THE NEW COLONY OF LABUAN.
This Sketch of the New Colony of Labuan, founded by our enterprising countryman , Sir James Brooke, was made in the month of August last, by the medical officer (Dr. Startin) of the honourable East India Company's war steamer Phlegethon, lately on a cruise in the Indian Archipalago, in search of pirates, thirty of whom she succeeded in capturing, and carrying to Singapore; these men forming the residue of the crew who seized and destroyed the General Wood, and murdered several hands and passengers on board, about a year and a half ago.
In the Sketch , the buildings shown upon the banks are the Government bungalows and guard-house; the navy well, left of the flag-staff; and, further left, the bath-house and other offices of the
Phlegethon steamer, in front of the picture.
中文:納閩的新殖民地。
這張素描是今年8月由光榮的東印度公司冥界火河號炮艦的醫務官(Startin博士)繪製的,描繪的是由我們的同胞詹姆斯·布魯克爵士創立的新殖民地納閩。冥界火河號最近在印度洋群島巡航尋找海盜時,成功捕獲了30名海盜,並將其帶到了新加坡;這些海盜在大約一年半前奪取並摧毀了General Wood號,並謀殺了船上幾名水手和乘客。
在素描中,河岸上的建築物是政府平房和警衛室;旗桿左側是海軍井;更左邊是冥界火河號的浴室和其他辦公室,前景是冥界火河號。
