1« HISTORY OF THE SULTANS OF BRUNI. 



About half of the Kajas in the island asked to surrender as captives 

 and became prisoners, and those who remain at the present time 

 are called Eaja Raja Pulau. * 



Sultan Muaddin then returned to Bruni carrying all the 

 captives from the island, and the Batara of Soolook returned to 

 Soolook carrying his captives and plunder, including the guns which 

 were at the island, all of which were left to the Batara of Soolook ; 

 even the royal guns, f which had been taken to the island, were 

 given to the Batara of Soolook. 



The war being concluded, and peace having been for some time 

 established, the Sultan Muaddin went to Kalekka to put in order 

 all his provinces. Some time before this a son of Merhoum Ttjah, 

 named Eaja Tixgah,J of great courage which could not be opposed, 

 and of great activity and unaccountable caprices, had grieved his 

 elder brother Sultan Abdul Jalil-ul- Jebar, § who was in conse- 

 quence desirous to get rid of him, but could not contrive it, because 

 no one could deal with him. 



* The family of the late Pangiran Benclahara Muda Mahomed and of Raja 

 Muda Hasim belonged to the Pulau Eajas. The late Sultan Omar Ali Satf- 

 uddin II., and his family represent the old Bruni party. The copy of the Selesilah 

 which Pangiran Kasuma gave me says that the reason why the Raja di Pulau 

 was called Orang Kaya Rongiah (apparently a Bajau title) was that all his pro- 

 vinces and dependencies lay on the side towards Sabali (the coasts to the North 

 of the river Bruni are thus designated). The Rajas of Bruni represented by 

 Sultan Muaddin having their possessions towards the Ulu (the West Coasts are 

 thus indicated). Merhoum di Pulau is the last of the Rajas of the Bajaus, but 

 other Bajaus belong to the Court, as those of Lugut, Memiang, Palawan, and 

 Balabak. The Bajaus of Patalan are under the Pangiran Temenggong. All other 

 Bajaus whatsoever belong to the Pulau Rajas, as being descended from the sister 

 of Merhoum di Tanjong, who was the oldest of the family who inherited one 

 thousand males, making the inheritance of the Rajas di Pulau equal to that of 

 Merhoum di Tanjong. 



f These were " Si Membang "~and " Raja Andei," cast by Sultan Shah 

 Bruni. 



% Rajah Tingah was called aho Sultan Anam, and the Pangiran Kasuma's 

 Selesilah calls him the son, not the brother, of Merhoum Tingah. 



§ Sultan Jalil-i'l-Jebar was the son of a Javanese Princess, Siti Kaisa. 

 the second wife of Raja Tuah, and was her second son. He was called Alliudin 

 afterwards Raja Tingah, and then Sultan. This lady had a third child, a girl. 

 Kaja Omar was her eldest son. Jaltl-il- Jebar is spoken of as Merhoum Tingah
