Even the Dyaks recognized the fact that the ""Old Man"" was an orang (or ""mias"") of superior mind, and some of them traveled far to see him. Unfortunately the exigencies of travel and work compelled me to present him to an admiring friend in India. Mr. Andrew Carnegie and his then partner, Mr. J. W. Vandevorst, convoyed my Old Man and another small orang from Singapore to Colombo, Ceylon, whence they were shipped on to Madras, received there by my old friend A. G. R. Theobald, --and presented at the court of the Duke of Buckingham.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
