286 MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. 
ment of Malays and ‘ Orang laut’ wasin existence in my earliest 
recollection. | CRawFuRD says it was first made in 1811, and Wa 
Haxtm’s recollection confirms this statement.| Tuan Rarrirs came 
in the Barque Stone (?). She was akapal dua tiang sa-téngah. The 
men that lived in boats were the first to see Tuan Rarries coming. I 
remember the boat landing in the morning. There were two white 
men and a Sepoy init. When they landed, they went straight to 
the Téménggong’s house. Tuan RaFries was there, he was a 
short man. I knew his appearance [7.e., subsequently]. Tuan 
Fareunar was there; he was taller than Tuan Rarrnzs and he 
wore a helmet.(?) The Sepoy carried a musket. They were 
entertained by the Témtnggong and he gave them rambutans 
and all kinds of fruit. J tegether with the Malays and ‘ Orang 
laut’ followed them to the edge of the verandah. Tuan Rarrnzs 
went into the centre of the house. About 4 o’clock in the after- 
noon, they came out and went on board again. About twelve days 
afterwards, they pitched their tents and brought guns, &e. on shore. - 
Batryn Sapr, an Orang laut, went to bring Tunku Lone from Bulang. 
I think he was four days away. Barin Sapir came back first and 
then Tunku Lone came. The English had been some days ashore, 
and had made atap-houses, when Batin Sapr went to fetch Tunku 
Lone. When Tunku Lone came, Tuan Rarries was living ashore, 
in an atap-house. They had a discussion first in the Téménggong’s 
house and afterwards in Tuan Rarruzs’ house in Padang Senar. 
At that time the plain wascovered with kémunting and sikedu- 
dok bushes. I myself helped to cut them down and assisted in 
making the fort (kubu) and digging a trench between Tuan RaFFies’ 
house and the sea. At that time there were some jambu trees, 
as at present, towards Beach Road, and some near the Téménggong’s 
house. These are the only trees | remember close by there. There 
were no houses in the island except at Kampong Téménggong. 
The first huts on the shores of New Harbour were built under Bukit 
Chermin, shortly after Rarries came. Kampong Glam was then 
called Séduyong by the ‘ Orang Laut.’ ”
