near the north-cast coast of Borneo, on its voyage fro
China to Balie Badong, in ballast, having on heal'
Chinese coin for Messrs. Lainge and Company.
It appears, from the letters, that the Sultan u;
Goenong Tabor had taken possession of the wreck and
of the Chinese coin, and left the shipwrecked crew is t,114
greatest distress, in danger of being put to death or aw
by the Sultan.
