Malacca is the oldest European possession in the East, having been taken from its Malay Sultan by the Portuguese under Albuquerque, as early as 1 5 1 1 . It was held by them till 1 64 1, when the Dutch, after several fruitless attempts, succeeded in capturing the Fort. The place remained un- der Dutch Government until 1795, when it was taken military possession of by the English. Malacca was held by the English till 18 18, when it was restored to the Dutch. It finally came into our hands un- der the treaty with Holland in 1824, in exchange for a British Settlement at Bencoolen, and other places on the wesc coast of Sumatra.

The time occupied is one day to the foot, one day for the ascent, a third day for the descent and the return to Malacca. It would be better to allow one or two days more if not pressed for time. Parties may drive to the foot of the hill, and ride or walk up. It will be necessary to take camp equipment. The fauna and flora are of the most varied description peculiar to the Malayan Peninsula. The scenery is beautiful. Camp fol- lowers can be obtained at 30 cts. per day and food (Malays). Food, rice and salt fish. Old Gold Mine. — The countrv at the back of Mount Ophir has large ancient gold mining working's, extending over a large area.

Two- thirds of this mileage can be pleasurably passed on Bicy- cles. The trip from Malacca to Seremban, the capital of Sungei Ujong, vi& Tampin and Kwala Pilah, is a good Fri- day-to-Monday excursion. The distance is about 72 miles. There are Rest Houses at Malacca, Tampin (24 miles), Kwala Pilah (48 miles), and Seremban (72 miles), where all necessaries can be had at a moderate charge (^3 per day).

Co.'s vessels leaving Malacca at 8 p.m., or they may take train from Seremban to Port Dickson, and catch the vessel leaving for Singapore at 5 p.m., and arrive at Singapore on Monday morning. In fact, CycHsts can go from Malacca right through the Native States to Province Wellesley, finding resting-places at suitable distances and returning from Penang by steamer. This journey can be done in a week. At Durian Tunggal, 10 miles from Malacca town, is a Tea estate, which produces excellent tea. Hack Gharries and Rikishas are the same as in Sing- apore and Penang. In up-country districts much travel- ling is done in bullock carts of an improved pattern.

On arriving: at Kranji, the visitor takes a sampan, and after a pleasant though short journey across the quiet water of the Strait, reaches the landing-stage at Johore. In crossing, the visitor will notice the new Mosque on the left (a building with four lofty towers), the Istana (the palace of H. H. the Sultan) which is open for the inspec- tion of visitors, and a little on the left, below the Fort Hill, the Johore Rest House overlooking the Straits. Places of Interest in Johore, — (i) The Istana. (2) The Gambling Houses .(The Monte Carlo of the East) (3) The Istana Gardens. (4) The Chinese Town. (5) A pleasant and extensive Esplanade, 2^ miles in length.

All arrangements made by the Passenger and Tourist Agency at moderate charge. Parties personally conducted. Guides and Interpreters supplied. The trip can be made in 6 hours. Passengers on mail steamers calling at Penang are re- commended to telegraph to ''Tourist, Singapore,'* stating the number of the party, and carriages will be sent to meet vessels on arrival.

AND Port Dickson— Sungei TTjong Regularly four times a week, ships of the Straits Steam- ship Co. leave Singapore for the Ports On the West Coast Digitized by VjOOQ IC Jennings' Guide, 17 of the Malayan Peninsula. These steamers, though small, afford every comfort for 1st class passengers. The trip along the whole coast is a delightful one, all through the year. These ships leave Singapore at about 5 p.m. and go through New Harbour, passing along the coast most of the way, arriving off Malacca in the early morning, where only a short stay is made to land and take on pas- .s*ingers. A few hours later the first harbour of the Native States is reached. Fort Dickson. Fort Uickson is named after the late Sir Frederick Dickson, a former Colon ial^Secretary. This excellent harbour affords anchorage for the largest ships. A good wharf is erected and connected with the railway of Sungei Ujong, which State we now enter. Port Dickson being the only harbour of this State, the imports and exports pass this way. The town of Port Dickson is renowned for its pretty surroundings and good climate. The place being consider- <;d a ** Sanitorium " by people of the neighbourhood, and being a favourite place for Picnic parties and holiday seek- ers. There is a comfortable Government Rest House here open to all European travellers ; charges about ^3 per day, similar to all other Rest Houses in the other States of the Peninsula. A short trip by the Railway brings the visitors to Seremban, the capital of the State of Sungei Ujong. Railway fares, 1st class ...| See Railway Fares „ 2nd class ...) page 31 & 32. This Railway leads partly through virgin forest, and partly along coffee estates and padi (or rice) fields. One is astonished to find such a thriving town after passing through partly unopened country. This place (Seremban) which owes its importance, like most other towns in the Malay Peninsula, to the results of tin mining, is remarkably well laid out. A very broad and excellent road leads from the station to the Town (distance about \ mile). The first buil- Digitized by VjOOQ IC 1 8 Jennings Guide, dings that are noticeable are the Government buildings on the right, and the Club. There is a large comfortable Rest House also here. The town itself is of an essentially Chi- nese character and well worth a walk through. Within close proximity to the town alluvial tin-mining is carried on. A cart road (17 miles long) connects this town with Berenang, a village in the State of Selangor. . In the near future the railway will extend in this direc- tion to connect with the Selangor railways. From Seremban it is well worth while to make a trip to Jelebu, a very important mining centre, belonging to the State of Negri Sembilan. The road from Seremban to Jelebu, leads over a very high pass (a well metalled road). Two-wheeled hackney carriages with a pony may be had readily from here to Kuala Klawang, the centre of Jelebu. The distance can be covered in about 4 hours by hack- ney carriage. Half way, on the summit of the Pass is a Rest House. The scenery all along this road is very picturesque. The town of Kwala Klawang lies in a valley surrounded by high hills. The hills form a water-shed between the East and West coasts of the Peninsula. % A splendid view of the mountains in the State of . Pahang is obtained at this point. There is a Rest House, and a Club for Europeans. On all sides one notices indications of the place being a big mining centre, the Jelebu Mining and Trading Companies having the chief works here. A visit to their Tin mining establishment would prove of great interest to a traveller, introduction, of course, being necessary. Not far away from this place, one can see some large alluvial mines in full swing. In the forests of this State, big game abounds, and sportsmen would find plenty of gcxxi sport. A road is being constructed which will con- nect this town with the State of Pahang. At the present time only jungle paths connect these States, although sports- men with camp equipment and followers would find it worth their while to cross from here into Pahang.
