All of Middelburg has turned out to watch the warship De Zeehondt is being towed out of the harbour, towards the sea, with the help of four sturdy draught horses. Someone of distinction is leaving here, because even Stadholder Maurice’s yacht takes part: it is firing a gun salute. The presence of an African child on the middle ship is notable.
