The SAMPSON calls at Kedgeree, where they are required by the East India Company to hinder the trade of an English interloper ship. They set sail for Madras, carrying 180 bales of 'nillas' fabric, and at Madras take on board a cargo of saltpetre, fabrics and other goods.

The SAMPSON calls at Kedgeree, where an English interloper ship, the SEAMORE, has recently arrived. They are required to hinder this ship's trade, but Barlow reflects on the unreasonableness of the East India Company's orders. After a long stay in Bengal the SAMPSON sets sail for Madras, carrying 180 bales of 'nillas' fabric. There they take on board a cargo of saltpetre, fabrics, pepper, red wood and other goods.
