RAJA HAJI. 193 
& 
Bugis left the roads near Tandjong Kling, but remained the whole 
day lying at anchor before the place without doing anything. 
Meantime, at daybreak, with the opening of the gates the news 
was received that 100 Nanningers, posted in the deceased Malek 
Faizullah’s garden, had run away in the night, but that 100 
Achinese who had been with them had already gone on the ships 
appointed to transport them, and had pushed off intending to go 
to Tandjong Kling. But they were sent back to land in the after- 
noon by the Council of War of the above-mentioned expedition. 
Fes. 10.—All the vessels and people returned from Tandjong 
Kling without having done anything. 
Fes. 13.—A large number of native vessels, large and small, were 
observed to the south which all put in to Telok Katapan, and 
afterwards news was received that they belonged to Radja Hadji 
and that his people landed at the above-named place. 
Frs. 14.—More Riouw vessels with men and ammunition arrived 
at Telok Katapan. 
Fes. 15.—The disastrous news was received that the enemy who 
landed yesterday and the day before at Telok Katapan, had not 
only already advanced as far as Poengoer and Toejong and taken 
possession of them and the country lying round, but that also the 
inhabitants, except a few who had fled to the hills, had put them- 
selves under the protection of Radja Hadji. 
Frs. 16.—News was brought by several Semabok people escap- 
ing to the town, that the Riouw Bugis had already arrived there, 
and had taken possession of the hill. 
Fes. 21.—Some volunteers marching to Semabok came into 
action with the enemy, on our side we lost no one, but on the 
enemy’s, as far as we could see, three men were killed, and the 
head of one was cut off and brought to town to be exposed. 
Fes. 22.—In the morning at 4 o’clock a detachment marched, 
under command of Lieutenant Duvergé, to Semabok consisting of 
twenty-seven Huropeans, and sixty-two Malay soldiers, besides one 
extra vuurwerker, one bombardier, two gunners and twelve 
musketeers, from the garrison, taking with them also two cannon 
of 3 lb. and a kattekop* of 4 inches, with all their appurtenances. 
This force was also joined by the Naval Captains Foger Abo and 
Jacob Frederiks, with some Malay soldiers and their officers, 
together with some armed European sailors from their ships, and 
* An obsolete piece of artillery.
