Juno and the Company’s ship Hinloopen, the lighters Haas and Vos, 
and the sloop Volle Maan. The Ondernemer, which had been 
despatched from here to the south on the 22nd instant, was also 
with them. 
JuNE 1.—The Utrecht, Goes, Wassenaar, Monikkendam, and Juno, 
with the cutter Batavier, and the lighters Haas and Vos, sailed to 
Telok Katapan at daybreak. 
JuNE 5.—Harly in the morning the fleet at Telok Katapan 
began to bombard the enemy’s ships lying near the shore, and 
their fortifications, and continued this until midday. Also a 
detachment was sent from this to Oedjong Pasir and Semabok 
under command of four European Officers, consisting of two Non- 
commissioned Officers, a drummer and twenty-four Huropean 
soldiers ; together with four Officers, sixteen subordinate Officers, 
and five hundred Malay soldiers, and one extra vuurwerker, three 
bombardiers, three kanonniers, and forty musketeers, with one 24- 
pounder cannon, two six-pounders, one twelve-pounder, two three- 
pounders, a howitzerand a katskop each of 4-inch. This detachment 
having approached sufficiently close to the enemy’s batteries 
began the attack at the same time both on the road to Semabok 
and at Oedjong Pasir; the enemy, howeyer, offered everywhere 
a skilful resistance, and the fight became general, and lasted 
until four o’clock in the afternoon, when our side had to cease and 
turn back, on account of the fatigue of the men. Besides, the 
evening was approaching, and the marshy ground prevented 
our men from getting close enough to the enemy’s stockade to 
be able to storm it. 
Several shells and grenades were thrown inside and exploded, 
and twice it was observed that a blaze sprung up, which, however, 
was soon extinguished. The loss on the enemy’s side could not be 
ascertained ; ours was four killed and thirteen wounded 
JunE 6.—Under command of a Huropean Officer a detachment 
of three hundred and five Malay soldiers was again sent to Oedjong 
Pasir, with three bombardiers, two kanonniers, and fourteen 
musketeers, and two cannon of 6lb. and 8lb. anda 4-inch 
katskop: but the marshy ground again prevented them from 
getting near enough the enemy’s intrenchments to fire with good 
effect, so after annoying them a short time they retired. 
June 8.—In the Company’s armed ship Diamant were despatch-
