And the whole charge for the keeping of her at sea for the whole summer, or three voyages; for the fitting of a hundred Last of caske or barrels. [Sidenote: If any will know all the particulars of Weys of Salt, or Barrels of Beer, or Hundred[weight]s of Biscuits, I will willingly resolve [_explain to_] him; but here is the whole charge, and with the most [_at the outside_.]] 100 Last of Barrels £72 For Salt, four months 88 Beer, four months 42 For Bread, four months 21 Bacon and Butter 18 For Pease, four months 3 For Billet, four months 3 For men's wages, four months 88 ---- £335 One hundred Last of herrings, filled and sold at £10 the Last, cometh to one thousand pounds. Herrings £1000 The whole charge 335 ---- Gotten £665 [See full particulars in the later work _Britain's Buss_ in Vol. III. p. 621.] Here plainly appeareth that there is gotten £665 in one summer, whereout if that you do deduct £100 for the wear of the ship and the reparations of her nets against the next summer; yet still there £565 remaining for clear gains, by one Buss in one year. [Sidenote: And I have rated the Herrings, but at £10 the Last; which is with the least. For they be commonly sold by the Hollanders at Dantsic for £15 and £20 the Last.] The Hollanders do make [_consider_] the profit of their Busses so certain, that they do lay out their own children's money, given them by their deceased friends, in adventuring in the Busses; and also there is in Holland a Treasury for Orphans opened and laid out in adventuring in the Busses. [Sidenote: Ready money; or tallies, which are as Bills of Exchange, to be paid at first sight.]
