Observations of Captaine Iohn Saris, of occurrents which happened in the
East-Indies during his abode at Bantam, from October 1605, till October
1609...
The eighteenth [November 1605] [*] heere [**] departed a small Pinnasse
of the _Flemmings_, for the discovery of the Land called Nova Guinea
which, as it is said, affordeth great store of Gold...
[* Old style: therefore November 28, 1605.]
[** Bantam.]
The fifteenth [*] of June [1606] heere [**] arrived _Nockhoda_ [***]
_Tingall_, a Cling-man from _Banda_, in a _Java_ juncke...

[** Bantam.]
[*** Nachoda or Anachoda: a skipper.]
He told me that the _Flemmings_ Pinasse which went upon discovery for
_Nova Ginny_, was returned to Banda, having found the Iland: but in
sending their men on shoare to intreate of Trade, there were nine of them
killed by the Heathens, which are man-eaters; So they were constrained to
returne, finding no good to be done there.
