一 同年七月七日、北原采女・日向三郎右衛門、その外役々六百人余りが御用相済み、一同乗船にて引き払った。この後、異賊（外国船）の渡来が計り難いため、当隊は陪卒共に八十七人にて厳重に守衛し罷り在った。
但し、先立ちの御人数は当五日より風待ちをし、三郎右衛門の備え乗組三艘は越後新潟へ着き、采女の備え乗組三艘は出羽坂田へ着く積もりにて、今日一同に出帆した。当隊の者共は見送りのため、営門ならびに海岸へ罷り出たところ、山岡伝十郎殿も海岸へ見送りに来られ、しばらく控えておられたため、一同海岸に控え居たところ、風順よく暫時の内に帆影も見えなくなるほどになった。これまで七百余りの御人数にて守衛しておったところが、わずか十分の一程の小人数にて、応援の頼みもない離島に残されることとなった。殊に日を追うごとに秋の気配が増し、深浅の次第はあるものの、十人に六七人が青腿・下疳の症にて浮腫を来たさない者はなく、先立ちの御人数が引き上げる際には、その症にて病死した者が七人あり、その外難症にて営中より戸板に乗せかかれて運び出され、引き取りの船中も無覚束なほどの者が数人いた。ただ今にも異船が渡来して手切れとなった場合には、有無を言わさぬ勝負となり速やかに（決着が）相分かれるであろう。もし対談（交渉）があり、宗谷へ送り遣わすことに至った場合には、宗谷より有無の……

英語訳
One entry: On the seventh day of the seventh month of the same year, Kitahara Uneme, Hyūga Saburōemon, and other officials totaling over six hundred men completed their duties and all departed by ship. As it was difficult to predict further incursions by foreign vessels thereafter, our unit remained on strict garrison duty with eighty-seven men, including attendant soldiers.
Note: The advance party had been waiting for favorable winds since the fifth of this month. Three ships carrying Saburōemon's unit were destined for Niigata in Echigo Province, and three ships carrying Uneme's unit were destined for Sakata in Dewa Province; all departed together today. The men of our unit went to the garrison gate and the shore to see them off, and Lord Yamaoka Denjūrō also came to the shore to see them off and remained there for a time. As everyone stood waiting at the shore, the winds proved favorable and within a short while the sails disappeared from view entirely. Where until now over seven hundred men had been stationed on guard duty, we were now left on this remote island with merely about one-tenth that number, with no hope of reinforcements. Moreover, as the days passed the signs of autumn deepened; and though there were varying degrees of severity, six or seven out of ten men suffered from conditions of leg swelling (青腿) and chancre (下疳), with virtually none spared from edema. By the time the advance party withdrew, seven men had died from these ailments, and several others with severe conditions had to be carried out of the barracks on stretcher boards and were in such precarious condition that their survival aboard the evacuation ships was uncertain. Should foreign ships arrive at any moment and hostilities break out, the outcome of battle would be swiftly determined. If negotiations were to take place and [men] were to be sent to Sōya, then from Sōya...
