Adventurers that the East India Company was about to be dissolved,
seized upon the premises and goods of the Company. A Mr, Bell had
visited Basrah in that year with one of the Company's vessels, but he had
only succeeded in obtaining freight to the amount of lis. 9UU for his
return voyage.
In April 1661 Messrs. George Cranmer and Robert Sainthill were
sent from Surat to Basrah in the "Amerita" frigate with a cargo
of Surat and other cloth, pepper, cassia lignum, rice, etc. They were
instructed to remind the

of a promise given by him in the previous
year that he would provide " a better house than that taken from the
Hon^ble Company/*' and, if their representations on this point failed,
they were to hire suitable premises on their own account. Freight goods
were to be landed at once; but goods for sale were to be kept on board ship,
with a view to avoiding payment of customs, until any doubts that might
appear as to their profitable disposal had been removed. Mr. Sainthill
was to return on the " Amerita/"' which was not to be detained beyond
the 20th of September; but Mr. Cranmer was to remain until the
amounts due for goods sold had been collected in full.
