B., Rajah of Sarawak, Vol. 2 of 3: Narrating the Events of His Life, From Its 1838 to the Present Time The Murdoo people were punished with the loss of their town, and had from fifty to seventy men killed or wounded, which loss arose chiefly from their standing in their stockade, instead of picking us off steadily from the jungle. On our side we had two men killed, and about a dozen wounded, most of them severely. Chads, the first lieutenant of the Harlequin, was cut down by a native, and most seriously hurt, his left hand being nearly severed from his body, and his side laid open for seven or eight inches. I was likewise amongst the wounded, as in charging a stockade I got a spear thrust, which cut my eye-brow in two, a light but very bloody scratch, which has slightly injured my beauty; and at the same time a shot inside my right arm, which rendered me for the time hora-de combat my eye is now well, and my arm so well that you may observe that I write as badly as usual. This redoubted action took place on the 12th of February, 1844. Behold me then a wounded hero, and I must confess that my vanity was flattered by the crew of the Wanderer, who made a request to be allowed to cheer me, when I quitted the brig.

Download or read book White Rajah written by Nigel Barley and published by Abacus. This book was released on 2013-06-20 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir James Brooke was an extraordinary 'eminent' Victorian, whose life was the stuff of legend.His curious career began in 1841 when he was caught up in a war in Brunei which had started because a party of local Dayaks had refused to furl their umbrellas in the presence of the Sultan. Brooke was an opportunist who, with the Sultan's backing, made war on the Dayaks tribespeople and eventually found himself ruling over Sarawak - a kingdom the size of England - as a result. How he achieved it is a romantic, sometimes horrifying story. Brooke is someone that George Macdonald Fraser would scarcely dare to invent. Errol Flynn wanted to play him in a movie, seventy years after his death and his dynasty is remembered throughout South-East Asia.
