Borneo Pirates.

Brunei, Borneo, is one of the
strangest cities in the world, says a
writer in the January Wide World
magazine. Once the headquarters of
the Borneo pirates, it is a kind OF
eastern Venice, being built entirely
over the water.
This remarkable city is the CAPT.
tai of the State OF Brunei, Borneo.
All the houses are built over the
river Limbang, constructed on slen-
der piles made from the Nibong palm,
a wood that resists the action of wa
ter for many years.
The inha bitants of Brunei are Ma
lays, Kadayans, Orang-Buskits, and
a few Muruts. They earn their liv-
ing mostly by trading with other
tribes in the interior of Sarawak and
British Borneo.
Some of them are very skillful
brass workers, and the Brunei wo-
men make beautiful cloth. interwov-
en- and embroidered with gold thread.
Sage is grown in the valleys near
by, and small quantity of rice is al
so raised. In the early part of the
nineteenth century Brunei. was the
rendezvous of the dreaded Borneo
pirates and a market for the slave
trade

There are two big farms between
