SKETCHES AT THE NICOBARS. 
One great favorite of Lis was e< A frog he would a wooing go'% 
distorting it in the most abominable manner. I regretted 
to part with him, but I am sorry to say he is much 
addicted to liquor, and is so nervous that he can scarcely lift 
a glass to his lips. 
MALAY PANTUNS. 
Tiritep tiram tergantong, 
Limau manis banya* bijinya. 
Pile pile muda sakampong, 
Itam manis bai’ budinya* 
Tfritep tiram tergantong, 
Sambar menyambar sianapari. 
Bua hati pgugarong jantong, 
Hilang dimana kakanda chari. 
Buiiga milor champaka biru, 
Bunga rampi didalam puan. 
Tujo malam samalam rindu, 
Bilum sampei padamu tuan. 
Bunga rampei didalam puan, 
Ruku ruku deri Piringit. 
Bilum sampei pada mu tu&n, 
Rindu saya bukan sidikit. 
Ruku ruku deri Piringit, 
Tras jati bertalam talam. 
Rindu saya bukan sidikit, 
Nyaris mati samalam malam. 
Tras jati bertalam talam, 
Kapal belabo di lautan sisi. 
Nyaris mati samalam malam, 
Bantal dipilu saya tarigisi. 
Kapal bglabu dilautan sisi, 
Pata putri naga naganya, 
Bantal dipilu saya tangisj, 
Hinda* mati rasa rasanya.
