to settle in Brunei and by their
sobriety and industry soon ingra-
tiated themselves in the good will
of the natives. They intermarried,
and a number of their arts were soon
adopted throughout the kingdom.
Thus 1t happened that when the
island was first visited by Europeans
early in the sixteenth century, the
voyagers We're surprised to find evil
dences of a high civilization.
There are a number of conflicting
stories as to who was the first white
man TO land on Brunei, but the first
authoritative account of a visit
comes from Pigafetti, the friend and
companion OF the great Portuguese
navigator Magellan, the first man to
sail around the globe This writer
The Washington times., 1906-01-21

tells us that when he landed on the
island he was met by the sultan of
Brunei, whose retinue was made up
of large cavalcade of horses and
trained elephants. The white man
was carried to the palace. and was
there astounded at the richness of
the surroundings. While there were
no evidences of artistic taste. as
judged by European standards, there
were large vessels and spoons of
solid gold. while the walls were hung
with silk embrolderies. and the
BANQUET was served in porcelain
dishes. 1t is easily seen that this
advancement is attributable to the
Chinese whose ideas the natives had
verytreadily assimilated.
The advancement thus chronicled
The Washington times., 1906-01-21

brings into prominence a leading
characteristic of the Dyaks, one of
the aboriginal races. They are vary
intelligent and readily adopt sugges-
tions. The Dyaks have always been
held in contempt by the Malays, the
other race which originally inhabit-
ed the island, but there are many
points in which the former are a
more admirable people than their
more naughty neighbors. The Dyaks
are slightly larger than the Malays.
They are active and capable of en-
during phenomenal fatigue. They
are a highly moral people, possess
ing the admirable qualities of hos
pitality and truthfulness besides
having tenacious memory. Their
religion is a mixture of the Hindu
The Washington times., 1906-01-21

and Mohammedan faiths, and though
they believe in a supreme being.
there are a number Of titular gods
which have various powers over
mankind, according to the accounts
of missionaries who have been at
work among these people. 1t is
rarely the case that any human
sacrifices are made in the name of
religion, but there is another Gus
tom which bears its bloody fruits.
There is one caste among these peo-
pie, the requisite of admission to
which is that the warrior shall have
a certain number Of human skulls
to attest his prowess. This has led
to the youthful members OF the tribes
going forth on independent head
hunting expeditions. With the adj

vent of European civilization this
custom has gradually Gfed out. The
weapons in use among these people
are short curved sword. the spear.
and the much-feared blow piDe, in
the boring Of which the natives have
achieved considerable skill. The
bow and arrow are practically un-
known. Their steel and iron imple-
ments. however, equal, if they do not
surpass, European manufactures
both in temper and keenness of edge.
When these qualities OF the Dyaks
are recognized. it is not remarkable
that the Chinese civilization spread
rapidly throughout the province of
Brunei, for the Malays, who comprise
the remaining contingent of the
population. are well known for their

edible fish, and the catching of these
has become suCh an important indus
try that it has resulted in the estab-
lishment OF d distinct fisherman
caste. The waters also TEEN with
cTocodiles. Not few pearls are
gathered along the coast by divers,
while other natives gain a precarious
living by scaling the cliffs to gather
the edible nests of the swallows,
which are To be found here in large
quantities.
The city of Brunei. though little
known TO the average globe trotter.
and not at all 20 the man whose idea
OF the world has been gathered from
his manual geography course, has
a charm of originality and oddity.
IL lies in a section of the country
that is low and swampy. To have
built the city on the mainland would
therefore have been undesirable be-
cause it would have been impossible
to construct docks, as dredging was
not practiced by these people. For
these and other apparent reasons
this fisher populace built their homes
on piling sunk in the middle of A
lake-like expanse of the river. The
water was shallow at this point and
there was scarcely any more diff
Guilty experienced in building homes
over the water than would have been
encountered had they followed the
conventional land-city plan. Brunei
has a population estimated by some
at as high a 10000. The houses are
as whole low, and constructed of
bamboo with thatched roofs. AS in
Venice. the chief streets of the town
are OF water. The inhabitants 90
from one house TO another in their
peculiarly shaped canoes, and the
dexterity with which they are piloted
would put the average gondolier of
Venice to shame.

mental capabilities. It was only
comparatively short time before a
fair percentage of the population of
the island could both read and write
This fact surprised the first Euro
peans TO reach Brunei.
The people Jf this island kingdom
must have lived a care-free existence
before the English and Dutch fleets
made their appearance in the South
ern Archipelago. Nature supplied
the necessaries of life without any
particular eXeTtion on their part,
while the tribal warfares were waged
after a desultoFy fashion, never en-
failing much loss OF life or great
suffering The Chinese had taught
them a few or the arts which added
10 their comfort, so ii would seem
that nothing was needed To- make
their lot more enjoyable. The COM
ing of the Caucasian has been the
great white plague TO the inhabi-
tants of Brunei, however. At first
the fact that the Dutch and the Eng
lish both wanted the territory made
the two parties humor and eajole
the natives. Each courted favor with
the sultan. and in his simple savage
heart he took sides first with one and
then with the other, thus giving each
a pretext 10 settle in his territory
and begin gradual subjugation OF
the province. The British eventually
gained the ascendancy in that part
of the realm over which the sultan
OF Brunei held personal sway.
Brunei, with its splendid port
facilities and its advantage Of beiug
on the side of Borneo nearest China,
seemed destined at one time to be
the Tokyo OF the South Seas in point
of political prowess and commercial
supremacy as well as a Venice Of the
East in its physical aspect. The
country TO which it is the gateway is
rich in man. kinds of hardwoods,
notably the teak, sandal. and bam-
boo. The fields are fertile, though
they have never been properly culti-
waited. 1t was the custom among
the Dyaks 10 raise one or two crops
of maize, and then allow the land
TO lie fallow for eight or ten years.
Indigo was raised on the island also
The mineral resources Of Brunei are
rich. There are large deposits OF
coal. and it is probable that this is
the only benefit which England will
ever derive from her new possession.
Besides this there are scattering
evidences of gold, silver, nickel. and
antimony.
One of the chief sources Of subsist-
ence for the natives mas been the toll

had a history which rivals in in
terest and romantic adventures that
of the immortal mistress OF the
Adriatic. Long before the doges
erected their marble palaces along
the Grand canal. and before the
Bridge of Signs had head its first
heart sob, the barbaric sultans of
Brunei were welding a power which
would have made even the doges of
Venice jealous. AS Venice once con-
trOlIed the commerce of the Mediter-
ranean, SO from Brunei Cnce sailed
eli the craft laden with sandal. teak,
and rosewood, with bamboo, coal
and gold which were imported into
China Not only vessels of legiti-
mate commerce found an anchorage
at Brunei, but here also were 10 be

craft which for many years daring
~ fiaunted the black flag of piracy
in the faces of the merchantmen of
the world. 1t was here that the
Malays found harbor to which they
might retreat in times of danger,
and amid the islands and swamps
that hedged the city they found a
haven secure from all pursuit.
But long before Europeans began
TO navigate these waters and offer
themselves as a prey to the daring
pirates Brunei was a thriving COM
mercial center and the head of a
nation.
Before the GOths and the Vandals
had made their devastating descent
upon the Roman empire the Chinese
had found their way to Brunei and
begun their conquest of civilization.
Tradition tells US that as early as
the seventh century the Chinese in
habitants of the island residing I'm
Pha-la on the northeast coast were
sending their annual tribute back
TO the Celestial empire. Before Col
umbus had won the ear of Queen
Isabella and gone forth to discover
new worlds. and while the British
colonial policy was yet a dream, the
Chinese sent Il colony 20 Brunei. The
inhabitants OF this tropic isle were
wiser than their fellow-a
of America, however. Instead of
selling their lands for trinkets and
giving way so the onward march OF
the Mongolieu, they deprived the
newcrr ers OF the right To engage in
commerce The Ceiestials were fur
thermore not allowed to carry fire
arms, and were not permitted to
possess gunpowder. A very effective
protective tariff was levied on for
eigners with respect to agricultural
products American statesmen were
anticipated in this matter of extreme
protection. The Chinese were not al

After an independent existence
from time immemorial. the large and

Borneo within the past two centuries
has been gradually ground to a mere
fragment between the upper and
