内容説明・目次

内容説明

In 1843, James Brooke, who had been Rajah of Sarawak for only one year, met Captain Henry Keppel, in command of HMS Dido, during a visit to Singapore. Between the two men arose a deep respect: Keppel was attracted by the Rajah personally and in sympathy with his objectives, one of which was the suppression of piracy in Sarawak waters. Immediately, he agreed to lend his support, and part of this book describes the raids against pirates which were the outcome. "The Expedition to Borneo", however, is not only about piracy. It includes Keppel's own observations of Sarawak, his descriptions of meetings with local notables and with the Dayak tribes and a portrayal of the Rajah, based on his journal.
