THE H1ST0EY OF TRENGGANU AND KELANTAN. 19 



have the wedding in Trengganu, for he said that if Lun Muhammad 

 came there was not likely to be any trouble with the others. So 

 he ordered His Highness of Kelantan and Inche' Puan to be told 

 to get their things on board. After Syed Akil and his companions 

 had returned from summoning Lun Muhammad, Lun Muhammad 

 went to His Highness of Kelantan and informed him of the Sultan's 

 summons. His Highness of Kelantan told him that he had better 

 go to the Sultan. He replied " If Your Highness goes I will go 

 with you." But His Highness said " If I do not go it does not 

 matter." Lun Muhammad went back and induced his friends and 

 four or five young Eajas who sided with him to accompany him 

 until, he had a following of four or five hundred men. Inche' 

 Eashad said " Who are these trying to set the Sultan's boat adrift? " 

 and when they came to the Sultan he said " Well, Lun Muhammad, 

 you have come at last/' and not a drop of coffee was served. Not 

 many hours later Lun Muhammad retired and shortly after a 

 cannon was fired from Pulau Sabar, and that night the Sultan 

 ordered boats to go up river to bring down all the women. As they 

 went the noise of timber-cutting was heard and the glimmer of 

 lights was seen. The next clay when the women were being brought 

 down a stockade was seen. So the boats with all the women pro- 

 ceeded down river and joined the Sultan's vessel. The next day, 

 Friday morning, a cannon was fired from Syed Akil's boat in the 

 direction of Kampong Laut and Pulau Sabar. All the boats then 

 fired their cannon that Friday from morning until evening, but 

 there were only occasional replies from the enemy and at night the 

 firing ceased. Next morning the firing was resumed and a shot 

 came in the direction of Tikat from Syed Osman's boat and fell on 

 Tungku Che Muda's boat. This caused great consternation and 

 there was as great confusion as if there were desertion to the enemy. 

 When the Sultan was informed he replied that he had not come 

 prepared for war but for a wedding and that as there appeared to 

 be a hitch in the proceedings they had better go back to Trengganu. 

 The firing then ceased and by the help of God the Sultan suffered no 

 lusses amongst his people except that one man who was steering the 

 boat of Wan Muhammad of Kebur was shot in the mouth and killed. 

 The Sultan's fleet then sailed out and went to Trengganu. When 

 the two rulers arrived back in Trengganu the wedding of Tungku 

 Che Muda was not proceeded with that year and the only business 

 was that of the next year's war and the increase and improvement 

 of weapons. Messages were also sent to Petani asking for help 

 from Dato' Lun Ismail, and in the second year when the harbours 

 were open, they collected the young Eajas who were going by land 

 with their penghulus and followers, viz. ITngku Muda, Tuan Inche* 

 Kepong, Tuan Jamal Maras, Tuan Sulaiman, Tuan Mahamud and 

 Inche' ITngku Long. They were followed by boats with ammuni- 

 tion and other things, as a reserve against a shortage. The fighting 

 penghulus with their followers who were taken were Inche' Udin 

 of Serada and Penghulu Bahrul of Serada and Penghulu Deman
