his men receded a little, and on his turning the Raja hit him 
with his spear in the side without wounding him, although 
he fell down. Starting again to his feet he got held of the 
spear the Raja had cast at him, and threw it at the latter,

and through But even in this plight lie pushed his spear 
at the Raja, and wounded him again only slightly. The 
spear becoming bent, Sungi drew his long kris and attacked 
the Raja wounding him in the ear, and nearly unset him,

Raja’s back. The Raja Bulu Bittong enraged at this rushed 
at Dattu Sungi with his spear and pierced him in the throat 
and also through the body, arid rolled him on the ground. 
At this time Seia Pufra arrived on horseback, and found the 
Raja dizzy, and covered with blood, and just about to fall

returned to the fight He found that half of Dattu Sungi’s 
men had been made prisoners and all of the rest not killed

the field. Raja Bulu Bittong van filled during the ensu¬ 
ing night, and returned to his original state—(that is lie 
died.) [18 ]
