This coranto is possibly the earliest surviving broadshaeet reporting on events in the East Indies. Written to the British East India Company, it reports on the Dutch East India Company's capture of the Banda islands of Lantore (Great Banda) and Polaroone (Pulo Run) from the British in 1621. The report focused on the purported sacking and violence commited by the Dutch, and the forcible removal of the Banda inhabitants to Batavia.
