22 HISTORY CXF THE SULTANS OT EltUNI. 



was Eaja Luaddin, whose son was Sullan INask-Addin. * After- 

 wards Merhoum Tuah had another son named Eaja Tuah, and an- 

 other who became Sultan Muaddix, who fought against the Pulau, 

 and was the father of Bendahara Kassiai. Another sou was named 

 Pangiran di Gredong 8 hah Bubin. There was another son named 

 Pangiran Maharaja Lela, who lived at Sematan, and was the father 

 of Pangirans Amat, Alam and Kadie. Pangiran Aalat died at 

 Kemanis, his supply of opium having failed him. 



The Portuguese Wrecked Vessel. 



There was a vessel wrecked at Tanjong Prangi (Feringhie ?) 

 off Eijang. It belonged to the Portuguese, who are called Orang 

 Makau by the Bruni people. The point of land now named 

 Rijang did not exist at that time, nor was the mouth of the river 

 then there. There was a sand bank only in the sea, off the mouth 

 of the river. The people of Bijang took the Portuguese from the 

 wrecked ship and brought them to Bruni to the Tang di Pertuan. 

 It is not certain whether this was in the timet of Sultan Abdul Ka- 

 har, or of Sultan Shah Bruni, but His Majesty took them under his 

 protection and called the Captain his son, and gave him the title of 

 Pangiran Kestani (? Kristani), and made him a present of Manila, 

 because it was after the Spaniards had attacked Bruni J and had 

 returned to Manila, and Pangiran Kestani promised the Merhoum 



* This must be a mistake. Sultan Nasr-Addin was the son of Eaja Besae 

 Abdul, who was the son of the Merhoum Tuah by his first wife, by whom also 

 he had two daughters. (See p. 21.) 



This Raja Abdul is recorded in the notes made in Soolook in 1763 by Dal- 

 hymple as a sovereign of Bruni in succession to Merhoum Boxgsu, but all the 

 Brunian historical records and traditions give the sovereignty on this occasion to 

 his son Sultan Nase-Addin. The Eaja Besae Abdul seems to have claimed the 

 throne and been killed at Labuan in the time of Sultan Jalil-ul-Jebab, his bro- 

 ther by his father's second wife Srri Kaisa. 



t The wreck must have taken place in the reign of the seventh Sultan Sa i i - Ad- 

 din ul Eejal, and this Captain is probably the officer referred by the Spaniards 

 as assisting this son of the Sultan Abdul Kahar to displace bis brother Si Ri- 

 ela (Sri Lela). whom they had placed upon the throne in 1577. and whom 

 their second expedition in 1580 was sent again to support.
