and Portingalls armed secretly in the said barkes, which matter was
revealed by 3 Chinas which fled out of the said junk to Langasaque and

halfe way, hoping by this meanes to dispach busynes theare, and so to
retorne; the Duch haveing dispached theirs before he went from Miaco.
And they thought it fitt to retorne back all 3 barks, because they
knew not how long it wold be before they retorned. Also they both writ
me that pack no. 116 is wanting in the cargezon, with 5 bambows black
paynting and 5 small pec. wax.
Also our host of Sackay came to Firando and brought me a present of a

me Gonrock Dono drivs hym of with delaies, and as yet hath not sett the
men at liberty, but rather that the Portingals have put Jno. de Lievana

com to speake with them.
_October 9._--We searched our warehouse for pack no. 116, but canot
find it; and examening over packing bill and wast book, find that the
said pack with the wax and 5 bambows painting were all sent along in
the great bark of Sangero Samma; soe it must rest upon the master, the
purcer, and upon Jno. Pheby to answer for those matters.
Ed. Sayer retorned from Langasaque and brought answer from Gonrock Dono
that he had donne what possibly he could, but could not get the 2 men
set at liberty. So I went and tould the king thereof, and tould hym I
ment to send away a bark in all hast with letters to Capt. Adames to
adviz the Emperour thereof, desiring to have his Highnes letters of
favor of the matter, which he promised me. So I made ready the bark
