アマヌバンの内紛に白檀がからんでいた

マクウィリアムは、 匿名の D を引いて、 アマヌバンの内紛を描く。

.. [F]or many years sandalwood has been the main trade item from Amanuban and many thousands of pikol 【pikul】(bundles) of wood have been exported from here to China. Through this trade the population has become somewhat wealthy in a way which one does not find in other parts of Timor. Men and women and children are richly decorated with silver rings and plates and cloths and other types of European manufacture. Usually on Timor the sandalwood trade belongs only to the Raja as his monopoly ... but here in this part of Amanuban that has split away ... the whole population is gaining from this trade [paraphrased] (1851: 171--2)
