Had we gone up the Rambas, we might have killed the fugitives by hundreds. As it was, some thirty to fifty of these fugitives were killed by our stragglers : but how was this to be avoided ? Stragglers and loose fish are to be found with every body of men, whether European or native. And the number thus killed appears to me exceedingly small, considering the circumstances ; and our natives behaved with great humanity.
" We had one prahu from Sadung manned by Malays, every one of whom had lost a... near relative, killed by the Serebas during the year.
" The total number of the pirates destroyed was eight hundred ; namely Killed during the action by the steamer and English boats... 250 Killed by the natives during the action 50 Killed -after the action, when on their way home 50 Died in the jungle, or after reaching their homes. 450 ~800 " I know very well, " adds Sir James Brooke, " that these people are to be reclaimed by punishment and by kindness, and there is no chance of their being ' exter- minated ; ' though there is a certainty of all the poorer and peaceful Dyak tribes being exterminated if the Serebas and Sakarran are countenanced by the English philanthropists, and encouraged to slaughter their neigh- bours.
