She measured abouta hundred and fifty tons, and gave promise of being both a good seaboat, and a fast sailer. I shall have to speak by and by of herarmament and interior arrangements. She was built by the Spanish inManilla; but being bought by some Americans, was employed as an opiumsmuggler, and captured by the Dutch. She was sold by the Government tosome merchants who failed, and from whose creditors I bought her, nottwo years after she was launched. She was thus as strong as if new, andprove...d not unworthy of the good opinion formed of her by Fairburn. CHAPTER SEVENTEEN. Java is one of the oldest possessions of the Dutch in the East. It wascaptured from them by the English during the late war, and held by usfrom 1812 to 1816, during which time it was placed under the governmentof the justly celebrated Sir Stamford Raffles, a truly philanthropic andenlightened man. Java, from what I saw and heard of it, is one of themost fertile islands in the world; and Sir Stamford, with every argumenthe could employ, urged the British Government, both for the sake of thenatives, and for Great Britain herself, not again to abandon it to theDutch.
