Harriette McDougall spent twenty years in Sarawak with her husband, the mission’s first bishop, while the young state struggled against pirates and head-hunting. She describes the court-house, College Hill, the church and school, the girls in her care, the Lundu people, boat journeys and the Chinese traders who often had the upper hand.
