their illicit intercourse was a son. whom she named Muggai 
Zeinal [ 1 ] but with the knowledge of the Sultan Mazuitul 
Shah. The latter took the child and had it brought up along 
with his own three sons and instructed like them in the tenets 
of Islam. 
Raja Bulu Bittong set out as before narrated, with a large 
train. He passed by many eligible spots, but would not 
settle himself upon them. At length he met with the mantri 
who had been directed by Raja Bulu Bittong’s father, long 
before, to search for a new residence. They were busy in 
erecting a fort at this place ; which lies far up the large 
river, but below the [tributary] “ stream called Padanq 
T*ap [ 2 ] that is lower down the great river ” [Kwalla 
Muda]. The Raja halted here with the intention to complete 
the erection of this fort. But an old chief amongst the num¬ 
bers present, addressing the Raja, said, we have foolishly and 
in vain constructed this fort and formed this establishment, 
because it is at a most inconvenient distance from the mouth 
of the river. If this be the state of matters, replied the Raja,

On the left of this spot there is a stream [which flows into 
the great river,] Here the Raja directed the very thick 
pallas jungle- to be cut d< wn. When this had been done, 
he built a mud fort, with fencings of pallas trunks, and of 
dangser. People of the present day ca't it Kota pallas. 
While both of the forts just mentioned were in progress 
there came a report of the death of Raja Pra Ong Malta 
Potisat, the father of Bulu Biltong, and of the misconduct 
of Putri Saloang. Raja Bulu Bittong was so incensed at 
this latter piece of intelligence, that he never again returned to 
the fort of Kwalla Muda, but resided alway s at Kofa Pallas. 
But he had not been here very long when news arrived 
that Dattu Sunggi and his four brothers had left Patani at a 
place betwixt Patani and Clianak. Their cas'e was bad and 
wicked. The second brother was named Tuan Sirmi Ip oh, 
the third Tuan Sirmi Ratu, and the fourth Tuan Sinni Payu. 
These four brothers were certainly of a wicked race They 
were shunned and their acts disapproved of by every body. 
They robbed aod stole, killing people and plundering their 
property, they used opium, gambled, and fought cocks with
