64 RAJA AMBONG. 
This message, carried back to S1 DEWA MAMBANG by the 
Tumonggong, put the former in a furious rage, and he ordered 
his men to be assembled, guns to be run out, and an attack to 
be made on the Batara Saludang Mayang. 
The usual sea-fight followed when, of course, the whole 
fleet of SI DewA MAMBANG was sunk. Then came a single 
combat on board the vessel of the Demon Chief in which, 
equally of course, Raja AMBONG was triumphant and cut off 
the head of his adversary. The Princess RENEK JINTAN, 
daughter of the slain Chief, was on board, and Raja AMBONG 
demanded her in marriage. But she dutifully insisted on hay- 
ing her father restored to life before she would accept the 
hand of the victor, and this was accordingly done. Then the 
marriage duly took place. 
It has been related how S1 DEWA MAMBANG’S vessel had 
been in the same spot for twelve years, her anchor having 
caught in the roof of the house of the King of the Dragons. 
Raja AMBONG now undertook to settle this difficulty, and 
fastening an iron chain round his waist he proceeded to 
climb down the cable under water until he reached the bottom 
of the sea. Reaching the palace of the King of the Dragons, 
he speedily made himself so much at home that he forgot about 
all those on the surface of the ocean above, and took as his wife 
the Princess CHAHYA INTAN, the daughter of the Dragon King. 
After he had been married for three months his thoughts 
turned one day on his ship the Batara Saludang Mayang 
and his wife, Princess RENEK JINTAN, whom he had left in 
the other vessel up above. So he presented himself before 
his father-in-law the King of the Dragons, and asked for per- 
mission to revisit the earth and also to release the anchor 
which had got hooked in the palace roof. No sooner was 
his wish expressed than the order was given, and after 
taking leave of his second wife he climbed up the cable and 
rejoined his companions on board S1 DEWA MAMBANG’S ship. 
The anchor was now hove up, but Raja AMBONG preferred 
his own vessel, and with the permission of his father- 
in-law removed, with his wife, Princess RENEK JINTAN, 
and his companions, on board the Batara Saludang Mayang 
Then they sailed away, visiting all sorts of strange countries,
