He and his shipmates barely survived hunger, thirst, exposure, hostile natives, and treachery before receiving good treatment and protection from the king of Banjarmasin in return for military assistance. Despite obtaining trading rights for the VOC, Roy was outlawed for absconding with the ship's money and subsequently sailed as a free trader in the Indies, visiting Borneo, Sumatra and Siam. Having acquired a considerable fortune from his enterprises, he was employed by the king of Siam to dispose of a certain English pirate who was visiting Siamese waters. The Roy's account includes brief descriptions of both Brunei and Sukadana although most of his description concern Banjarmasin. He also provided European readers with their first published description of Borneo's interior and of the people who lived there (Lach, Asia in the making of Europe, III, p.1390-1395). - Including an extensive description of the gold and diamonds mines on Borneo and the pirates of Palembang. - A fine copy.Landwehr, VOC, 291; Tiele 944; Cat.
