| Description: |
This edition reproduces the text of the orginal 1984 edition, in which Ada Pryer wrote about the early years of her husband's administration of the British North Borneo Company. Her memoir acts as both a travel narrative and provides an understanding of the British takeover of North Borneo. |
| Synopsis: |
In 1878 a German named Overbeck and an Englishman named Dent travelled to North Borneo (now Sabah), announced to the locals that their rules, the Sultan of Brunei, had sold all trade rights in the region, and left a young man named William Pryor to "establish" the British North Borneo Company there. This is William's wife's account. |
