The ship Hoop, the hooker Handelaar, and the galwet Concordia 
left for Tandjong Kling where the Gertruida Susannahad been lying 
so long to prevent the escape of the eo vessels from Batang 
Tiga Bay. 
JuNE 22.—The Bugis Akier, who was found in the jungle and 
brought up here yesterday, with the Malay, Intjeh Mangsoer, and 
afew men to protect them, were sentto Telok Katapan, the 
former to point out the body of Radja Hadyji, and the latter, who 
knew the Prince well, to identify it. 
Intjeh Mangsoer, onreturning in the afternoon, declared that when 
he came to Telok Katapan with the prisoner Akier, the latter had 
shewn him between that place and Tandjong Pallas an unburied 
dead body, which he recognised unmistakably as that of Radja Hadji, 
not only by the figure and the short teeth, in which he differed from 
other Bugis, but also by the scar of a wound on his thigh, which 
he had got at Linggi in a previous war against the Company. 
June 23.—Three European officers, and four non-commissioned 
officers, two drummers and forty-eight soldiers, with four Malay 
upper and fourteen under officers and one hundred and ninety-six 
soldiers, were sent from the outskirts of Tranquéra to Tandjong 
Kling, in order to turn out the enemy also from this side of the 
town, but on coming up to the enemy’s stockades they found them 
deserted, so after destroying them they set them on fire. 
The Malays Madjid and Amien were sent to Telok Katapan this 
morning for a further examination of the body of Radja Hadji at 
Tandjong Pallas, and on their return they declared that having 
inspected it carefully, and noticed the scar mentioned by the Malay 
Mangsoer, and the bare shaven head, and also a black circular mark, 
pointed out by Amien, who knew that Radja Hadji bore such a 
mark, they recognised the body as that of Radja Hadji, and were 
convinced that it could be none other than that of the Prince. In 
the evening there returned from Telok Katapan the men-of-war 
Utrecht, Goes, Wassenaar, Princess Louisa, Monnikendam and Juno, 
and the Company’s armed vessels Hof ter Linden and Diamant, 
_ together with the smaller boats which had been there. 
JuNE 24.—This morning the Governor sent the chief of the 
Achinese, Posaijan, with some Malays to Telok Katapan, with an 
escort of twenty-four native soldiers, in order to put the body of 
Radja Hadji into a coffin and bring it in. They arrived late in the 
evening in the Bandailhera, and remained in the outer battery till 
the next morning, when they brought the body inside the fort,
