ABSTRACT
A message from Henry Stringfellow to Robert Jackson advised him likewise to proceed to the new port, where under the patronage of the King of Burma, who had established friendly relations with Henry Brooke, he might obtain all the necessary assistance for the repair of the Arcot, and boats to despatch to Negrais. Accordingly the Arcot went on to Rangoon, where she anchored on June 6th, and Captain Jackson deputed Whitehill to the King, bearing a small present of a fowling piece and two bottles of rose water and with a request for assistance in the repair of the ship and boats for transport to Negrais. Jackson and Stringfellow therefore settled down to the business of repairing the Arcot. But apparently a further cause of dispute with the King developed.
