RAJA HAJI. 205 
returned again to Boekit Tampoerong, with a 12-pounder and two 3- 
pounder guns, anda 4-inch howitzer, and kept the enemy disturbed 
by a continual cannonading and bombardment, while at daybreak 
the fleet before Telok Katapan fired heavily with their big guns on 
the enemy’s fleet and batteries. At about 8 o’clock it was seen 
from St. Paul’s Hill that the ships with the landing party moved 
into Telok Katapan Bay, and soon after the heavy firme from the 
ships ceased. Then for more than half an hour was heard con- 
tinual volleys of musketry, an unbroken running fire, and a little 
after 9 o’clock one could see over the point, on this side of Telok 
Katapan or Tandjong Pallas, a thick smoke rising, which lasted off 
and on the whole day. Meanwhile, about 10 a.m., the flag-ship 
signalled that the landing had been successful, and was answered 
by a countersignal from this fortress. 
The troops which moved out from here in the morning towards 
midday became aware that the enemy were leaving their stockade 
to the east of this fortress in the greatest haste and confusion. 
They did not, however, at once take possession of it, but followed 
the fugitives almost to Telok Katapan, without loss either in killed 
or wounded. Two out of the three officers who were with them— 
viz., Lieuts. Ziegelitz and Kiliaan—each obtained one of the enemy’s 
colours. There were also taken twenty-four ships, large and small, 
and the following guns :— 
1 iron cannon of 6 lb. 4. dubbel-haken

181 pieces round shot of all sorts, tin and iron, with two 
barrels and one tub of native gunpowder. 
Thus, through the merciful direction of God, we were entirely 
freed on this side of the town and fortress from the enemy who had 
planned our downfall. Towards evening a report spread that Radja 
Hadji was killed, and that this was the reason of the hasty flight 
from Semabok, Doejong and elsewhere.
