Sarawak

There is a fort in Sibu, as indeed there is at most of the river places in Sarawak.

Several years ago the Rajah of Sarawak decreed that no one should collect orchids in his territory, for sale, without a license.

The village stands on the river Sarawak, and at any moment of the day a sampan can be hired to take one thither.

Some years afterwards, a young clerk in the service of a German firm at Singapore, visited Sarawak on his holiday.

After one night there it moved for the next night to bivouacs known as Sarawak Camp, in the woods north of Poperinghe.
