Several Prows have arrived this week loaded with Sandle Wood and Bees Wax, which was all landed at the Chinese Stores. These industrious and busy people have a part of the Town allotted to them that is next to the Sea Side and is called the Camp. They are under a Captain and are quiet and good Citizens. Almost all the Vessels belong to them and through these People all the Trade of this place is carried on.
