the Western Tung Islands (*) (Anamba?), entered the Indian Sea ( 2 ) (?) and 

 consecntively arrived at the Olive islands ( 3 ) (?), Karimata ( 4 ) and Kau-lan ( 5 ) 

 (Billiton) , where they stopped and cut timber to make small boats for en- 

 tering the rivers. 



At that time Java carried on an old feud with the neighbouring country 

 Kalang, and the king of Java, Hadji Ka-ta-na-ka-la ( 6 ), had already been killed
