 The deliberations conducted in London have a far-reaching importance, and so the decision issued from the fog-veiled offices of the Borneo Company darkened for Almayer the brilliant sunshine of the Tropics, and added another drop of bitterness to the cup of his disenchantments.  The claim to that part of the East Coast was abandoned, leaving the Pantai river under the nominal1 power of Holland.  In Sambir there was joy and excitement.  The slaves were hurried out of sight into the forest and jungle, and the flags were run up to tall poles in the Rajah’s compound in expectation of a visit from Dutch man-of-war boats.
 
The frigate2 remained anchored outside the mouth of the river, and the boats came up in tow of the steam launch, threading their way cautiously amongst a crowd of canoes filled with gaily3 dressed Malays.  The officer in command listened gravely to the loyal speeches of Lakamba, returned the salaams4 of Abdulla, and assured those gentlemen in choice Malay of the great Rajah’s—down in Batavia—friendship and goodwill6 towards the ruler and inhabitants of this model state of Sambir.
 
Almayer from his verandah watched across the river the festive7 proceedings8, heard the report of brass9 guns saluting10 the new flag presented to Lakamba, and the deep murmur11 of the crowd of spectators surging round the stockade12
