Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The visit of her majesty's ship Dido to Borneo, and her services against the pirates, occupy comparatively so small a portion of this volume, that some excuse may be necessary for its leading title. It was only by undertaking to make the account of them part of the narrative, that I could prevail upon my friend Mr. Brooke to intrust me with his Journal for any public object; and when I looked at his novel and important position as a ruler in Borneo, and was aware how much of European curiosity was attached to it, I felt it impossible not to consent to an arrangement which should enable me to trace the remarkable career through which he had reached that elevation. I hope, therefore, to be considered as having conquered my own disinclination to be the relater of events in which I was concerned, in order to overcome the scruples which he entertained against being the author of the autobiographical sketch, embracing so singular a portion of his life, which I have extracted from the rough notes confided to me. That his diffidence in this respect was groundless will, I trust, be apparent from these pages, however indifferently I may have executed my unusual task, during a long homeward sea-voyage; and, from the growing interest which has arisen throughout the country for intelligence on the subject of Borneo and the adjacent archipelago, I venture also to indulge the belief that the general information will be deemed no unfit adjunct to the story of personal adventure.

This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1843 Henry Keppel, captain of S. M. S. Dido, and James Brooke, the new Rajah of Sawarak, meet in Singapore. When Keppel learns from Brooks about the serious problem of piracy in Malaysia, he decides to follow him to Borneo and to help his new friend to take actions against pirates. In his travel diary for the years 1843 to 1846 Keppel describes Brooke's campaign against piracy and his own role in solving the conflicts. The focus of his journal, however, is rather on the description of Borneo. Keppel gives the reader his impressions of the island and its people and local customs. His report is supplemented by a portrayal of James Brookes, based on extracts from Brooke's own journal.Reprint of the original edition from 1846.

This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative of Events in Borneo and Celebes, Down to the Occupation of Labuan, Vol. 2 of 2: From the Journals of James Brooke, Esq., Rajah of Sarawak, and Governof of Labuan, Together With a Narrative of the Operations of H. M.S. Iris Upon the whole, though the standard of morality is not very high, it cannot be considered low, and, in fact, is what might be expected amongst an agricultural and warlike people; and as the women have so decided a preference for the men whose bravery and deeds of arms are notorious, it readily accounts for the mass of the populace being ad dicted to war. Looking, then, at the position of these uncivilised and barbarous tribes with a calm and impartial view, we can scarcely be surprised at their fondness for all warlike pursuits and it may even be doubted whether Europeans might not be found who would take the heads of their dead enemies to gain the smiles and embraces of beauty.

Download or read book Borneo Celebes Aru written by Alfred Russel Wallace and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2007-02-01 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Racked with fever, virtually broke and earning a precarious living through sending back to London the plumes of beautiful birds, Wallace (1823-1913) ultimately became one of the most heroic and admirable of all scientist-explorers. Whether living with Hill Dyaks or hunting Orang-Utans or sailing on a junk to the unbelievably remote Aru islands, Wallace opens our eyes to a now long vanished world. Great Journeys allows readers to travel both around the planet and back through the centuries – but also back into ideas and worlds frightening, ruthless and cruel in different ways from our own. Few reading experiences can begin to match that of engaging with writers who saw astounding things: Great civilisations, walls of ice, violent and implacable jungles, deserts and mountains, multitudes of birds and flowers new to science. Reading these books is to see the world afresh, to rediscover a time when many cultures were quite strange to each other, where legends and stories were treated as facts and in which so much was still to be discovered.
