" Miida Hassim now expressed himself desirous of sending- some Pangerans to Borneo, and I wished him likewise to do so on account of the reflective power of the steamer, which, in that case, would have shone upon him. With his usual delay, how- ever, he failed to be ready, and these Pangerans did not quit the river for two days afterwards, when they proceeded in a native prahu. I accom- panied the steamer to the mouth of the river ; and wishing them success, pulled back to the capital of Sarawa...k.
" Oct. 30th. — The Swift was slowly laden with antimony-ore, worked by the Chinese ; and I gra- dually robbed the Royalist of furniture for my house on shore. But I had no intention of allow- ing- either vessel to sail until the time arrived which I had fixed on for the final adjustment of my affairs. By degrees, however, I learned many of the difficulties of poor Muda Hassim's situation, and much of the weakness of his character. The dissensions in Borneo, the intrigues of Macota, the rapacity of his own people and their total want of fidelity, the bribes from the Sultan of Sambas, the false representations of numerous Borneo Pan- gerans who asserted the immense profit to be de- rived from the country, the dilatory movements of the Chinese, some doubts of my good faith, and, above all, the natural tenacity of power, — all con- 244 MACOTA AT WORK.
