A· BATH IN BLOOD
A MINGULAR CEREMONY,
The Pahang correspondent of the Straits *Times writes :--
An important function in honour of Tangka Long, the Saltan's daughter by bis wife Tungku Ampuan, was performed in the defans on the 4th, at which this lady was the principal agare. To explain more:fully it is necessary to go back a bit and record a custom which in treated with great respect by all Malays, irrespective of the State: to which they belong, sa this custom is one that is observed in certain cases by the race in general. Whenever any trouble threatens Malay or any exceptionally eathless und vigoroni dovres of Fale, or whenever any member of his family is very ill or is threatened by some great danger, then the Malay, with that inherent superstition which is such a marked characteristic in him, rogistera s solemn wow that should" after all no trouble, such as he dronda, bofall him or hin, he would aller to the gals certain forms of thanksgiying in the mosquo, tho said offering being generally purchased by an expenditure of money which is regulated by the condition of the effurer's ex choquor. In some instanets; however, vowe are registered, the parformance of which will entail heavy expenditure, and to the honour of the Malay, be it noted, that once he does so, under no circumstances will he fail to fufil what he han resolved upon. This custom is called by the Malays Mongot, and this apparent digression Pras necessary so that what follows may be the
better understood.
