On the 29th of December, 1696, the vessels under the command of DeVlaming lay at anchor between Rottnest Island and the mainland ofAustralia. The island was searched for wreckage with little result. Onepiece of timber was found which, it was conjectured, might have be...endeck timber, and a plank was found, three feet long and one span broad. The nails in the wreckage were very rusty. The search for shipwreckedsailors on the adjacent mainland was unsuccessful. On the 20th and onthe 31st of December, and on the 1st of January, 1697, De Vlaming notesin his journal that odoriferous wood was found on the mainland. Portionsof it were subsequently submitted to the Council of the Dutch EastIndies at Batavia, and from these portions an essential oil was obtainedby distillation.
