M. The mandarins went away in chairs. M. De Benac had prepared a grand Chinese dinner for them ; but they ex- cused themselves, saying they must be first to offer hospitality. In fact, they were in the habit of treating the English insolently, but did not attempt it with our directors, as they saw it would be in vain. The clerks remained till night, inspecting other cases of glass and bales of cloth. They came next day to complete their work. They measured the cloth, and counted the glass, arti...cle by article, as was done the day before.
The 22nd, M. Poullesel went to Macao to buy a vessel which M. De Benac wished to send 132 THE JOURNAL OF THE FIRST home. They had advanced four hundred taels on this account, but lost the money by the failure of the contract.
The 30th, the brandy was lodged from on board in the warehouses of the Company.
The 6th of January, 1669, the Hoppo went to Macao to take tiie duties from the Manilla ships, Chinese, Portuguese, American, and English. The last go from Madras to Manilla under the Portuguese flags, and come after- wards to Macao before returning to the coast of Coromandel to exchange their silver for gold.
