THE NATIVES. 
Natives, as one calls the Sundanese and coast 
Malays. These natives are vehicle - drivers, 
small traders, and assistants to the Chinese, 
but the bulk of them are coolies. The more 
intelligent are household servants, but as a 
rule their intelligence is not of a high order, 
while they are very lazy and inclined to dis- 
honesty.
