Whereas the director general and councilors of New Netherland have deemed it necessary, for the execution of the aforesaid expedition, to hire some yachts in addition to the large ships, and the yachts of Willem Boutje, M. Abraham Staas, and Arien Sijmensen being judged suitable for the expedition; therefore, these persons were summoned to the session and informed of such and have chartered their yachts in the service of the company to the director general for the projected expedition for 6 guilders per day, with the provision that the skipper of each yacht furnish two men and a boy at their own expense. Ady ut supra. 30 August 1655.
