other five pirate vessels parted company from them to go over to Billiton and Banca Strait, and doubtless they too will carry their depredations right up into the Straits of Singapore, and pick up English subjects and injure English trade, as those we met have done.
But, apart from all our local feelings about, and dangers from, these people, it makes an Englishman out here ashamed to feel that his own dear country, which he would fain regard as the liberator of the slave and the avenger of the wronged, is in truth doing nothing against the system, fraught with incalculable misery to so large a section of the human race. For it must be remembered that the slavery these people suffer is far more crushing to them than the African, who is taken as a savage to serve civilised, and, at least nominally, Christian masters; but these are generally well-to-do men of civilised nations, who are made the slaves of utter fiends, who work and torture them to death in one year only, to replace them by fresh victims whom they capture the next. It is, indeed, va victis with them, and I think it is the duty of every Christian man and every Christian nation to do all that can be done to rid the earth of such horrible and dangerous monsters, and to punish the Sultan of Sooloo, and all who abet and aid them. The Dutch and Spaniards are always doing something, but not enough, and during the last four or five years these pirate fleets have been gradually getting more and more numerous and daring on these coasts, and now it is for England to rouse herself and complete the work of putting them down. Labuan is near their haunts, and it might be done from thence. A few thousands spent out here yearly for the purpose would, I believe in my heart, soon effect much more real and lasting good than the millions which are being spent on the coast of Africa. All honour is due to Sir James Brooke and his nephew, the Rajah Mudah, and the other officers of the Sarawak Government, who, in spite of misrepresentation and factious opposition, through evil report and good report, have persevered for years in constant, steady, and systematic efforts to put down piracy on this coast, and chastise these villainous marauders whenever they come into Sarawak waters.
If the English Government will now act with and assist us, we shall soon clear the Sarawak and Labuan waters of these pests. Assisted by the experience and knowledge of our natives, the work would be done surely and effectually, but, single-handed, the Sarawak Government, notwithstanding all it has done, cannot carry it out. We want
means ; if England or Englishmen will give us that, we shall gladly do the work, and feel that we are delivering our fellow-men, and doing our duty to God, who has commanded us to free the captive and deliver the oppressed; while at the same time we shall be averting a danger which is ever threatening us at our own doors, and has so long crippled the energies and resources of this country. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,
