Philip and Krantz command crews of the Vrow Katerina as a gale drives the stricken ship. They launch boats and a raft for women and children, save 50 miles from land, reach Table Bay, and endure thirst and fatigue before aid arrives. The Wilhelmina later rescues them and an admiral reorganizes the fleet, with Philip offered command as commodore aboard the Lion.
The fleet led by Admiral Ryreiendt sails along the water route toward the Spice islands to shorten passage. Vessels include Lion of 43 guns Dort of 36 with admiral Philip pennant, Zuyder Zee 20, Young Frau 12, and a 4 gun ketch Schevellins.
