March 1793 CE

The Macartney expedition had departed Rio de Janeiro on 17 December and sailed east once more, rounding the Cape of Good Hope on January 7. 1793.

They had passed Java in February, and reach Jakarta (at this time known as Batavia) on March 6.

Here, they buy a French brig, which they christen the Clarence, to replace the missing Jackall.

The Jackall itself, however, rejoins the squadron at Jakarta, after having turned back for repairs after the storm that had struck the ships at the start of their voyage.
