At Anjer we took on board 111 passengers, coolies and women bound for Sigogha, and left Anjer roadstead again at 2:45 p.m., and taking out our bearings from the land we ran past Pulo Soengjan, or Right in the Fairway Island, past Hog Point and Lampong Bay, and then discovered that the island of Krakatau was casting forth enormous columns of smoke.

At 5 p.m., Pulo Tiga Island lay about half a mile to the west of us. Were steering then NW1/4N (time bearing).

At 6:15 p.m., the southernmost of the Chandon Islands was bearing NE.

Laid the course next for the roadstead of Telok Betung, which we reached at 7:30 p.m., and where we anchored in 6 fathoms of water with 30 fathoms' shackle outside the hawse-pipe.

From 6 o' clock we had rain of ashes and small bits of stone, and there was a stiff breeze from the NW and WNW.

Lindeman added later about that night, "The lightning struck the main mast conductor five or six times."

Also, "The mud rain, which covered the masts, rigging and decks, was phosphorescent and on the rigging presented the appearance of St. Elmo's fire. The native crew engaged themselves busily in putting this phosphorescent light out with their hands, and were so intent on this occupation that the stokers left the engine rooms for the purpose, so that the European engineers were left to drive the machinery for themselves. The natives pleaded that if this phosphorescent light, or any portion of it, found its way below, a hole would be burnt in the ship; not that they feared the ship taking fire, but they thought the light was the work of evil spirits, and that if the ill-omen light found its way below, the evil spirits would triumph in their design to scuttle the ship."
