Pirates on the Borneo Coast Battled by Dido
The Dido under Captain Keppel conducted extensive operations against Borneo pirates. Off Marundum and Natunas the British boats engaged prahus, taking several vessels and capturing crews. In the Seribas river campaign near Paddie, Pakoo, and Rembas, forts were stormed, villages burned, and 40 war boats destroyed. The expedition included 95 officers and men plus 300 native followers, with Dyak allies providing support. Four prisoners were taken at Rembas and head-money prepared for crew members based on captured heads, while chiefs pledged to curb piracy under Sultanate mediation.
