lo PAGAN TRIBES OF BORNEO chap. accounts until the fifteenth century. The Chinese, on the other hand, always a literary people, carefully preserved in their archives all that could be gathered with regard to the "southern seas." But China was far away, and many local events would possess no interest for her subjects. Under the circumstances, the official historians deserve our gratitude for their geographical descriptions and for the particulars of tribute-bearing missions to the Son of Heaven, though they have little else to tell. The first account we have been able to find referring to Borneo is a description of the kingdom of Poli from the Chinese annals of the sixth century. Poli was said to be on an island in the sea southeast of Camboja, and two months south-east of Canton. The journey thither was made by way of the Malay Peninsula, a devious route still followed by Chinese junks. Envoys were sent to the Imperial court in a.d. 518, 523, and 616. '* The people of this country," our authority says, "are skilled in throwing a discus - knife, and the edge is like a saw ; when they throw it at a man, they never fail to hit him. Their other arms are about the same as in China. Their customs resemble those of of the country are Camboja, and the productions the same as of Siam. When one commits a murder or theft they cut off his hands, ^ and when adultery has been committed, the culprit has his legs chained for the period of a year. For their sacrifice they choose the time when there is no moon'; they fill a bowl with wine and eatables and let it float away on the surface of the water ; in the eleventh month they have a great sacrifice. They get corals from the sea, and they have a bird called s'ari, which can talk." A later reference to the same place says: "They carry the teeth of wild beasts in their ears, and ^ There is a Bruni still alive whose hands have been cut off for theft.
