Fülszöveg


IN 1843, James Brooke, who had been the First
Rajah of Sarawak for only one year, met the
Hon. Captain Henry Keppel, in command of
HMS Dido, during a visit to Singapore. Between the
White Rajah and the Rajah Laut (Sea King), the title by
which Keppel became known, a deep respect arose:
Keppel was attracted by the Rajah personally and in
sympathy with his objectives, one of which was the
suppression of piracy in Sarawak waters. Immediately,
he agreed to lend his support, and part of this book
describes the raids against pirates which were the out-
come.
But The Expedition to Borneo is not only about
piracy. It includes Keppel's own observations of
Sarawak, his descriptions of meetings with local notables
and with the Dayak tribes and, most important, a
portrayal of the Rajah, based on his journal.
This reprint, with an authoritative Introduction by
Dr R.H. W. Reece, will be welcomed by all those
interested in Sarawak and its history.
