erland Mail from England, and returning therewith to China. [33] Date of submitting the above proposed route and estimate to her majesty's Government for consideration. [34] The MS. having been under water in the wreck of the Great Liverpool steamer, this name and some others are illegible. [35] A sort of gong. [36] Tumbawong is a place they have deserted, or been forced to quit. [37] A head-house. [38] Gadong is a small Malay village on the Sadong, considerably nearer the sea than the Bandar's village. [39] This occurred during Seriff Sahib's time; the Dyaks were frightfully oppressed. [40] The goods brought down by Mr. Williamson were on a public trial confiscated, and the parties concerned fined. These Dyaks from their distance and timidity, were afraid to complain, but will in future not be imposed upon. It would be a hopeless task trying to prevent the Malays playing their tricks on the Dyaks; and the only chance of freeing the Dyaks from these exactions is by inspiring them with confidence. In Sarawak this has been done, and may easily be extended; for the Dyak, though greatly depressed by a course of persecution, I have always found ready to state his complaints whenever he has a hope of redress. The Orong Kaya Pa Jampat of Mang-garut was freed of the debt claimed by the Samarahan Pangara; and the other complaints referred to my decision have been either rectified, or steps taken to do justice, and to render the Dyak tribes of Sadong happy and easy.--_Note by Mr. Brooke._ End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S.
