment nearly was finished, placed on board of the
Krooswijk and the Noordwaddinxveen. It was found that 20% of the 735 lb ivory on board of the
Magdalena was lacking and 325 of the 412 lb on board of the Leiden.
