some proper jungle on the way, and
very nearly roasted TO death, Che sun

The palace 1 won't describe. 1t was
rather shoddy. But at the Johore Club
we ate the best curry so far.
The Sultan is young man. His
fathers picture hung in the grand
throne room. l thought it looked like
a gray haired old Kalakaua.
We visited Malay tiger store, but
saw tapirs, leopards and monkeys only.

Malays on the march. One chewing it
appears to have mouth full of blood.
Most Malays, therefore, have badly
stained teeth.
One day l too purchased a half-starv-

proves a nice pet-uglier than sin, but
amusing.

May 3-We got our baggage together,
now swollen by pick-axe, an axe,
knives, lead for bullets, key of powder,
rubber blankets, mattresses, cane pill
lows, bottles of alcohol for specimens,
pounds of arsenic, etc., for our trip to
Borneo.
We sailed at p. m on the S. S. Rajah
Brooke, Captain Joyce of Sarawak. The
Brooke is about 700 tons, little larger
than the Kinau. She runs every ten
days to Kuchong, the Rajah's town.
Rajah Charles Brooke is the nephew
of Sir James Brooke, who left England
for some reason or other and assisted
the old Rajah, a Malay, to defend him
self from the river pirates who made
excursions up the Sadong, Rajang, ETC.,
each year. Somehow the old Rajah
made over the whole state to Brooke
In 1857, the year father landed in Ha-
waii, there was terrible uprising
among the Chinese, who wanted to run
the country.
There were Dyaks-the original peo-
pie, Malays-who continually plumber
ed them with the help OF opposite tribes
and Chinese.
Charles Brooke was an outstation of
ficer when the news of this rebellion
reached him, together with tales that
the old Rajah was killed. (He barely
escaped, another white man having
been killed. Down comes the present

Rajahdom where the Rajah and his

We passed Malay houses galore, on
stills, with the tide acting as scavenger.
In the doors and crowding the ladder
steps were punches of pickaninnies,
and coyly yelled with her sarong, a girl
or two. But of Malays more hereafter
There was toot of whistles and the
white port of Kuching doomed up.
Bang! The gun announcing Royal
mail"
On the right was the fort and the
residency, the palace or "astana," and
long stretch of green lawns and gar
dens.
The Borneo houses look like Kawaia-
hao Seminary or Kaumahapili Church
at home. Peaked roofs with white
plaster.
The mercury was at SO deg. when we
moored on the other side, where the
Jail, warehouses and ordinary resi-
dences are. Sarawak, or rather Ku-
ching, is reclaimed jungle, but thirty
years have given it an European look.
The streets are clean and wide. The
town is about as big as Hilo.
My impression is that there are about
fifteen English people here.

Mohammedan Malays (under Moslem
law, over Chinese mercantile and
strict English common law), over Dy-
axis, Kayans, Kenniahs, Kemahbits and
others with law based on good prin-

bluff, upon which stood the lighthouse,
we started toward the river.
She went at full speed-showing that

! We sat down to very good dinner.

INTO an unoffending village, of the tribe
when three people were murdered and
their heads taken as an evidence or
proves. According to the custom, all
hands celebrated. The heads are in
suited, pelted and fed by women, and
eventually smoked over the public fire,
where they hang as an expiration OF
past wrongs and an example to the
young.
But the Resident of Baram demanded
the heads and the perpetrators of the
outrage. As the old mans son was
implicated, there was a row. The ap-
pearance of Government expedition
at Tamongon's Longhouse was almost
blood for blood. But they were kept
from lighting, the heads were given up
and the old man was sent to Kuching
as state prisoner.
At daybreak, May 22d, we made out
Baram mouth and the Zohara. The
steam up-river was lovely. 1t was
delight to see strange birds and mon
keys from your chair. We deserted a
gavil or alligator swimming along. AS
many as five people have been nabbed
by these brutes this month
Like the Sarawak, the water is mud
dy here and the banks ooze We had
quite stretch of river, as it turns and
writhes like snake.
The first sight of Baram was like
finding tennis court on Mauna Kea,
for here we saw stretch of green lawn
and three very neat houses.
On May 23d we dined with the Rajah.
While at dinner on the bluff overlook
ing the river, divinely romantic, a
swarm of war canoes packed with ma
tives took the occasion to celebrate
They had made frames of rattan and
bamboo over their boats, and upon
these they lighted candles. Gongs,
flutes, yells! 1t was a sight to stir the
blood. The Rajah sat unmoved, but I
could see he was pleased to have show
of loyalty.
We had some very funny Populations
The savages worship Hose, and we
were scarcely in the house before the
