		Schouten was arrested (and later released) and his ship confiscated in Java.

		Le Maire, Schouten, and Le Maire's son (Jacob) joined with the city leaders of the town of Hoorn and raised money for two ships, which were outfitted for the passage.
		As Le Maire and Schouten passed the most southerly tip and moved into the great ocean to the west they noted the point and called it Cape Hoorn, which has endured onto maps today.
		Then Le Maire wished to pursue a more southerly course into Java, Schouten was leery of the southern side of New Guinea and believed it not possible to pass on that side.

		Navigator Willem Schouten, veteran of three trips to the East Indies, captained the three-masted, 220-ton Eendracht (or "Concord") and her crew of sixty-five men, while Jan Le Maire claimed the smaller 110-ton Hoorn and twenty-two men.
		Navigator Willem Schouten rushed to print in 1618 with a popular, readable journal of the voyage that went through many editions; Captain van Speilbergen followed with his Voyage Around the World, 1614-1617 in 1619, and in 1622, the Le Maires published their account, which is reproduced here in heavy, fl, gothic letters.
		However, Schouten was able to win the ship's council to his way of thinking, with the result that Eendracht followed a route which took it past New Guinea (Irian Jaya) along the northern coast.
