（彼らは）あの者たちへ、心のままに（荷物を）渡さなかったために、痛め（られ）たのでございます。さて、陸に上がってみると、山河屋の長右衛門の姿が見えなかったので、どちらへ行ったのかと、あちこち尋ね、本船の中も探しましたが、見当たりませんでした。もしや山中へ逃げ込んだかと、六、七人が手分けをして、雪の中の足跡をたどって探しに行きましたが、現地の者も二人案内に付いて、あちらこちら探し回りましたけれども、行方が分かりませんでした。刃物は持っていなかったので、自害できる手立てもなく、あまりにも恐ろしく、どうにもならないままに、首をくくって死んだのかと思われます。あるいは海中へ飛び込んで死んだのか、とにかく分かりません。現地の者が殺したとは思われません。十四人

の者たちは、食べ物も絶え、住む家もなく、ただ嘆いておりました。本船の荷物はすべて、現地の者たちが分けて取ってしまいました。お米も二百石余りございましたが、船頭が当座の用として持っていた銀三百目は、「龍宮へ上げる」と言って海中へ投げ入れ、その他に用心のための銀十貫目余りもございました。船も打ち壊し、金物を取り、端舟（はしぶね）は焼いて、金物を取りました。このようなことに同心せず、少しでも敵対しようものなら、皆々殺すと決まっておりましたので、少しも逆らいませんでした。身に着けている物は、下帯に至るまで剥ぎ取られました。逆らえば殺すと見え、半弓・槍などがその辺りの草原に大勢（の者が）伏せておりました。さて、一人が近寄って来て、西の山を指さし、
英語訳
**[Right folio]**
They were harmed because they did not hand over [the cargo] freely to those people. Now, upon coming ashore, the man called Chōuemon of Yamakawa-ya was nowhere to be seen, so we inquired in all directions as to where he might have gone, and searched within the main vessel as well, but could not find him. Thinking he might have fled into the mountains, six or seven men split up and followed his footprints through the snow to search for him; two local people also accompanied them as guides, and they searched here and there, but his whereabouts remained unknown. Since he carried no bladed weapon, there was no way for him to take his own life, and in his overwhelming terror and helplessness, we think he may have hanged himself. Or perhaps he leapt into the sea and drowned — in any case, we do not know. It does not seem likely that the local people killed him. The fourteen men

were left without food and without shelter, and could only grieve. All the goods on the main vessel were divided up and taken by the local people. There were more than two hundred *koku* of rice on board. Three hundred *monme* of silver that the ship's captain kept for immediate expenses was thrown into the sea, saying it was an offering to the Dragon Palace. In addition, there was more than ten *kanme* of silver kept as emergency funds. The ship was smashed apart and its metal fittings were taken; the small boat was burned and its metal fittings were taken as well. Since it had been decided that anyone who did not comply with these acts, or showed even the slightest resistance, would be killed outright, no one offered any resistance whatsoever. Everything worn on their bodies, down to their loincloths, was stripped away. It was clear that to resist meant death, as half-bows and spears were deployed in great numbers, with men lying in wait in the grasslands nearby. Then one person came forward and pointed toward the mountain to the west,
