HIKAYAT HANG TUAH. 
trainer and retires sulking 1 to Pulau Sakti. He promises the 
trainer four mistresses if lie can find a cock which will defeat Raja 
Chilian’s birds. ‘I cannot see them’ says Pa Si-Molong amid 
laughter (p. 194). He buys a fowl tied with a string of molong , 
which crows in his hand and tells the Raja it is a cock that cannot 
be conquered. The Raja dreams that the ships of Raja Chulan 
are devoured by a geroda, and takes his fighting-cocks to Pulau 
Sakti confident of victory. The leg of his fowl is broken, when 
Pa Si-Molong describes him as ‘The prince with the iron crutch’; 
his wing is broken and droops like ‘A sail that waits the wind’; 
his crop is pierced and the rice falls out of it — he is ‘ an overladen 
ship being lightened ’ ; his thigh is wounded — he is ‘ a prince wear- 
ing a sword ’ ; his head is wounded — he is ‘ a prince that has been 
•cupped.’ Raja Chilian’s victorious bird flies to his ship whereupon 
it sinks with its 90,000 soldiers; and thence he flies to the palace 
of the Raja of Trengganu, which is set on fire and burnt with all 
the houses in the port (p. 196). 
Urged by the princess of Gunong Ledang the Raja of Malacca 
sends the Laksamana with 70 ships to conquer Trengganu. He 
brings captive the princes Seganda Java Leka, daughter of the 
Bendahara, and Megat Ma'asum son of Megat Kembar 'Ali. Sul- 
tan Muhammad, son of the Raja of Malacca, is married to princess 
Seganda Jaya Leka and given the throne of Bentan. Sultan Mah- 
mud is married to the daughter of the Bendahara of Trengganu 
(?), and reigns at Lingga. 
Inderapura is attacked by todak fish (p. 206). Hang Ivadim 
son of Hang Jebat advises a wall of banana stems. Hang Kadim 
is entitled Sang Si-Tuah. The Temenggong is jealous and ac- 
cuses him of an intrigue with a girl in the palace and he is be- 
headed. Hang Ivaniar, a Malacca man trading there, reports the 
execution to the Raja of Malacca who sends Laksamana to con- 
quer Inderapura. Laksamana anchors at Pulau Tinggi and thence 
sails up to Inderapura where he exacts tribute and leads captive 
1608 persons, the families of those concerned in the death of 
Hang Kadim. 
The Raja of Malacca and all his house sail for Singapore. 
On the way, while he is looking at a golden-scaled fish, his crown 
falls into the sea. (p. 219). Laksamana dives for it, fights a white 
crocodile but fails to recover the crown and loses his creese. 
Dang Manila and Dang Cheralo, who had escaped from China, 
reach Manila and complain to the Portuguese Governor, who gets 
the King of Portugal to send 40 ships against Malacca. Two boat- 
fuls of Sakai fisherman, capture 10 Portuguese and, by order of 
their Batin headman at Bentan, report the intended attack of an 
‘ Amiada ’ at Malacca. Laksamana, though sick, repels the in- 
vaders. The “Captain Governor” is killed and Dang Suala badly 
wounded. They return to Portugal. Laksamana is wounded but 
recovers.
