He and his shipmates barely survived hunger, thirst, exposure, hostile natives, and treachery before receiving good treatment and protection from the king of Banjarmasin in return for military assistance. Despite obtaining trading rights for the VOC, Roy was outlawed for absconding with the ship's money and subsequently sailed as a free trader in the Indies, visiting Borneo, Sumatra and Siam. Having acquired a considerable fortune from his enterprises, he was employed by the king of Siam to dispose of a certain English pirate who was visiting Siamese waters. The Roy's account includes brief descriptions of both Brunei and Sukadana although most of his description concern Banjarmasin. He also provided European readers with their first published description of Borneo's interior and of the people who lived there (Lach, Asia in the making of Europe, III, p.1390-1395). - Including an extensive description of the gold and diamonds mines on Borneo and the pirates of Palembang. - A fine copy.Landwehr, VOC, 291; Tiele 944; Cat.

(2),234; XIV,200 pp. First edition. - Carl Anton Ludwig Maria Schwaner (1817 -1851) was a German geologist and naturalist. He studied geology and mineralogy in Heidelberg, afterwards being associated with the museum of natural history in Leiden. In 1842, on a recommendation from Coenraad Jacob Temminck, he became a member of the Natuurkundige Commissie voor Nederlandsch Indië (Scientific commission of the Dutch East Indies). He arrived in Batavia in August 1842, and following certain delays, traveled to Borneo in order to conduct geological investigations. From 1843 to 1848, he performed geological, topographical, zoological and ethnographical research on Borneo. From November 1847 to February 1848, he trekked from the southern town of Bandjermasin, through the interior of the island, to Pontianak on its western coast; thus becoming the first European to accomplish such a feat.During that time he was the first European to cross the island from Banjarmasin to Pontianak. The author was accompanied by the artists Auguste van Pers (1815-1871) and Heinrich von Gaffron (1813-1880). He included much early information on the ethnic groups he encountered.
