Hamburg to king Frederick II of Denmark: report that skipper Hans Schomaker arrived in Hamburg from Iceland with a ship of 40 to 50 last loaded with sulfur, on behalf of Stefan Loitz. As sulfur is only allowed to be brought to Copenhagen, Schomaker claimed that weather conditions prevented him from sailing there.
