kes HISTORY OF SANTUBONG OF SARAWAK. 
Radin Gosti. Prince Radin Depati commences a series of 
perilous abventures by making war on the Rajah Jemarulan 
and being cursed by heaven suffers defeat: so accompanied by 
Urei Sri and Gosti he seeks refuge in Johore. Here they 
receive a hearty welcome from the Sultan who treats them as 
his own-sons. 
As might have been anticipated our hero fell in love with 
the Sultan’s daughter and his suit meeting with a favourable 
response Radin Depati took to wife Dayang Suri. There were 
great rejoicings at the marriage and all Johore made it the 
oceasion of a special holiday. But alas! for some reason or 
other the gods were offended and whilst the bridal party were 
making merry in their ship, a violent storm arose which carried 
them far from their home. The vessel with its seasick and 
famished crew was borne in the wind to Siku-danah on the 
south west coast of Sarawak where the unfortunate party 
landed. 
Here they were welcomed and for some time they were 
content to remain with the good people of Siku-danah. For 
some unexplained reason Depati considers it wise to conceal his 
identity and he now ealls himself Sa Merapati. His brother 
Radin Urei Sri receives in marriage the daughter of the Rajah 
of Siku-danah. After a while, the whole party decide to return 
to Johore and again they venture on the open sea: the winds 
take their vessel first to the island of Malang biru and then to 
Puloh Malakutan famed for its coral and-nibong palms. Thence 
they are carried to Sambas where they remain for more than 
a month. 
At this time Sambas was ruled by a young queen who is 
smitten with love for Urei Sri and as a result the latter becomes 
king of Sambas. In this country he remains whilst the rest 
of the party sets sail again, and eventually reaches Tanjong 
Datu. Here they remain for some time, Radin Dapati taking 
the title of Datu Merapati, and his wife Datu Permaisuri. 
From our hero in fact this place takes its name of Datu and to 
this day his grave is to be found at this well known cape. Later 
on, Datu Merapati becomes Rajah of Tanjong Datu. At this 
time the country was very much infested by crocodiles who were ©
