28 M4H0MEDAN SOVEREIGNS OF BBUNI. 



The son of the Sultan Mahomet Alt was the Pangiran di 

 Gedong Omae. His manners were so insolent, that the Nobles and 

 people, headed by the Raja Bcndahara Abdul Mubix, who was a 

 grandson of Sultan Hasan through one of his daughters, requested 

 the removal of the obnoxious "Wazir ; his father consented, and his 

 house was attacked by the Bcndahara. The di Gedong fled to his 

 father's palace, which was burnt, and all the males of the royal 

 family, except two infants named Hasan and Husin, were put 

 to death by being garotted in the garden. This occurred on the 

 evening of Sunday ( Malam Isnein ), the 14th Eabi al Ahkir, a.h. 

 1072. The Sultan Mahomet Ali is hence called Merhoum Turn- 

 bang di Rumput. 



The two infants were protected by their brother-in-law, Pan- 

 giran Bongsu, and the government was seized by the Bcndahara, 

 who reigned under the title of — 



No. 13. — Sultan Abdul Mubix. He is called the Merhoum 

 di Pulau from his having lived at Pulau Chermin, and having been 

 executed and buried there. 



The people of Bruni with the Kedeians, headed by the Pangi- 

 gan Bongsu, who had been made Bcndahara by the usurper, after 

 some time rebelled against the Sultan Abdul Mubin. Por greater 

 security, he had fortified Pulau Chermin, and its situation enabliDg 

 him to cut off all communication between the sea and the town, he 

 removed to the island and carried on the war from there. Treaties 

 of peace were on several occasions concluded, but always broken 

 by the Pangiran Bongsu ( who had assumed the title of Sultan 

 Muaddin), as soon as his resources were recruited. 



The war lasted about twelve years, during a great part of which 

 time Abdul Mubix had been living at Kinarut, and four Pangirans 

 Temeuggongs had been killed in attacking him from Bruni. He 

 finally returned to Chermin, under a treaty which his rival had 

 sworn on the Koran to observe, but which was immediately broken. 

 By the assistance of a force from the Sultan of Soolook, the forts 

 on the island were captured, and the Sultan taken and krissed at 

 his own desire, instead of dying by being strangled in the custom- 

 ary manner. #
