Note 16 — Chapter II · WEST JAVA

This lady was a prisoner of the Pangeran of Jakarta (Yacatra) from whom Baron Sookmool, charmed by her beauty when he arrived in Java to trade for his father, the wealthy merchant Kawit Paru, bought her for three big guns, whose history, in the legendary lore of the island, is inextricably mixed up with the mariage à trois of Kiahi Satomo (for the nonce taking domicile at Cheribon), Niahi Satomi and the maryam of Karang Antu referred to in the preceding chapter.
