chief, with about ten thousand óf his followers, were either slain or drowned
in the river Chilitang. Tüménggung Ndtai Jcmdna coming'mp afterwards,
collected the fugitives, and joining them with .his forces surrounded the
town. He* posted troops on all; the roads towards the south and west,
at the distance Of cannon-shot from the town, at theisame time; cütting
channels to lead off the streams by which the Dutch-,were supplied.:. After
ah unsuccessful attack made by the chiefs Mandüra Réja and Wiïa Tikta,
for which they were put .'to death by their; commander, a sally, was made*!oh
the part of the.besieged with ^so, much success', that Tumunggung Jcmdna
determined to break up with his armyj and ho further attempt against the
-Dutch was made until the year l6@9;A-.‘,D.
V In this year a secönd army from JMaidfepn, composed . o f Javans
and ; Madurese, appeared before Batavia. The siege lasted for. a considerable
time, and the assaults on the town and fort, as well as the .sallies lof the
besieged, were very bloody; _ Anxjoasyto. know the fate, of .his army, The
Sultan dispatched his uncle,' Pangéran Purbdya, to Batavia,, to obtain
information. This chief having destroyed, the Dutch'.factory,at Japara,
embarked in a swift sailing of the size, o f the trunk of the largest teak
freej which when seen at a distance looked like a serpenten; the sea. On
reaching the bay of Batavia, Purbdya perceived-three-, ships at anchor,-
Two o f them,, after firing upon him, were sunk, and notwithsfending,. the
fire from.the third he brought his prdhu safe-up to Jdkatra,'when he waafired
upon from the fort. On this Purbdya with three-followers landed from: the
prdhu, and passiqg like a shadow to the Dutch fort,, Which he touched'.with
hisr hands, proceeded on to the Javan linos, where he informed them that he
had come by the order of the-Sultan, to.give thema, proof, how near.they
might approach the Dutch fort. He then hastened bapk to Matdrem and
reported the disastrous state of the war, on which the Sultan withdrew his
forces to Kaliw&ngu.”
The Dutch sent an ambassador with rich presents, and the war ended'in
the Javan year 1551.-.
During, the latter part o f this prince’ s reign the country appears torhave
enjoyed tranquillity, the only two occasions in which it was disturbed being
the revolt of the chiefs of Balambdngan and Sumedang, which may- be
considered as the extreme points.of - the Matdrem dominion, Jdkatra and
Bantam having been effectually separated from them.
