At Pangkallang To Bandar Mr. Newbold pro- 

 cured a smaller boat, in which he proceeded 

 about another mile, beyond which he found him- 

 self unable to advance, on account of the numer- 

 OBS obstacles in the shape of felled trees » &c. 

 which barred his progress, and he was therefore 

 reluctantly compelled to return. 



The mines of Unggy, as indeed is the case 

 throughout the Peninsula, are wrought by Chi- 

 Tvese. Kawal, the uncle of the present Kalana, 

 permitted them to settle for this purpose on the 

 following conditions, viz : that, at each smelting 

 of the ore. without reference to the quantity sub- 

 jeeted to the process, he, as Pangooloo of Soongei 

 Oojong, was to receive three bahars of tin, of 

 three piculs each, at the rate of thirty Spanish 

 dollars per bahar. An additional sum of six Spa- 

 nish dollars was a No to be paid on the same oc* 

 casion to the proprietor of the soil. 



Kawal having advanced the requisite capital, 

 the Chinese entered upon the working of the 

 mines. The funds were obtained by his consign- 

 ing all the tin, as it passed down the Linggy* to 

 the merchants of Malacca, who advanced the 

 money upon the speculation. Upon one occasion 

 no less than two thousand five hundred dollars 

 was advanced, of which Kawal retained one thou- 

 sand as his own share, paid eight hundred to the 

 Kalana, gave four hundred to the Rajah di Rajah 

 of Soongei Oojong, and divided the remaining 

 three hundred between Kadif Alii, and Inchi 

 Mahomed, two of the fonflders of the colony.
