6 REPORT ON A JOURNEY FROM TUARAN TO KIAU. 
22. As we had several cases to settle, next day became 
Sunday. Dyak JEMAIN borrowed my casting-net and caught 
alot of fine fish, but Pangeran SAHBUDIN informed me that 
the large ones were garbage fish; in spite of this the men 
seemed to appreciate the rare treat of fresh fish. I walked up 
the Mantaranau, which passes through lawn like valleys, bor- 
dered by low hills, and I certainly thought I should like to 
spend a week here and amuse myself fishing, for the pools are 
full of the finny tribe who were jumping at the flies ina 
systematic manner. This river joins the Kamulau, at whose 
source 1s Kalansatan, the village of GANTOK, the Tegas Chief. 
I<amulau River is a tributary of the Tuaran River, flowing in 
on its right bank between Linggah and Bayag villages. 
23. In the evening, I met the Rungus Maragang Chiefs 
and settled a blood feud. It appears that KUBUD of Ram- 
batuan informed these Chiefs that Tapakawn village near 
Madang had not come under the Government (a falsehood), 
so they killed a certain man, SIMPAGAWN, in retaliation for 
the brutal murder of 18 women and children in 1884 by 
NAKODA RADIN, acting under Pangeran KAMANDRA’S orders, 
who was then Brunei agent in Tuaran. In consequence of 
the Rambatuan massacre, when we got the cession of Tuaran, 
NAKODA RADIN (a Sarawak Dyak who had left his country 
years ago) was wanted, but he fled to Mengkabong, and died 
there in 1885. Before the Rambatuan feud could be settled 
by us, these Rungus Maragang [Dusuns retaliated, almost 
causing a fresh outburst of the feud. 
24. Left Bungol on the 5th March in company with Datoh 
BENAWA. Kampin hill, beyond the second crossing of the 
Mantaranau, was terribly steep, but the Dusuns had thought- 
fully cleared a path through the /a/ang grass, a fathom 
wide. The height of the hill is 2,363 feet, trom themopres 
Kampin hill, Kinabalu bore E. by S., Kiauw S:2 by eae 
Pinokok E. by N. 4 E. Descending its eastern slope was no 
easy matter owing to the steepness of the path, the soil being 
clay, covered with loose bits of sandstone, even on the steep- 
est places, padi had been grown and | cannot but admire the 
indifference to fatigue which would enable the local females 
to endure the consequent toil.
