Campaign against the Portuguese (1655)
In 1655, de Jager boarded and looted the Portuguese ship the Consciencia, taking its cargo of sugar. In October, de Jager met Dutch privateer Cornelis Janszoon van de Velde in Antillen, with whom he went on to attack two other Portuguese ships near Fernando de Noronha.[2] One of the ships was captured and loaded with part of the stolen sugar from the Consciencia and the other managed to flee.[3] The rest of the sugar was put on board the ship The Salamander of the Lampsin brothers.[4]
After the short campaign, de Jager sailed for Holland to sell his loot.[2]

gollark: A binary format would be somewhat more space-efficient and avoid the hassle of base64ing binary blobs, and lossily parsing and stringifying floats.
gollark: It's kind of a shame everything ended up going with *JSON*, of all things, since it's such a bad serialization format in many ways.
