Note 6 — ROJO’S NARRATIVE

See VOLS. XLIII and XLIII; appendices in vol. ii of Montero y Vidal’s Piratería; Barrantes’s Guerras piraticas, appendix: for the negotiations between the king of Joló, and his brother Bantilan, and the Spaniards and English respectively. The king Ali-Mudin and his son were taken to Joló by Brereton when the British forces evacuated Manila in 1764. The king abdicated in favor of his son Israel. Thereupon, the Joloans divided into two factions, one in favor of the English and the other, headed by Israel, against them (Montero y Vidal’s Piratería, i, p. 338). ↑
