Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Darien Papers: Being a Selection of Original Letters and Official Documents Relating to the Establishment of a Colony at Darien by the Company of Scotland Trading to Africa and the Indies, 1695-1700 It is necessary that one at least be settled with, to be Captain to one of the two ships come home, who may take care to preserve all the storm, rigging, &c., hyre seamen, and do every thing necessary for preparing the said ships to sea; and its their opinion that Captain Lyon will be a fitt man, and desires warrand to settle and agree with him. We judge it absolutely necessary that a small tender be bought, English-built, not exceeding three hundred pounds sterling price, whereby the Colony may send advice to, and trade with the English Plantations, and to have and procure from abroad one Captain, and six or eight persons fitt for pilots and other uses, two Secretaries in Spanish, as also to look after Mr. Smyth´s debt, or other affairs of the Company; for doing all which, we judge it absolutely necessary that a fitt person be sent to London secretly to negotiat all thir affairs. The Directors adjourned the consideration till Tuesday. Adjourns till five in the afternoon, to meet at Maclurg´s Coffeehouse. This meeting was not kept, because of the fire that happened in the Land Mercat. Wednesday, December 8th, [1697,] by 9 o´c1ock in the morning. Present - Dougallston, William Woodrope, and Mr. Robert Blackwood. Went through the account given in last night to Teuchler, and compared Mr. Stevenson´s account of wages paid at Hamburgh with the same, but before finished, the Directors met. When the three proposals mentioned on the 3d instant were read to the Court to the first, they thought it was necessary that the Council General, to meet this day, should determine, 1mo, Whether the government of the Colony should be by a Governor and Deputy-Governor, or by a Council of 7 or 9; 2do, That the Council should appoint a Committee of their own number, to be joyned with the Committee of the Directors, to consider of the constitutions of the said Colony. To the 2d, they approved of it; and 3d, they approved of it. In the afternoon the Council met, and sat till 8 at night, so there was no adjournment of this Committee. Fryday, December 10, by 10 o´clock in the morning. Present - Baillie James Clark, James Balfour, and Mr. Robert Blackwood.
