The WENTWORTH encounters mainly Dutch ships on its voyage to Batavia. During her stay there some criminals are executed, including Chinese, Javanese natives and Dutchmen.

Some of the livestock on board are drowned during bad weather in the Channel. On arrival at the Cape of Good Hope they find only Dutch ships. At Batavia the Dutch authorities are offended because the LONDON FRIGATE, which called in there recently, bought spice from Dutch ships against orders. During the WENTWORTH's visit some criminals are executed, including Chinese, Javanese natives and Dutchmen.
