the fire of their guns, and defeats the ships all save three which 
sailed away. “ There was one big tall captain, very brave. He 
cut at the Laksaniana with a shaky arm. The Laksamana cut him 
in two” (p. 158). 
Hang Tuali reaches the land of the Klings. Thanks to his 
herbs the wife of Nala Sang Guna has conceived, and her husband 
piles gold and silver round Hang Tuah up to his neck. 
Hang Tuah returns to Malacca. The Seri Betara of Maja- 
pahit had died and Pateh Gajah Mada asks for Radin Bahar to 
succeed him. Hang Tuah escorts him. On his return a Brunai 
raja, Adipati Solok, sails with fifteen ships given by his father 
Adipati Agong, to the cape of Jaya-Ivatra, called Tanjong Kera- 
wang and there waylays the Malacca fleet. Hang Tuah shoots one 
arrow that breaks the mast and one that breaks the rudder of the 
Adipati’s boat. He captures him. The Raja of Malacca sends 
Hang Tuah to escort Adipati Solok back to Brunai. The Raja of 
Brunai sends the Raja of Malacca 3 pikul of camphor, 500 kendaka 
each worth a iahil, 10 blow-pipes mounted with gold, 200 kodi of 
mats ( tikar pachar) and 3 Brunai slaves, with 90 slaves and cam- 
phor for Hang Tuah (p. 174). 
Hang Tuah is sent to Siam for elephants. He reaches Ujong 
Salang and lands at Patani, whose great gate is adorned with a 
carved dragon. He comes to Siam where Awi Phra Klong tells 
him he must crawl on his knees into the presence of the Phra Chau 
unattended. He refuses and is allowed to present himself in 
Malay style. Viziers, captains and court officers (abu-abuan, 
ukun-ukun, umbum-umbum) receive him. Hang Tuah speaks 
Siamese fluently. Hang Tuah fences with a Japanese bravo and 
kills him and five of his followers. Two survivors flee to Kuala 
Kemboja. Hang Tuah remarks on the broken coinage ( benda yang 
pechah belali) and persuades Phra Chau to substitute the shells he 
got from Brunai (kendaka). He is sent home with six elephants 
for his Raja and four for himself. The two surviving Japanese 
attack his ships but Hang Tuah’s magic lets only smoke issue from 
their guns and makes their swords drop. Hang Tuah presents the 
elephants to his Raja. The largest is called Podi Manikam and 
another Per mat a Selan. 
Radin Mas Ayu bears a daughter, Puteri Gunong Ledang; 
Tun Teja bears Sultan Mahmud and Sultan Muhammad. The 
Raja, of Malacca sends Tun Rakna ’diraja and Tun Maharaja ’di- 
raja to Ceylon to buy precious stones. 
Hang Tuah opens a settlement for his Raja at Mt. Lingga. 
The king of 'Ceylon sends his son Raja Chilian to Malacca 
in a ship so large that betel-trees and vines were planted on its 
decks with hundreds of fighting-cocks : — when they crowed, the 
ship listed. Having been welcomed at Malacca, he asks leave to 
sail to Trengganu, where he worsts the cocks trained by Pa Si- 
Molong, the Raja’s trainer. The Raja puts out the eyes of his 
R. A. Soc., No. 83, 1921.
