As soon as the Japanese had taken the necessaryprecautions to prevent the vessel either from leaving the spot where shehad first anchored, or from sending a boat on shore, a handsome bargecame alongside, from which two Bonjoses, dressed in silk, and each ar...medwith two sabres, stepped on board: they were accompanied by aninterpreter who spoke a little broken Dutch. They saluted the captainpolitely, inquiring the object of his visit, and whether he was notaware that the coast of Japan was not accessible under pain of death?The captain acknowledged himself aware of the prohibition, but statedthat the emergency of the case had left him no choice: the Bonjosesthereupon searched the vessel, and having satisfied themselves that shewas really destitute of provisions and water, they took leave of thecaptain with the same civility they had shown him on their arrival.
