14/20 Some more afraid of rajah than of English; some think better have English here than rajah. Sehi very treacherous; attack when they do not expect it. He thinks his prahus can easily take English ship; but Hassan says Sehi wants the other chiefs to aid, so that if the English send up more ships, then, can all join him in fighting them. He has eight war canoes, but no good against prahus--they run at canoes, and cut them in half; but will come to help if English attack. He does not know where prahus are. |
