I left the governor, Mr.
Van Este, at the point of death. To this gentleman our most grateful thanks are
due, for the humane and friendly treatment that we have received from him. His
ill state of health only prevented him from showing us more particular marks of
attention. Unhappily, it is to his memory only that I now pay this tribute. It
was a fortunate circumstance for us, that Mr. Wanjon, the next in place to the
governor, was equally humane and ready to relieve us. His attention was
unremitting, and, when there was a doubt about supplying me with money, on
government account, to enable me to purchase a vessel, he cheerfully took it
upon himself; without which, it was evident, I should have been too late at
Batavia to have sailed for Europe with the October fleet. I can only return
such services by ever retaining a grateful remembrance of them.
