JOHN BULL'S EASTERN PEARLA

The following is from the "John Bull Over-Seas" journal, and shows the interest taken at home in afairs concerning our Territory,

One of John Bull's possessions that can- not help coming into prominence in the near future is British North Borneo. Most Englishmen have hazy notions about Bornos, which they merely associate with stories of piracy and head-hunting and the white Rajah Brooke of Sarawak. Possibly, too, some of them have smoked Borneo cigste, and voted them to be as) good in texture and flavour as anything) grown by Hasana. How many have taken their atlas and studied the geographical position of Borneo and discovered that it is tactically a salient point in the Pacific? It is so, and presently I shall show that Borneo has features that must one day be recognised by a British Government, for here we have an island that not only offers a base in the Pacific, but is capable of being cheaply turned into a conling station and provided with wet and dry docks and all the provisions of the foundry necessary for the repairs of our fleet in Eastern waters in peace or war time,

The history of the taking over of British North Borneo is a history of much interest, and the earlier chapters read like a boy's book of adventures. Over one hundred years ago the old East India Company had a footing at Balambangan Island in the north; but the natives did not like their pre- sonor, and to the year 1773 the Sulu pirates! existed John and Company, and with him

all white men. Down to comparatively

recent years the island was the home of pirasy, battle; murder, and sudden death- The Illunan pirates put to sea in their ressels, and with the sea robbers of China, the Malay Peninsula, and contiguous countries, lay in wait for merchantmen, and provided those stories of ocean fights, throat-slitting, and walking the plank that thrilled our blood when we were small

boya, and made us either want to go off at sail under the skull and erosatpones cnsign. or throw the Union Jack to the breeze on our gaff and give fight to the "Jolly Rovers," whose possible whereabouts added to the anxiety of our skippers by making them keep a uight auil day look-out for the footpade of the ocean.

The five parted company in Singapore. Young Cowie, after cruising about the Rhio and Archipelago for about two years, weûît to Borneo, and was the first white man to establish a settlement there since the East India people were expelled, a century | before. He settled on the island. of. Timbang, in Sandakan Bay, now an in- portant place, and, knowing the kind of COMPANY, people he had some among, he at once fortified his settlement. Ho chose an excellent strategical position for his store, which he palhaded and provided with two drawbridges. One of the early pro- bloms was what to do with the island now he had settled on it. An idea struck Cowie. The Spaniards wore engaged in blockad-
