From New Guinea to Batavia
1770 =ally here, they are likewise emply'd in carrying cattle grain etc. to Timor & when not wanted they are hauld ashore into houses or shacks built on purpose, As I have mentioned slaves, it is necessary to observe that all the great men have slaves which are the native of the islands they can dispose of them one to another but cannot sell them to go out of the island. the price of a slave is a goof large fatt hog , horse etc. I have before mentioned that many of the people can speak Portuguese but hardly anyone Dutch from this it is probable that this island was formally under the jurisdiction of the Portuguese. tho' the Dutch Govern.r never own'd as much but said that the Dutch had traded here these hundred years past.
