The Old Man amuses me and if the ghost of

From stories that have come down TO me. and
from his own written accounts can picture him as
he stood the deck of his small yacht little
more than 100 years ago, viewing the wilds of
Borneo-that land TO which a rowing spirit and
bitter establishment in his life had led him.
See he shouted to his companions, as he
gazed at the dense jungle ahead, This is land

the men

May some lousy pirate clap his hands on you

James Brooke listened but only smiled
That was good. For years he had had nothing
to smile about
War-a battle in Burma when he was only q
years oId-had robbed him of everything most
men hold dear. Riddled with bullets he had been
left for dead on the battlefield. That is, he was

ingly fond of young James because of his gay,
reckless ways, insisted that his body be found.
James was not dead
His dauntless spirit flickered family inside his
mutilated body. He carried TO camp where
for months he lowered between life and death.
Finally when he strong enough, the doctors
told him of his crippled manhood.
You should never marry his physicians adj
vised
Denied by Fate woman's affection, children
and home there was only one thing left. life
of adventurc-as soon as he was fit for it.
He turned TO the
AS he roved over lonely waters he had his first
glimpse of Boneo-a little known land of savages.
This untamed land appealed to the man who was
doomed 10 walk the rest of his life alone He
wanted TO become great leader of those bar
barous people-to put humanity into their hearts
But he wasn't quite ready James Brooke
turned TO England He forgot about the past and
the present, thinking only of glorious tomorrow
He also forgot what the doctors in Burma and
Calcutta had told him. He wanted and needed
wife to share his glory.
James fell in love with beautiful English girl
She loved him, too. and soon they were engaged
But their love short and stormy. Unwllllngy
but surely the girl admitted to herself that the
kind of life she would share with James Brooke
would not satisfy-she wanted normal man Tor
husband She wanted children
The engagement was broken
Sad and bitter. James renOunCed marriage for
ever and crawed into his shell.
Soon he heard the woman he loved was dead
Once again the sea beckoned.
"I'll take her for a sweetheart" he said "She
wants nothing but gallant heart from her lover.
And SO he went back to the sea.
That's how it happened that silently, one morn
ing back in 1888 the schooner Royast nosed its
way up the Sarawak River. Only mud and dense
jungle were in sight Where the river was leading
the adventurous Englishmen didn't know but they
pushed
II thought the natives all ran around naked"
said one of them they neared the then tiny viii
lage that now is Kuching, capital of Sarawak.
Brown men and women swarmed down to the
shore TO look at them. Some were richly dressed
in embroidered coats and trousers and sarongs Of
the heaviest gold. Others wore only loin cloths
and beads.
None of them had seen a white man. No white
man ever had set foot on their island
They crowded around James Brooke who knew
not a word of their language and could only
gesticulate rather wildly, hoping they would get
the meaning of his waving hands.
One native pointed to his white face, another

cawed curiously at his white arms, and finally he
understood that they wanted him to take his
clothes off to see if he was white all Oblig-
ingly he rolled up his pants legs and they were
satisfied
A few weeks before, in Singapore, James
Brooke had heard that there was terrible rebel
lion among the natives of Sarawak. He had come
to help stop it.
Muda Hassim the Malay Prince who was hav-
ing all the trouble with the natives, welcomed the
Englishman Through an interpreter he begged
and implored him to stand by. In an agony of
passion, lest he be deserted, the poor little Prince
shouted SO everyone could hear
IF only you will remain l will give you even
my country. | will give you even my government,
and my trade. All these things you can have, you
and your generations after you, if only you will
not desert me now in my hour of need"
With bullets and steel James Brooke put down
one of the biggest rebellions in the Far East.
On September "a, 1871 he became Raiah of
Sarawak The first white Rajah in the world
Soon he discovered that some of the tribes of the
interior were even more savage than he had
dreamed and heard strange tales of the nhuman
customs practced by the pirates
On one occasion certain chief called Batu
Dian was taking possession of new house. He
wished to make a suitable sacrifice TO satisfy the
spirits. Up from the coast came a Malay man
with lovely little Malay slave girl he had stolen
from her home He sold the girl to Batu Dian.
She young and innocent but willing to
serve her new master in any way he might desire
fortunately She dldn know What rate had IN
store for her.
Batu Dian paid for her grudngly. He looked
her appraisingly while she trembled under his
gaze. Then with wave of the hand he sent her
away She did not see her new master again-and
all he ever saw of her was her life blood Slowly
this was drained from her young body and sprin-
killed. on the pillars of the new house, and under
the house. Then the bloodess little Malay girl
was thrown into the river.
When James Brooke first came to Sarawak
man by the name of Rentap who was a Pirate
chief and lived on the summit of mountain, took
boy prisoner.
Although this boy was one of his own race
Rentap determined TO put him to death. HIS rea-
son, perhaps nothing more than sheer delight in
his cruelty.
1t is custom of these primitive people to ex-
anime the internal organs of an animal or fowl
a means of predicting the future. To those
gathered around him, watching with evil JOY this
mans perverse acts, Rentap said
Heretofore we always have examined the

heart of a pig, but will it not be far more inter-
estng to examine human hearth"
He ordered the boy dragged about by the hair
until he exhausted. Then slowly and cruelty
he was tortured until all life was gone His heart,
which had scarcely stopped beating, was torn from
his breast and examined.
1t certainly could not forete anything bright
for the future, but Rentap and his wicked friends
had had their fun-at the cheap price of one slave
boy not even paid for but stolen.
1t was tales like these that made the new White
Rajahs heart ache How could he ever get close
enough to these 'superstitious natives so he could
persuade them to change their ways? Dreams and
superstitons ruled most of their lives
Time came for the feast called Makanaun
BY this time the Rajah had become quite
friendly with many of the Sea Dyaks. They liked
his friendly laughter and were entranced with the
card tricks he performed for their entertainment
His great strength, which he displayed by bending
a spear over his knee, made him one of them.
Only one thing disturbed them. Their Rajah
had no wife. They offered him the choicest brown
