¶ Account, taken from the diary as kept by the "Nisero's" third engineer William Bradley of the sufferings and the adventures of the surviving Crew, kept in detention by the Rajah of Tenom. On 8 November 1883 the british 1800 Tons steamer "Nisero", under command of Capt. W.S. Woodhouse, run ashore on the coast of the Kingdom Teunomn near Campong "Pangah", Westcoast of Aceh. Sailing from Surabaya to Marseille, with a cargo of sugar. The crew was international: 10 British, 2 dutchmen, 2 germans, 2 norwegians, 2 italians and an american. The stranding was rather suspicious: the day before the Captain had abruptly changed course to the harbour Oleleh to bunker coal, although the Nisero had already bunkered at Surabaya a few days before. The crew was taken captive by the Rajah of Teunom, and transported deeply inland. A ransom was asked, although the Rajah had signed his submission to dutch colonial administration. This event caused much diplomatic uproar between the Dutch and the British; the negotiations with the Rajah, advised by his first and very shrewd adviser teukoe Jit (a sajjid from arab descent), were extremely difficult, and the anti-dutch opinion in Singapore and Pinang rose dangerously. Diplomatic relations between the dutch and british grew very tense. Finally after a lot of trouble a combined dutch/british squadron appeared before the coast on 12th august, the ransom was paid, and the Rajah gave-in. For further information see: P.van 't Veer, De Atjeh-oorlog (1969), p.148, ff./Bradley, The Wreck of the Nisero and our captivity in Sumatra...Very rare account.

This war has also 2 moot points: 1°: military points-of-view on how to conduct the war, strategy, tactics and heroism; also however provocation, terror and cruelty: all subsequent Chiefs-of-Staff as the famous general J. van Swieten, K. van der Heijden, J.B. van Heutsz, were involved in these convroversies. 2°: the moral and political justification of this war; the discussion took some 75 years and is still not yet finished.
