The 23rd [of May 1633] the ship Brouwershaven returns hither from Bima, and brings [on 24 January 1633] its accompanying cargo back unused, since no trade has been possible to carry out there or in the areas around there, because on their arrival all the rice was out and all the negrijs of Bima were burnt, exterminated and destroyed and the whole land was ravaged by the Makassarese armada, the strength of which was about 400 ships and several thousand men who were present in Bima, hurriedly sent there by the King of Makassar in order to reinstate the King of Bima, his brother-in-law, in his land, as he had been expelled by his subjects (who rebelled against him) and brought to the island Gounong Apij, situated close to Bijma.

At the arrival of the said armada the rebellious inhabitants of Bima all fled to the mountains, without having … come back when the ship Brouwershaven departed from there; he assured, however, that after the departing of the Makassarese who were constantly around them, he did not dare display the missive of Mr. General or permit any trade without the license of the King of Makassar (under whom he and the whole Island of Cumbawa were subjected).
