are of Mr. Zimers, the Surgeon-General.
Governor Wanjon did me and Lt. Hayward the honour of lodging and
entertaining us in his own house. Mr. Corner, the second Lieutenant and
Mr. Bentham, the Purser, were received in the house of Mr. Fruy, the
Lieutenant-Governor. Lt. Larkin and Mr. Passmore were taken into the
house of Mr. Brouberg, the Captain-Lieutenant of the Company ship, and
Mr. Hamilton, the surgeon, was accommodated in the house of Mr. Zimers,
the Surgeon-General, and Governor Wanjon did everything in his power to
supply our present wants, or that would contribute to the
re-establishment of our health and strength and even to our amusement,
and this benevolent example was followed by Mr. Fruy, the
Lieutenant-Governor and the other gentlemen of the place. Two months'
provision was provided for the ship's company and put on board the
_Remberg_ [_Rembang_], a Dutch East India Company ship, and we embarked
on board the same ship for Batavia on the 6th October, 1791.[80-1]

Before we sailed Governor Wanjon delivered to me eight men, one woman and
two children who came to Coopang in June last in a six-oared cutter. They
are supposed to be late deserters from the colony at Port Jackson. Food
bills were given on the different departments of the Navy for the
provisions and other necessaries we were supplied with at Coopang and
also for the maintenance and cloathing of the convicts. I sold one of the
yawls to the Lieutenant-Governor and the longboat and the other yawl to
the Commander of the _Remberg_, the ship in which we embarked. The latter
was not to be delivered up until I left Batavia, and I shall make myself
accountable to the Commissioners of His Majesty's Navy for the amount. As
I could take no more boats with me and the pinnace being out of repair, I
left her with the Governor Wanjon with permission to do with her what he
thought proper.

We stopped at Samarang, being an island of Java, where we had the good
fortune to be joined by our tender that had separated from us off the
island of Oattoah. She had all her people on board except one man, whom
they had buried a few days before. She had been stopped at Java on
suspicion, and they were going to send her to Batavia. Mr. Overstratin,
the Governor of the place, delivered her up to me. The tender had
contracted a small debt for provisions &c. at Java, which I shall
discharge. She fell in to the Westward of Annamooka, the island I had
appointed to rendezvous on,
