the attack Kuching. After knowing the plans Masahor Sharif attacked Kuching,
in early February 1860 Charles Brooke has launched the initial attack on the
team in mid-sharif Masahor Sarawak river. Charles Brooke in the fighting
have destroyed the ships Masahor Sharif and Sharif Masahor fled to Brunei.
James Brooke then forced the sultan of Brunei remove syarif Masahor to
