Abstract
Sir, -I have the honour to report that by the s.s. “Merrie England” I received, by way of Cooktown on the 5th June, certain information that the Dutch New Guinea tribes, known in the west of the Possession as the Tugeri, had again crossed the boundary and were raiding the coast up to the Magistrate’s Station at Mabudauan. I therefore felt it to be my duty to hasten West as fast as possible to meet these marauders and expel them. A delay of two days took place before the steamer could discharge cargo and get ready for sea, but we got under way on the 8th June and sailed for Mabudauan, where I landed on the 11th.
Annual Report on British New Guinea, 1891–2, Appendix L, pp.50–3. Only relevant sections have been reproduced here.
