66 BRITISH BORNEO. 
Kinabalu, in British North Borneo, which is 13,700 feet in 
height :—“ This is the genealogy of all the Rdjas who have 
‘occupied the royal throne of the Government of Brunai, the 
‘abode of peace, from generation to generation, who inherited 
‘the royal drum and the bell, the tokens from the country of 
‘“‘Johore, kamal almakam, and who also possessed the royal 
‘drum from Menangkabau, namely, from the country of Sagun- 
Pacanion 
“This was the commencement of the kingdom of Brunai and

‘returned to Brunai; but His Highness had no male issue and 
‘‘only one daughter. Atthat time also the Emperor of China 
“ordered two of his ministers to obtain possession of the pre-

“they gave the mountain the name of Kinabalu (A7zza= 
“ Chinese; dalu=widow). 
‘The name of one of the Chinese Ministers was ONG
