peace, approached in a friendly manner, saying that they had mistaken
the Dutchmen for Spaniards.  They at once accompanied the seamen on
board, and, being well treated, undertook to bring off provisions, which
promise they fulfilled.

Having sighted Ternate and Tidore, the _Unity_ anchored, on the evening
of the 17th, off the former island.  Here Captain Schouten with Le Maire
went on shore, and were kindly entertained by the King of Amboyna and
the admiral and general of the station.

At this place the pinnaces and the stores of the unfortunate _Horn_ were
sold for one thousand three hundred and fifty reals, with which Captain
Schouten obtained some provisions.  On the 28th he anchored at Batavia,
then called Jacutra.  Here John Paterson Koen, President of the Dutch
East India Company, arrived on the 31st of October; but instead of the
friendly reception the voyagers expected he would offer, to their bitter
grief he the next day sequestered the _Unity_ and her cargo, declaring
that she was forfeited to the East India Company for illegally sailing
within the bounds of their charter.

In vain Le Maire protested against this arbitrary proceeding, and
declared that the seizure was unlawful, as they had not offended against
the letter nor intention of the company's charter, since they had not
come to India by either of the forbidden passages,--the Straits of
Magellan or the Cape of Good Hope,--but by a passage they themselves had
discovered, and which must be extremely advantageous to the commerce of
their own countrymen and to the trading world.

Finding, however, all his efforts vain, he and Captain Schouten, with
some of their people, embarked on board the _Amsterdam_ on the 14th of
December, 1616, and others on board the _Zealand_, while the rest
entered the service of the company.  On the 31st of the same month poor
Jacques Le Maire died, chiefly of grief and vexation at the failure of
the enterprise, which had been so successful until the arrest of the
ship and cargo.  He had kept a journal with great care during the
voyage, and he left an earnest request that it should be published,

 board, and, being well treated, undertake to bring off provisions, which 
 predict they fulfilled.

 that she was forfeit to the East India Company for illegally sailing

 Finding, however, all his attempt vain, he and Captain Schouten, with 
 some of their people, embarked on circuit board the _ Amsterdam _ on the fourteenth of 
 December, 1616, and others on circuit board the _ Zealand _, while the rest 
 entered the avail of the ship's company.   On the 31st of the same month hapless
