The SAMPSON is towed up the Hooghly river to Cheteynotey. During their stay the chief factor Jobe Charnock dies, which delays their departure. A crewman on the SAMPSON, the son of a neighbour of Barlow, falls overboard and is drowned. Barlow explains the war manoeuvres between the Dutch and the French, including the capture of Pula-Cherry by the Dutch. Good food is cheap at Cheteynotey, but the extremes of weather makes Englishmen ill. Sir John Goulesbury dies. He was unpopular, but Barlow is given a mourning scarf after his death.
